Some of these styles are way more represented in my listening than others. The metal, progressive, and avant-garde genres are probably the most frequent, probably followed by alternative, grunge, and '60s/'70s rock. That said, by far the most played artist on my Last.fm charts is post-rock (GY!BE).
