We tend to be content with the period in our lives that we were most happy, experienced things that had an influence on us, defined us as it were.
Classic Country and Western, Marty Robins, Johnny Cash. Heck I even like Buck Owens.
I sometimes will watch 80's music videos and then the next thing I know it's 1 a.m. 
I HATE songs that repeat the same words over and over and over and over.
When I was a child it did not matter much but today I can't stand it.
My radio spends most of it's time on 98.9 FM.
Sorry.
Not what you expect from me I know.
Those screamo car commercials make me turn off the radio.

I'm a year older, but I long ago left those years of music behind. While I still like to hear some of them again, I mostly listen to accappella religious music and non religious music in the "New Age" genre, most of which is instrumental.

I do have eclectic taste in music. I like instrumentals (such as Acker Bilk's 'Stranger on the Shore,') and I like classical, too. I even enjoy opera. But my absolute favorite music is the 80's stuff that had a really hard 'downbeat,' and what was then known as a "b*tchin' bass" guitar! 
Examples would include CCR's 'Fortunate Son,' 'Well-Dressed Man' by ZZ Top, 'Simply Irresistible' by Robert Palmer, and even (despite the ridiculous video) 'Relax' by FrankieGoesToHollywood.

I range from Classical to Classic Rock to Grunge to Bluegrass.
I picked up a '60s earworm the other day and it's been difficult to get rid of it. The Seekers - I'll Never Find Another You
Several years ago i downloaded and 'ripped' a sh*t load of my favorite songs....mostly 60's, 70's and some country. I now have over 600 of my favorites on SD card that I have duplicated. There is one for my F150, one for my motorcycle MP3 player, one for the RV and one for the record player/radio/sd card, bluetooth unit in the dining room/kitchen in the house. Since all of these will play 'random' I never get tired of listening to them.
However if I want to mix it up a bit I bluetooth IHeart radio 60's to them.

My Brother just retired after a very successful career,,,
As a guitarist/teacher in Norman, Oklahoma.
He said the most difficult part was,,,
Listening to and learning the riffs for anything after after the mid-eighties.
He had to know the most recent music though,,,
It was necessary to stay relevant to his younger students.
He was born in 1958 and his music tastes are like my born in 1951 self,,,
Late 60's Zeppelin through early 80's hard rock,,,
Anything after Dire Straits is a waste.
He did manage to turn some of his students on to real guitar players,,,
Jimmy Page, Robin Trower, Lindsay Buckingham, Rory Gallagher, Mark Knoffler and such like.
He didn't "hate" any genre except for maybe the speed metal bands,,,
He didn't much like the "hair bands" of the late eighties either,,,
But his profession made him tolerant of all music genres.
And he absolutely refuses to play "Stairway to Heaven" ever again,,,
Unless it's to teach a new guitarist how to play it.
I'm of the opinion that what music one likes is "mostly" a product of environmental exposure,,,
Since the 20's, whatever was playing on the radio when you went through puberty,,,
Is the music that you will profess to love for the end of your life.
I firmly believe that my love for Classical music,,,
Came from the soundtracks to the cartoons I watched as a youth.
