Progressive anything. I like elements of classical music in my rock. Thrice, Tool, Opeth, etc.

I've always liked hits that were progressive like death metal was twenty years ago.

Examples: "Surfing Bird" by the Trashmen, any song by Little Richard (my favourite lyrics by him is "you keep on knocking but you can't come in... maybe tomorrow you can try again" -this is repeated about 20 times in the song), and a big time favourite, "Loui, Loui", which is such a timeless classic as Beethoven's fifth... ta-ta-ta-taaa... ta-ta-ta-taaa is beethoven (the pre-historic first pioneer for death metal), and "taaa tatata... ta-taa tatata... ta-taa tatata... ta-taa tatata" is Loui Loui. Even the Monkees had a hit like that, "Randy Scouse Git", the meaning of which I have no clue of. Whatsoever.

These days I am into coutnry-RAP fusion.

And I was the only kid in the seventies that enjoyed both hard rock AND disco at the same time. True, I became schizophrenic and tried to kill myself in those days, quite an number of times, but hey, I loved music.

"If you allow this to happen, your children will be next." So true.

-----------

Edit:

If you think I'm bulling you with the Country-RAP fusion genre, then take note, that no, I am not. There are two songs so far on record that I know of in this genre: "Gangsta' Paradise" by Coolio and "F... It, F... You Hoe I Don't Want You Back (unedited)" by Eamon.

Almost forgot: Jazz-Blues-Latin-Rock fusion, of which there is only one band, Santana. They go back to the early sixites, and up to "Supernatural" they were the only group that still performed of the many that were superbands at the time.

Santana has been, very luckily for me, enormously prolific.

I like Santana. Others came and went, some are still remembered, but Santana came and stayed.

I know only one song that was made by another band to sound like theirs, by a band called "(forgot their name, God please forgive me)" and the song was called "Song for Junior".

Before ELP, Keith Emerson had a group called "The Nice", which performed the most amazing Classical / Rock / Jazz fusion, with foretones of Electronica. IN THE NINETEEN SIXTIES!!!

The song they grabbed me with at first was called "Hang On To A Dream", and it lasts 12 minutes, although it was the contemporary of bubble gum rock and the British Invasion.

That album will blow your head off. Purest improv jazz, with NO brass. I hate brass. Even saying the word "brass" gives me bad vibes. Ugh.

And let's not forget our very own, the unforgettable Mingle2 chick who had her breast removed. I forgot her name. Love2 something or other. She posted a video, in which guys got repeatedly kicked in the nuts by athletic girls, and I loved the song and the video. Our own Love2 something or other has this raspy and raw unbridled passion in her singing voice, but not as unattractive at all as Janice Joplin's voice.
