For many years I been listening to Metal - subgenre: Death Metal, Thrash Metal, & Viking/Folk Metal. The heavier the more complex the better. The band I listen to the most right now is Týr.
what genre(s) of music do you like? - Death Metal, Thrash Metal, Viking/Folk Metal
Do you prefer certain genres over others? - I listen to a lot Viking/Folk Metal the most, such as Ásmegin, Korpiklaani, Ensiferum, Metsatöll, Týr, Skámöld, Vintersorg
Is there a few songs that define a genre for you? If I where to mention a few:
Death Metal - "Hammer Smashed Face" by Cannibal Corpse, "God of Emptiness" by Morbid Angel
Thrash Metal - "Raining Blood" by Slayer, "Master of Puppets" by Metallica, "Sweating Bullets" by Megadeth
Viking/Folk - "Thorsteins Kvæði" by Týr, "Finnish Medley" by Ensiferum, "Sorg" by Skálmöld, "Til Rondefolkets Herskab" by Ásmegin, "Kotkapojad" by Metsatöll
before I forget - I tried listening to other genres of music, but they where to slow and boring for me - made me fall asleep, so I stayed with Hard Rock & Metal, needed something 'heavy' to wake me up
