If pressed to pick a favorite genre, I generally go with jazz. While I love tons of music from a wide range of genres, Jazz is the one that if you grab an album at random, I'm almost guaranteed to like or even love it. Hits are almost assured, misses almost nonexistent. Getz/Gilberto is one of the most beloved and most acclaimed jazz albums of all times. And an ultra-rare miss for me. I have a copy, listened to it twice, and it's sat on the shelf ever since.
