I don't follow it as a rule or anything but all the AMVs I've made are post-1950 instrumental character pieces. Which is kinda wierd since I don't particularly prefer that music. I guess it just fits my style of AMV...

I guess that is pretty different, since every time I enter a video the music's composer has not even been entered yet...

My studio's slogan isn't "¥en For €uro" (abbreviated as "¥4€") for nothing.

1st preferance is novelty / comedy. If it makes me laugh it has a chance.

2nd - upbeat / peppy songs. One of my early videos was set to 'Scotty dosen't know' from the Eurotrip soundtrack, sort of a punk number but it has a heck of a beat. My next project is also a pop tune that is not intentionally funny, but again has catchy lyrics.

I use good music

Why artificially limit yourself?

I use noises and silence

Oh man. I use such a variety of music styles. I tend not to make AMVs based on what musical styles I like but on what music fits an anime. A lot of times I have been introduced to a song through the making of one of my AMVs, like with my new Slayers video.
I have noted, however that:
I have used DDR songs twice
I've used fantasy rock quite a bit (like Nightwish, Luca Turilli)
I've used two South Park songs
I've used both versions of Trogdor.

I guess when it comes to both music and anime I'm a "variety is the spice of life" kind of AMVer.

When i make an AMV it's because i was listening to a song that reminded me of an anime, and i generally don't listen to songs i don't like...

i use songs that are too cool for you, and thats why i havent gotten the good reviews i deserve

generally i use rock because its got a heavy beat and its easier to time and stuff, thats not WHY i use it its just one of the ups

I have an absolute monster love for songs used in trailers and previews (e.g., ES Posthumus). Basically, if it sounds like it could be the theme song to the end of the world, I'd like it.

The only musical styles I don't like are R&B and Alternative.
