Oh, fuck. You couldn't have picked a harder question. I'm going to have to come back to this later, but I can pick a few now.
Classical - Bach, Mozart, Beethoven and Tchaikovsky
Punkish stuff- Clutch, Misfits
Metal - Cradle of Filth, Killswitch, Slipknot, etc.
Blues/ Soul/ Jazz- Otis Redding, The Doors (blues/rock, whatever), Ella Fitzgerald, Muddy Waters, etc.

Metal, ambient, electronic, experimental, progressive.
I like really heavy stuff and really soft ambient stuff... and I love quite a bit of electronica, but like with all genres, I find most stuff to be crap - I'm very eclectic.
My favourite band is the elecronica band Orbital. I also like Underworld, some Leftfield, some Kraftwerk, Moby, Royksopp, Massive Attack.
I really like Tool, some Metalica that I've heard, some Dream Theatre that I've heard.
I also like alternative rock such as Muse and Radiohead (but alternative rock wasn't up there so I didn't just select rock because I'm not a fan of rock as a whole - I find it samey).
I love ambient electronic music and there's plenty of that mixed along the electronica I like mentioned above. I like progressive electronica and progressive mental - but I don't like any specific genre 100% as I find 90% of stuff from any genre unlikeable personally. I'm very specific.
I'll like any genre potentially if I like the artist/album/song..... but that doesn't tend to happen for me with genres such as rap/hiphop (I don't mind rapping when it's mixed amongst bans that I like as much as massive attack though) and country music etc.
Ok, here's 1 song from each of the band's mentioned above (under hide tags):

Nice  What bands would sum up that sound?
Oh... umm... I didn't mean that all of those things combine to make a single 'sound'. Heheh. Those are my favorite genres of music.
Blues: Buddy Guy, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, B.B. King, etc.
Rock: Shinedown, Saliva, Clutch, etc.
Metal: Iced Earth, Metallica, Judas Priest, etc.
Folk: Jim Croce, Joan Baez, Gordon Lightfoot, etc.
Progressive: Dream Theater, Porcupine Tree, Shadow Gallery, etc.
One thing that wasn't on the list was Classic Rock. The music of the 60's and 70's was some of the best music ever created and I really wish popular music would return to the full, rich, and unique sounds of that time. There are styles of music that I don't like, of course, but I love music in general... as evidenced by the 3500 songs in my mp3 player.

I don't have a favorite band that fits ALL these categories. But I'm a huge fan of Radiohead/Thom York, Bjork, and The Pixies. And they have albums that would fit into most of these categories. Radiohead especially; they put me in a special place. The Pixies are just plain kick ass!!!

Bjork's singing is always so weird to me, no matter what language it's sung in. No offense to anyone, but she honestly sounds like she was raised as a deaf / mute person trying to sing. She sounds exactly like this.
I like the way you think!
...But please stop thinking, it's not you.

She sings weirdly, but well. I'm listening to her now in fact, singing along with Plaid, Plaid being one of my favourite music artists.

Bjork isn't for everybody, that's for sure. Joanna Newsom is another one of those:

I like Nu Metal, Alternative Rock and Classical music.
