Who i listen to usually coincides with my activity... if i'm playing a fighting or racing game, i'll have a metal / rock / alternative playlist that could include anyone from Metallica to Maiden to Korn to Disturbed to Bullet For My Valentine to Lacuna Coil, etc... if i'm wanting some background music on, i'll pick a random digital music station and let it cycle through until i'm bored with it.
 
I like all kinds of music. However some of my favorite artists are; Soundgarden, The Smashing Pumpkins, Stone Temple Pilots, Nirvana, Alice in Chains, etc.
 
Growing up in the 60's and 70's, I listened to a lot of the classic rock from that era. As I matured, I began to realize that most of my favorite bands and artists were very much based in the blues and folk genres. Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, The Stones, Pink Floyd, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Janice Joplin, etc. As I got older, I have found myself going deeper into this genre, especially the Blues. I have listened to a lot of the original artists that most of these bands and musicians got their influence from. Modern technology and satellite radio has allowed me to really explore a lot of forms of music and expand into more forms such as the Jazz genre. From the early years to the drug induced interpretive music of people like Coltrane and Davis and others.
In the last few years, I have also found myself expanding into other genres. I believe the style of the music doesn't mean as much as the quality of the writing. The lyrics and structure of the song giving me a more emotional response, whether that is joy, sorrow or whatever. I still tend to lean toward good bluesy guitar based music but I have become more open minded. I do prefer a more natural sound, though. Not electronically altered to the point where so much of it sounds the same.
 
I grew up with Blues, Motown, Soul and Jazz music constantly playing in our house. As a teenager in the 90's I went to festivals such as Glastonbury and was a bit of a grunge kid.
Consequently my music taste is a mix, with artists such as Otis Redding, Etta James (what a voice!), Nina Simon, Sam Cooke mixed in with Blues artists like Muddy Waters, Bo Diddley and Elmore James, all stemming from my childhood listening.
And then the influence the 90's music had on me with artists/bands like Jeff Buckley, Air, Pulp, Pearl Jam, Nirvana etc. (I could go on and list so many but won't! ) And at the same age I was discovering older music like Bob Dylan, Cash, The Stones, The Doors etc.
As for newer music I occasionally hear something and have to find out more about them, then delve into the weird wide web and find myself listening to all sorts. Generally it's deep a male voice that will grab my attention rather than a sweeter female tone.

Black Hole Sun is a firm favourite and Alice in Chains was one of the last bands I went to see live. :)

Lucky. I wish that I could've gone to see them. lol
I never got to see any of those artists live and now (for the most part I can't because) Chris Cornell is gone along with Layne Staley, Kurt Cobain, and Scott Weiland. For a while Chester Bennington was singing with Stone Temple Pilots but now he's gone too. Out of that generation (of singers) we still have Eddie Vedder, William (Billy) Corgan, and Dave Grohl. We better enjoy the art they create while it's still here because when an artist dies their art dies with them.
 
Mood always matters but blues southern rock and country for the most part. Don’t get me wrong Motown, R and B stuff has a place in my heart. just a huge appreciation for music in general

Unfortunately I never had the opportunity to see Layne Staley but saw them play with William DuVall and to be honest I was unexpectedly blown away.
Not seeing Jeff Buckley is one of my greatest sorrows in life, especially as I later found out he had played at a Glastonbury I was at, but I was unaware at the time and probably stoned in a different field. And if I ever got to hear Eddie Vedder's voice up close, I would probably orgasm on the spot, so maybe it wouldn't be a good idea to try :/

Yeah It's crazy how well William DuVall does. Well it's not too late to orgasm at the sound of Eddie Vedder's voice so you better try it before that becomes a regret too. lol

He has a very flexible sounding voice. At first I thought that STP changed singers multiple times but then I found out it was all him. His voice sounds different from song to song. Like; 'Vasoline', 'Interstate Love Song', 'Creep', 'The Big Empty', 'Wicked Garden' and then 'Fall to Peices' and 'Slither' from his time in Velvet Revolver. He had an amazing musical talent. Personally I don't think of him as just a singer though but as a vocalist (like cartoon voices) also.
