Hard to say. I've got everything from Leon Redbone to The Who, Metallica, Al DiMeola, Radiohead, Jean-luc Ponty, The Yardbirds, Free, Andy Williams, etc. etc. ad nauseum. For every person that's ever heard my collection, there's always something they love and something else they hate with a passion.
Where would I begin to pinpoint the biggest dichotomy? They're all great IMHO, so to me there is no dichotomy at all.

We have total overlap (for the fraction of your music collection you have mentioned) with the exception of Andy Williams. Where else do we overlap? Do you, like me, also have Charlie Parker, the Police, Tchaikovsky and a collection of celtic folk songs? I bet you do
Others have gone with hard/soft dichotomies so I'll try something different:
most urban: Public Enemy
most rural: Couer du Cajuns

Not yet. I did have some Charlie Parker, and did listen to Tchaikovsky when I was much younger, from my parents collection, so that probably counts. The Police? Not so much. Not sure why they just never really appealed to me. More than tolerable though, there's just far too many other artists I'd rather chase down and add.
How about these?
AC/DC
Alman Brothers
April Wine
Argent
Blue Oyster Cult
Blues Traveler
Boston
Collective Soul
Cream
Creed
Curved Air
David Gilmore's solo work
Deep Purple
Eddie Jobson
Eddie Money
Eddie Money
Fish (of course!)
Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush
Genesis (And the solo work of all but Phil Collins [yuck!])
Huddie Ledbetter (Ledbelly)
Humble Pie
Humble Pie
James Gang
James McMurtry
Jeff Beck
Joe Perry (solo work)
Joe Walsh
John Coltrane
King Crimson
Led Zeppelin
Little Feat
Living Colour
Lynyrd Skynyrd
Mahuvishna Orchestra
Marillion (Fish era)
Mike and the Mechanics
Mike Rutherford
Molly Hatchet (not caring so much for them anymore)
Muddy Waters
Pat Metheny and Lyle Mays
Point Blank
Rick Derringer
Robert Johnson
Robin Trower
Russ Ballard
Saga
Scorpions
Simple Minds
Spencer Davis Group
Spin Doctors
Steppenwolf
Steve Hackett
Steve Hillage
Steve Miller
Steve Winwood
Styx
Supertramp
Synergy
Ten Years After
The Box
The Firm
The Outlaws (the original band, not that Willie Nelson thing)
The Small Faces
The Sweet
The Tragically Hip
The Trews
Toto
UFO
Van Halen
Warren Zevon
Weather Report
Wishbone Ash
Most of these I have entire discographies for, a few are part of my unfilled wish list. Some I used to have, and need to replace. Good representation of what I choose to listen from about 1975 until now.
There's a lot more that were from my earliest days of listening (birth to around 15) that I haven't listed. I don't listen to them all that much anymore, but I won't get rid of them. That's where the Andy Williams came in. He did the first song I ever learned all the works to, from which I started learning song structures.
I've listened to and enjoyed a HELL of a lot more than this. Probably at least ten times this. If I were to list everything, two styles would stand out as noticeably missing. Country and Disco. Can't think of any others, but I'm sure there are some.
