Don't mind as long as I kill people if hard core drum and 
bass/un-melodic Dubstep is the overall winner (i'm old and remember the 
days of uplifting trance as my major dance beat) - but I like just about 
everything that has a melody (except Country and Western).

I would do Karaoke, but I feel that if I say yes they will find my body 
strung next to yours on the streetlamps outside of the venue :). I would 
harken at likely way too cheesy.

Thanks for the shout-out for preferences :).
