My family and I were discussing the different personalities of the crew and thought how music identifies a person somewhat.
So, who do you think say, Book would listen to... Maybe the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir, but I'd bet he's a closet Billy Joel fan. Maybe Mal would like ZZ Top.

Book?? No, Book would be a straight John Coltrane man . Especially "A Love Supreme"-an album of the gretest jazz ever dedicated to God.
Simon - Very Classical
Kaylee - Southern Rock . Skynard, Alabama
Wash - 80's alternative U2, REM, Tears for Fears
Zoe - Soul, The Commitments, Billie Holiday, Etta James, Natalie Cole
Mal - Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan, Possibly Garth Brooks
River - Classical & a guilty appreciation for the Beatles & Simon & Garfunkel
Jayne - Zepplin, Doors, Def Leppard, Styx, Bon-Jovi - Especially the YOung Guns 2 soundtrack
Inara - Asian Opera, Salsa, Willie & Lobo, Sting, Sarah Maclahan (sp), Dido (she likes the video for White Flag with David Boareanz)
Just my thoughts

Wash-Beach Boys
Jayne-a closet Judds fan. He only listens to them in his bunk so nobody can see him tearing up at Love Will Build a Bridge.
Simon-Classical, especially Mahler and Beethoven, more to this boy than meets the eye.
River-Philip Glass

I see River listening to Mozart, Bach, Scarlatti - lots of intricate harmonies, mathematical precision - and analyzing the heck out of it.

Personally, I think Simon lets loose once in a while in private, and rocks out to Van Halen, Aerosmith, and a touch of Slayer.
Mal is a definite Joe Satriani and Carlos Santana fan.
River goes back and forth between Wagner/Beethoven/Mozart, and insane techno house music.
Kaylee's a Kid Rock fan, with a secret Backstreet Boys crush.
Book has a shelf filled with very esoteric stuff--Mongolian Duotone throat singing, Japanese koto, etc.
Wash is a Skynyrd, Allman, and Doobie fan.
Zoe doesn't relax long enough to listen to music, I think she prefers gunshot recording.
Inara has quiet stuff, like Enya and her ilk.
Jayne likes anything, as long as it's loud.

Shouldn´t Kaylee (stereotypically) be listening to 70´s Flowerpower-"Feel good"-music?
Wash might favour the "Top Gun" soundtrack.

my opinions:
Inara: like continental indian music
mal: Joe satriani and other instrumental stuff, although he has a secret passion for some country and western.
River: Muse, The coral, weirdy "different" music.
Wash: Kula Shaker and hippee music.
Jayne: Creed and Alter Bridge - heavy music.
Zoe: Country and Western with some rock mixed in.
Book: Johnny Cash and Elvis.
Simon: Classical.
Kaylee: Kula Shaker, Feeder, The BEATLES and other hippee stuff.

River: Björk, Tori Amos
Simon: Spin Doctors, Dr. Alban, Die Ärzte (German Band, the name means "The Doctors")

Mal: Country, mostly. I'm thinking the classics, like Hank Williams (Sr., not Jr.), and Johnny Cash. I'm also thinking classic punk, especially The Clash.
Zoe: This would be kind of hard, you don't see as much into her character as you do the others. But in any case, I'm thinking sixties and seventies soul, like Otis Redding and Al Green. Definitely some strong female influences, like Nina Simone, Koko Taylor, or Etta James. Perhaps some newer artists, like Me'shell NdegeOcello, Erykah Badu, or Jill Scott.
Wash: Since Wash is more than a little off the beaten path, there are two obvious ways to go. One would be new wave, maybe Squeeze. But what I'm definitely thinking is funk. Particularly Parliament Funkadelic and The Ohio Players. Maybe even throw in some rap. I can definitely see Wash jamming to Tupac in the cockpit.
Jayne: A lot similar to Mal, only with some metal and classic rock thrown in, like Rob Zombie and Led Zeppelin. Maybe some southern rock like Lynyrd Skynyrd. And definitely Kid Rock. Fits his persona.
Kaylee: Even though pop queens and boy bands would be the obvious choice, I'm thinking maybe bands like Fall Out Boy, All-American Rejects, or Simple Plan.
Simon: If he has any musical taste at all, it would probably be classical. Still, being with Kaylee, there might be some hope for him.
Inara: I'm thinking Inara would be big on world music, African or Indian, perhaps. Maybe some Tori Amos, Alanis Morrisette, or Fiona Apple for when she's pissed at Mal.
Book: The obvious choice here would be gospel, though there are some really good gospel singers, like Mahalia Jackson or Marion Williams. But I'm also thinking Book likes to cut loose a little, so I go with the blues, particularly Johnny Lee Hooker or Son House. Maybe some jazz as well, like Miles Davis, since Book seems to be a refined man.
River: She may have been raised with classical, but I'm thinking River is a hardcore techno freak. BT, The Crystal Method, and definitely Fischerspooner.
At last.
We can retire and give up
this life of crime.
