Here's this sites' genre groupings ranked in the order of which I generally listen to the most to the least, with estimated percentages for how much I listen to each in the time I am listening to music.
Hard Rock & Metal - 75%
Metal is my favourite genre by far. There's so much variety in metal I could almost listen exclusively to whatever can be classified as some sort of Metal. I'm not too fond of Hard Rock though. I'm mostly indifferent to it, occasionally I'll enjoy it a bit.
Country, Folk & World Music - 10%
Quite a few of the Folk Metal and Black Metal bands I listen to put out pure Folk albums and songs at one point or another, so I thought that'd count for this. I also don't mind a bit of older Country music, mostly stuff I've heard from the video game Fallout: New Vegas. I haven't really spent much if any time exploring Reggae though.
Rock:- Rock & Roll, Classic Rock, & Progressive Rock - 4%
I've gotten most of the appreciation I have for this music from my parents and Guitar Hero/Rock Band. I'm a fan of Rush, Queen, The Beatles, CCR, The Guess Who, The Animals etc. I don't listen to it much, but it's almost always enjoyable to some degree.
Classical Music & Opera - 3%
I don't listen to Classical by itself much, but I definitely enjoy Baroque and Romantic Era Classical when mixed with Metal.
Jazz & Blues - 3%
I've mildly liked the small amount of Blues I've heard, and I do like some Swing music from the Fallout video games. I also enjoy Jazz when it's mixed with Metal.
Film & Stage Music - 1%
I'm taking this genre label meaning something like Movie/Video Game soundtracks. I'll sometimes listen to soundtracks, but it's very rare. I have enjoyed the soundtracks for the two video games Halo 4, and TES V: Skyrim, as well as enjoyed the soundtrack for the Horror movie Ravenous though.
Alternative:- Punk, Post-Punk, Grunge & Indie - 1%
These are genres which some of I like a bit, most I'm indifferent with, and some more which I really, strongly dislike.
Electronic Music - 1%
Depending on the exact meaning of this, my opinion on it could mean a number of things. I mean I don't mind and sometimes really enjoy music which's made with Moog Synthesizers, Theremins, Vocoders etc. but that music is usually accompanied by other instruments. So I'm unsure I can say how much I really like pure 100% electronic music except that I'm likely mostly indifferent to it.
Soul/R&B & Hip Hop/Rap - 1%
I can't say I've found much of these genres which I've enjoyed, but I haven't looked much, and I'm willing to bet there's probably some of it out there which I could enjoy. Just as of now I'm either indifferent to the music I've heard from these genres, or quite dislike the music I've heard from these genres. I think it'd be good if I found the first artist in this genre which I could really enjoy, because I find once I've found one artist in a genre I like, it becomes much easier to find more artists similar to their style which I can also enjoy, and expand from there.
Pop, & Dance -1%
I've never been a dancer, and I can't say I care for any of the Pop I've heard on the radio. I usually either find it a bit annoying, or it's just there with no purpose to me and I just tone it out.
Also here is a list of Metal sub-genres ranked in order of preference.
