I'm a big fan of Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band. I have spent lots of time listening to Frank Zappa and various jazzists such as Rahsaan Roland Kirk, Sun Ra, Don Cherry, Ornette Coleman, Charles Mingus, John Coltrane and Anthony Braxton.
The past two years or so I've been getting into a lot of hip hop as well, first and foremost A Tribe Called Quest but also some Wu-Tang Clan, MF Doom, Das Racist, Black Moon and some instrumental stuff like J Dilla.
What first started out when I was like ten years old listening to stuff like 10cc, Queen, Supertramp etc. has changed some.
I try to listen as much classical music as possible as well, right now I'm trying to listen to some early sacred music, gregorian chants and such like Palestrina but even earlier composers such as Perotin and Leonin interests me greatly. Also the "avant garde" or at least modern composers of the 2000th century like Béla Bartók, György Ligeti, Anton Webern and more romanting stuff like Rachmaninoff, Prokofiev and Scriabin.
seconded.
except for Supertramp (always wanted to call a band Supertrump)
someone mentioned Discordance Axis - neat!
others: Mahler's bombastic-as-shit symphonies, Alberto Ginesterra and Enrique Granados, (especially played by pianist Alica de Laroccha), Bruckner, Sibelius, King Crimson (especially '72 - '74 and '81 - '84), Flipper, No Less, Eric Dolphy, Thelonious Monk, McCoy Tyner, Jimmy Cliff, Pig Destroyer, Origin, Aphix Twin, Autechre, Beatles.
playing drums in crazy fucked-up bands over the last 20 years, currently in a reunited Soy and released this a couple months ago > http://sooooy.bandcamp.com/album/threelayer
first time I've done a recording without any cd or vinyl endproduct - just cyber the shit for free - fuck it.
my listening has been mainly of the deathgrind variety for quite some time now.
yeah, right on - Kool Kieth in the house......."green shit is on your YEL-LOWS!" "is he weird?"(echo)

Re: Music
My alltime favorite albums:
Arcade Fire - Funeral
Atheist - Unquestionable Presence
Discordance Axis - The Inalienable Dreamless
Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven
Charles Mingus - The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady
But those albums just give a little insight in my music taste. I like some experimental stuff too (Keiji Haino for example) and since three years I'm really into electronic dance music, especially Techno. Sandwell District is the name I have to drop here.

Re: Music
One of the best recommendation methods I've found is to google two disparate things you really, really like. So, it could be a novel and a movie; personal, long lasting things. It's like googlewhacking yourself. The results for me have been uncanny and, at times, frightening.
Doing this will get you to blog profiles, myspace pages, etc. where similar people will have shared their favourite music, film, literature, etc. Remember to try a couple of different search engines.
Mine: "Billie Holiday" "Spirit of the Beehive"
First result is a black female version of me. Second result is a really cool japanese girl and video artist who sadly died of breast cancer last year.
Looking for people was a strange and emotional and perhaps mentally unhealthy experience. Warned.
Video art by yuko sueta.
OK clicking on that vid from her profile page spells out paul in the url, and it's freaking me the fuck out.
I like torch songs, unsettling soundscapes/avant-garde/musique concrète, acoustic ecology, baroque, romantic, folk/traditional throughout the world, Hindustani classical, chillout, minimalism, tango, most jazz genres (without electric bass), roots blues.
I enjoy singing jazz, playing curious Satie/baroque counterpoint infused piano music ('though things get a little Charles Ives at times), and nothing more than making dissociative music with found objects.
