I love classical, have always found it suprisingly underwhelming on my headphones, prehaps playing in an orchestra has spoilt it a little for me. I am a lover of warm sound, I hate even the slightest feeling of "sharpness", completely spoils my listening experience and sense of emersion. The way I perceive "sharp" sounds in real life seems very different to the way they sound squirted into my ears from a driver an inch away, so they seem to stick out like a sore thumb, thus I just avoid. Dark and laid back is the way for me.
My taste for popular music is oddly specific. Bands I like include old krautrock bands (Can, Faust, Neu etc) Portishead, Radiohead, Wilco. Oh and The Fall. Tom Waits.
A few strange and heinous ommisions in the Classic Rock and Prog Rock genres which I barely listen to at all for some reason.
All in all not much guitar music so the headphone doesnt have to be great for "rocking out", at least not rocking out to actual rock
