I love both "classical" and extreme music. My favourite early and baroque music, which I sometimes also perform in as a singer, is often necessarily sacred, like the Monteverdi vespers, cantatas by Buxtehude, Schütz, Bach, the St. Matthews passion, but also the great Mozart et al requiem, but later there are more large secular works like the Beethoven, Brahms and Bruckner (5+8!!!) Symphonies. I also love much early 20th century music (see avatar). The sheer complexity of construction of some bach fugues, or a schoenberg concerto, is mind boggling, even if I lack the education to appreciate them completely.
In extreme music, mostly dark, death and tech death metal.
Why? Good question. I listen to both for much the same reasons - it makes me feel good and it is interesting. It completes or helps induce a certain emotional state and outlook on life. It lets me have different thoughts, and it allows to have emotional-"spiritual" experiences which otherwise are inaccessible
