"Intergalactic", by the Beastie Boys. I'm usually indifferent to rap at best, but I can't get enough of this song.
Of course, don't you know anything about ALCHEMY?!- Twin clones of Ivan the Great

Keith Urban's Golden Road. This can never get back to my family.

I don't have any folk metal bands on my iPod, but since I got a few in a compilation, I had to start listing the genre.
I also don't have much in the way of stoner rock, so I've started noting that genre since a few of those artists have come my way (again, though compilations).

The album De Vuelta al Barrio by Chichi Peralta. It's this great Dominican merengue-jazz-pop stuff. It's also very outside my usual frames of reference, since I don't listen to much Latin music except some norteño/mariachi stuff I grew up with.
Moronic, pretentious fan
16Bit's dubstep remix of Noisia's Machine Gun. Normally I despise dubstep for its overbearing sameiness, but when it's mixed in with other electronic styles like this the grittier moments are given more emphasis and everything feels more cohesive.
Because I choose to.
As much as this might be no fair because Skindred IS alt-metal after all... Well, this song doesn't match my style and still I get a really good vibe from it.

I have noticed that I have something of a pattern when it comes to Synth-Pop and/or electropop * that goes like this:
- Find electropop pop song
- Enjoy electropop pop song
- Decide I wish to hear more songs like this song
- Either hop to Pandora or borrow an album made by the same artist (usually with the song on question on it)
- OH GOD, KILL IT WITH FIRE!
- Swear off of artist, if not electropop in general
- Forget lesson and repeat sequence in its entirety
As a result, I actually have a fair number of synth/electropop songs that I enjoy, but can't say I enjoy the genre like I do prog rock or new wave.

^I believe synthpop is the overall genre, and electropop is the subgenre consisting of early synthpop artists like Kraftwerk and newer artists like Joy Electric who emulate early synthpop artists by specifically using vintage synths.
I like some older rap stuff, and some quirkier rap (Del the Funkee Homosapien), but I generally dislike rap.

Uhh, Manu Chao perhaps?
Not sure.
I tend to like what I like anyway.
Oh, maybe Gotye. He's like the anti-metal.
Laugh it off, everybody

Oh hell, just link to his page in your sig. 
It's easy, mmkay?
I have never before been into Russian folk songs translated into English.

I've found several Hip-Hop artists that I rather enjoy, but have never heard Hip-Hop on the radio that didn't make me wanna throw my stereo out the window.

I don't like metal, but I like some Judas Priest.

I'm pretty apathetic towards rap in general, but I do like Duane And Brando and Baba Brinkman.

To be fair, I think people are too rough on Dubstep, but it's ubiquity is rather annoying.

I don't usually like pop music with a lot of synthesizer, but I find myself attracted somehow to this song:

Maybe it's because the synth part is just so damn catchy.

(Insert Badass Descrption Here)
I absolutely can't stand all the popular pop/hip-hop/rap songs that are plauging the airwaves today (such as Ke$ha and Soulja Boy), but, I do like Lady Gaga for some reason.
Halifax-tan does not approve of that
Have you ever discovered that you love a song that is entirely outside of your normal group of your favorites? Post about it here?
I am now entirely addicted to the song "Flagpole Sitta" by Harvey Danger, even though I'm not really into its genre and have not heard anything else by the same artist.
At first I didn't realize I needed all this stuff...
