What are songs/bands/artists/albums/compositions you like in genres you're not a fan of? You don't have to hate the genre--you could just be indifferent to it.

You'll find mostly prog, metal, classic rock, and classical in my library. I actively dislike much rap music, which couldn't be further removed from the music I love. I've heard some songs that aren't bad, but few I'm enthusiastic about.
The Tony Hawk games introduced me to a couple of my most frequently listened to genres (punk and metal), but I always turned off all of the rap music in the game after a couple of listens. This is the only one that survived the purge in Tony Hawk's Underground.

It incorporates Badinerie by J.S. Bach, one of his more popular pieces. Baroque in general, and Bach specifically, was in regular rotation on my CD player ten years ago when I first heard this, so that certainly helped, but the fast rapping was interesting. The flute is a nice touch--it's a beautiful instrument.
I have no idea what he's rapping about--props to him if it's not about sex, drugs, or being a thug, as those are other things that keep me away from much of the popular rap music--but it's very musical and plays well to my tastes. If all rap music sounded like this, I might actually own a single rap album!
