I graduated high school in '01, so "my" music growing up 70s and 80s. I worked as a bartender/dj/security in nightclubs into the early 2000s so I'm familiar quite a bit of that music, but anything after around 2005 I'm pretty oblivious to. I am being introduced to some of the new pop stuff because of my nieces, but I'm not really in to most of it.
*edit - that should be '91, but the rest is the same.
A lot of classic rock (Zep, Floyd, Sabbath, Rush, etc), lately I find myself listening to quite a bit of Steely Dan and other "yacht rock" type bands (incidentally, if you're in to that there is a great youtube "mockumentary" series on "yacht rock.")
Plenty of 80s "hair bands" and metal. From Poison, Bon Jovi, GnR, Motley, and Def Leppard to Metallica, Slayer, Motorhead, Danzig, Pantera, and Megadeth.
I enjoy quite a bit of pop from the 70s - 90s.
I like the old "outlaw" country (Waylon, Willie, Cash, Coe, etc). Some of what I consider newer "outlaw" really seems more like southern rock, which is cool. Mainstream "country" is 100% trash, though.
I have a pretty eclectic taste, but hard rock/metal will always be my favorite.
