I once knew where to find the notes on a (left-handed) guitar, but I wouldn't say I could play it. So I'm gonna have to stick with the recorder.

Too many to name, suffice to say it's a rather varied list.

Haven't really been to any, I'm afraid. I really should. Well, unless you count some classical music recitals throughout the years.

See above.

The names wouldn't mean anything to you, but lately I tend to prefer stations that mostly have 70s and 80s music in their playlists.

Again too many to name - I listen a lot to progressive rock and some kinds of heavy metal, but I also love some artists of classic rock and even pure pop (the Pet Shop Boys come to mind), as well as other genres.

I like a number of rap/hip-hop songs, but not that many, and much of the R&B on the airwaves these days is rather crappy as well. One never really hears country in Europe unless one goes looking for it, so I really haven't heard enough of that to say.
