I'm the 4th guy (love screamo and post hardcore though) but people think "all over" means I don't pay attention when it's the opposite.

I get appreciation and love the music of Jack White as much as Mariah Carey. My playlists drive my friends and family wild.

I usually answer the question with questions to describe music I like that's in the same ballpark as them. My FIL loves CCR and Jimmy Buffett, but about as close as I can get to that is John Mellencamp. We then talk about Johny Cougar and have some good conversations. Sometimes they'll open up a step after that and we can talk about other stuff.
