You have a good list of Hip-hop, Hexpane. I prefer what would now be called "Old Skool" but the gang-era, the transition from hip-hop to rap, offered a few gems in the genre as well.
Other. I couldn't pick a particular genre if I tried. Although I am less fond of folk and opera, not exactly a fan of line dancing or song lyrics in foreign languages.
Never understood the confusion of hip hop as a genre of music. Its the culture that hip hop refers to. But that's beside the point. Rap was the first genre of music I ever listened to and its been my favorite from the start.

QFT. Face it or not, the rap you see on the TV is the same genre of rap from the 90's, just crapified. And I like everything, but rap will always be my favorite love child.
The Arcade Fire Built to Spill Weezer Radiohead The Smashing Pumpkins
Progressive Rock:
Pink Floyd The Mars Volta
Post-Rock:
Explosions in the Sky Godspeed You! Black Emperor Sigur Ros
Hardcore Punk
At the Drive-In Fugazi Refused
I pretty much love the whole genre."
That's a list I can get behind. Although I'm not a huge floyd fan they have a few tunes I can groove on baby. I'd have to throw Rush in the prog rock list, Rock band has made me a fan of a band I've ignored for decades
I have stuff in my iTunes from just about every genre here minus Latin. I'm at that stage in my life where just about anything I hear with good rythym that isn't totally terrible I like and want to listen to more of.
I don't limit my self to one genre of music.... I love Metal (Opeth, Mastodon, Megadeth, Meshuggah, Dream Theater etc..), Punk, Grunge, Industrial (NIN) ..basically all kinds of Rock except Pop (Fallout Boy etc.). Some 90's Hip-hop and Reggae, Classical, Electronic .. just about everything that sounds good to my ears.
Classic Rock, Hard Rock, Metal, Heavy Metal, Thrash Metal, Alternative Rock, Grunge, Stoner Rock, Doom Metal, Drone, Post-Rock, Experimental, Industrial, some Noise.
Uh, I don't really like the idea of confining myself to a specific genre, but I guess you could say my favorites are. Prog Rock, Hard Rock, 90's grunge/rock Soundgarden, Rage Against the Machine etc. Jazz Fusion and Regular Jazz. And for thinking that jazz and blues can be lumped into the same group you deserve a smack in the face, they are two completly different things.
Rock in general, but if I have to be specific, mainly indie rock mixed with alternative, some electronica, a dash of new prog, a splash of pop and Britpop, a smidgen of shoegaze, and a hint of ambient lo-fi dance-punk.
