Personally I think there are four or five basic types of music common 
out there right now.

Hardcore Dance music which is made exclusivley for dancing, i.e. hard 
house, drum & bass etc...

Hardcore instrumental music which is made primarily for listening 
quietly, concentrating, appreciating fully etc... Most classical music, 
some modern folk instrumental, intrumental metal, dream theater, Jo 
Satirani, Eric Johnson, classical guitar pieces and the like.

Semi-dance music. Basically pop music with dance overtones or dance 
remixes of pop, disco, and other lyrical dance music

Music that has lyrics primarily to help you remember the music. Most 
metal, hard rock, rock, and pop are in this vein wether the artist 
realizes it or not. 

Lyrics set to music to help you remember the lyrics. Anything that Bob 
Dylan ever wrote for example along with most of the doors, leonard 
cohen etc... Basically most modern folk. 0h and geek rock too. I mean 
lets face it, One Week is a very cool 4 minute story/joke set to music 
(as is everything the barenakedladies ever did)
