This is a bit of cheat, because I've met you multiple times offline but... I know you participate in various forms of folk music, but do you enjoy any classical (in the broadest sense)?
Classical music mostly sends me to sleep. I don't dislike it, I just tend to tune out anything that doesn't have words.
The same thing applies to any form of music where I can't distinguish the lyrics.
I guess that's a bit part of the reason why I like folk and filk - the lyrics are to the front of the mix. Musicals work well in this regard too.
I dislike any form of music where the volume is too loud.
I did once buy 'The Lamentations of the Prophet Jerimiah' after hearing it on Desert Island Discs, but that's one of a very small number of classical items in my music collection. The others were bought in charity shops, but rarely got more than one listen.
