Do liberals and progressives like rock, country or rap music?

56. Professional music critic here so I do come close to listening to damn near everything

Can't stand much modern pop, country, or Contemporary Christian, especially if it involves autotuning, but I can enjoy Justin Timberlake and Miranda Lambert at times. Progressive rock is my probably my favorite genre, but I enjoy the Sex Pistols as much as I enjoy Pink Floyd, just for different reasons. They each stir my soul in some way. I'm currently listening to Phil Manzanera, before that I had Diamond Head on, before that the Monks, and before that Joy Division. And there are very few people I will outright boycott - usually those who promote racism or homophobia - Won't listen to most dancehall because of that - but I freely admit to listening to Ted Nugents albums from 1975 to 1978 or so - I enjoy the music even if I cringe every time he opens his mouth. His idiocy doesn't make Stranglehold a bad song - but when I write about him, I'll praise Stranglehold as much as I criticize him for supporting Gov. Brewer or Sheriff Joe (yes, I sat through one of his concerts recently and lived to write about it). As many artists that I love are conservative as are liberal - ironically progressive rock seems to be a bit of a breeding ground for conservative Christian musicians - not sure why. But that doesn't make their music less good - I can even listen to some of the more preachy Christian music if it is well written and performed - admittedly not a lot though!
