For people who dont like lyrics, they are genres of music out there that dont have singing or lyrics haha : p I also dont slike lyrics, but I like bands that use little to no lyrics : p
I couldnt really put a top 5 list here, cuz thats kinda a hard thing for me to do : p For me its not totally about the genre of the band, but theyre style and sound.
I love post rock, music that doesnt really fit that rule of a guitar making most of the sound, and a bass and drummer in the background and an over the top singer singing about whatever self important junk they came up with for the song haha : p Its really all about the melodies, and features many different instruments and sounds, and all around is more about the sounds youre hearing over the singer and a flashy guitar, its by far the best music I have heard so far.
Other than that, I just like music thats mellow and pretty, with flowing melodies that all fit together, with a moody sound that really pulls on your emotions WITHOUT the use of lyrics (I really hate it when people call up-beat music "sad" because of the lyrics : /) I like string and percussion instruments mostly, but I also really like electronica sounds, and if done right, I can really enjoy woodwinds and occasionally brass instruments. Oh and by percussion I dont just mean a drumset : p Im thinking like all kinds of drums, as well as cymbals and gongs and chimes and bells and all that, haha I <3 that stuff : p
