OK, I've seen this list done for films by several people, but has it been done for music? If it hasn't I'd be really curious to see what choices other listologists might make. If it has been done, point it out, and I'll give credit where credit is due.
Ah, wonderful! Ever since you posted your "genres I like/dislike" lists, I've been wanting examples.
Thanks jim. Yeah, I have no idea why I didn't do one of these sooner, considering how much fun it was. Everyone was doing film genre favorites, so I finally decided to hijack that cool idea for music. I'd love to see more listologists try one of these...
