Jazz (Bop and all related sub-genres, Cool, Post Bop, some Fusion (mostly the Rock-oriented stuff), some Free)
Rock ("White Boy Blues", Progressive (my favorite), almost any Metal in which the vocalist can be understood, the bass is audible, and the drums sound like drums, Darkwave, Downbeat, Folk-Rock (especially British Isles folk-influenced), Country Rock/Alt-Country, and various other stuff)
- Gear-Fi
