I'm surprised... I seem to be about the only person so far who likes every genre of music. I mean, sure, there are certain songs I don't like, and others I adore... and of course I can't stand music by people who couldn't sing to save their lives... but as for an actual genre, there isn't one I like or dislike more than any other. Anyone else like that?

Oh, and sorry I'm not posting much... since my roommate left, I have no computer, so I have to resort to using Darien's... and, well, you all can see how much time that leaves me to come here and check stuff out.

But it's okay, since I no longer have a roommate... ~_^
