I'm pretty eclectic when it comes to musical tastes- I like most of the ones you have listed. But I selected
Classical (I also play the violin!),
Appalachian (anything with the hammered dulcimer is amazing),
Native American(Walela, Joanne Shenandoah, Sharon Burch),
Culture (Other),
and Other.
For Culture (Other) I would include Celtic music- of which I am HUGE fan- traditional Celtic and modern. (Loreena McKennitt, The Brobdingnagian Bards, The Corries)
For "Other" I would say Folk music (e.g. Bob Dylan, Emmylou Harris, Rufus Wainwright, etc.)

Stephanie, you and I have very similar interests in music. It must be the violin, you think? :)

Love the bee bop sounds of the fifties, simple songs, great harmonies.And Elvis lives on no matter how old we are.
Also a fan of motown and country....the country ballads...not too keen on the okey from miskousky type songs, but the ballads tell some great stories.
Im a romantic, so I love any love songs from any era, as long as i can understnd the words and sing along....and there is nothing like a song to make you remember a person, place, time, event or lover.

katie - I love the Beatles too. I was very young when they were current. I gues current is a good word. I was going to say popular, but they are still popular. But I do remember when many of their songs were new and ALWAYS playing on the radio. Elvis too!

I fell in love with Scott Joplin while I was a young piano student. It's still some of my favorite music.
Others: jazz (I would have just lumped all the different ages and genres together; I played jazz piano for a long time, and I love all of it for different reasons), Appalachian/bluegrass, Baroque (probably my favorite era of European music). And then add folk, blues, Celtic, African... And I listed "Classic Rock," because that's what I'm most likely to sing along to in the car.
Five choices weren't enough for me!

I too fell in love with Ragtime and Scott Joplin. I remember playing the Entertainer, The Pineapple Rag, The Palm Leaf Rag, and many others. They wer a lot of fun. To this day, I will still pull my Ragtime music out and play it every once in a while.
To be honest with you, 5 choices wasn't enough for me either. I would have included so many other kinds of music (I enjoy nearly everything). But I had to set the limit somewhere I guess. :)

I'm a sucker for the classics....but also like the some of the newer stuff like Good Charlotte and Simple Plan...
saucycobblers:
Oh boy, do I LOVE to D.I.S.C.O - proper 70s stuff, and for similar reasons I also love Latino music - it's the rhythm, baby!
For my mellower moments I love Beethoven - he's my favourite classical composer.
I love a bit of classic rock, also (Yes, Hendrix, Led Zep etc) 'cos that was what my older sis was listening to so it was always on in the house.
Finally, I'd have loved to put hip-hop (only the late 70s & early 80s really rhythmic stuff that came out of the disco era, when mainstream hip-hop actually had something to say apart from 'yo, sit on my face bitch' - ugh!), but...
...I put 'other' because an honourable mention has to go to the New Romantics (Duran Duran, Spandau Ballet et all) who were around when I was in my early teens and just starting to go out to parties and pubs. One of those records comes on and it always makes me smile :)
At the moment I'm listening to Elbow a lot...
