It's very easy to start drifting into sub-genres and sub-sub-genres, but I would say that broadly speaking, I typically wouldn't put on religiously focused music except for classical pieces, and I typically wouldn't put on music that's super aggressive like some metal and some rap. I also generally don't have much urge to listen to experimental music of any genre. I like solid recognizable melody and harmony. I'm definitely good with sophisticated music, but it can't be just seemingly random notes and sounds.
There's tons of great music that fits that description. Here's just a small eclectic collection of bands whose music is easily accessible to stream and sample (sorry, no country+western).

There's so much garbage set to music and so many alternatives that there's no reason to settle.
