What genre appeals to you most? How is the role of the DJ changing?

What genre appeals to you most? I like all genres of music, but my favorite would be "oldies" and hip-hop. I like oldies because when I was little I would always listen to whatever my father would listen to and his taste in “oldies” just stuck with me. I also like hip-hop because I in a way grew up with hip hop. Hip-hop was born in the late 80’s early 90’s and so was I. How is the role of the DJ changing? I think that we are shifting to less DJ talk and more music. Not everyone (myself included) wants to hear someone blab on about artists and songs; we want to hear the artists and the songs. With that said people still like to hear a little background information about the artist/song before they listen to it.
