I know at one time I posted my "music tastes", but see, those aren't fully correct. Now, I'm here to show you my full taste in music. Much more authentic and groovier. 
I'm just going to do this in parts, starting with genres (part 1), then the artists and songs (part 2).
Genres:
Acid Jazz (funk and soul-fused jazz, with a somewhat hip hop influence [scratching included]; arrived on the scene in the late 80's/early 90's)
Bossa Nova (sub-genre of samba; basically a softer, jazzier type of samba music; most of the time, an acoustic guitar is used and also the piano; really popular in Brazil, Italy, and Japan)
Classic Rock (For me, usually either the soft kind or some of the horn-influenced kind)
Disco (lots of different genres mixed in to get you on your feet ; Honestly, I can't explain it: you just gotta feel it to get into it)
Easy Listening (I don't see it as a genre but I do listen to music that's easy to listen to.
)
Funk (Again, it's somewhat hard to explain since you have to listen to it to really get into it; I like to think of it as the "bad-ass" version of soul)
Funk-Disco (Self-explanatory)
House (Modern-Day equivalent of disco; also combines different genres to make music to dance to; And as far as I know, not all house sounds the same)
J-Jazz (Japanese Jazz; most is Nu-jazz, really)
Jazz (exciting [or soft] music with quite a bit of swing and improvisation; blends really well with other genres of music)
Jazz-Fusion (arrived around the late-60's/early 70's; like the name, jazz fused with other kinds of music, mostly rock and blues; today's equivalent would be Acid Jazz)
Jazz-Funk (self-explanatory)
Lo-Fi (I wouldn't fully call it a genre; just an effect, IMO; anyways, it's intentional low-quality music)
Lounge (Not really a genre, either; Normally bossa or jazz that's easy to listen to and can really set the mood)
Neo-Soul (really just contemporary soul music; usually has a bit of funk, hip hop, house, or other musical influence)
Northern Soul
Nu-Jazz (electro-jazz)
Old School Hip Hop (first hip hop; arrived in the early 80's; mostly funk and disco with fast rapping; lyrics were mostly laid-back and just about having a good time; the cleanest music ever - seriously, as far as I know, there was pretty much no use of drugs by the artists or in the music
[or in the early 80's, at least ])
(early) Progressive Rock (creative rock music with some classical influence)
R&B (Not the MTV stuff you're thinking of)
Samba (popular music in Brazil with some African influence)
Sophisti-Pop (80's radio music with a bit of soul and jazz in it)
(Southern) Soul (Catchy gospel music with a funky melody)
Underground Hip Hop (Is to Mainstream Rap like Indie is to Mainstream Rock; actually has a message)
Video Game music (especially some of the retro games; And for newer games, Super Mario Galaxy and Mother 3 have great soundtracks)

Wow, my friend from Japan likes less Japanese genres than you . Bossa-Nova? What the fukc? There's something better called "Bossanova" that is an album, get it.

And when it comes to House Music, Daft Punk owns all.

I'm not criticizing your tastes. I'm just saying that Bossa-Nova is a funny name for a genre (you must have interpreted the WTF wrong), and I love a band called The Pixies who has an album called "Bossanova", and i thought that would be a good way to let you know about it.
And Japanese music is fine, I'm just saying.
And I have a friend who likes no music except random sh!t he finds, and one who listens to gangasta rap, but they're still my friends and i don't care.

Dee: Edit'd.
Burn: Don't sweat it. It's not like this is really the best site to find people with the same interests in music. I know other sites.

Listen to the second song on that list (all the way through, don't stop), I think you might like it. A lot of electronic, jazzy influences thrown in.

I'll check out pt 2. Most of that stuff I don't listen too, but a person has a right to listen to whatever they want.
