Shit from the 80s to mid 90s. Metal died to me in 95 when even death metal started getting commercial (I'm looking directly at you Six Feet Under). I preferred to listen to Tampa based bands usually on the Roadrunner label during the early-mid 90s (those bands regularly played clubs in my podunk town).
I'll listen to most genres from the times, classic metal (Deep Purple, Dio), new wave of british heavy metal (Priest, Maiden) , thrash/speed metal (Slayer, Antrax) , hair metal (Skid R...meh who am I kidding I love all that shit no matter how cheesy especially through nostalgiavision), new wave of US heavy metal (Pantera, Machine Head), death metal (Obituary, Cannibal Corpse, Suffocation, Death), industrial metal (Ministry, Fear Factory). I like some regular heavy metal also like Sepultura and King Diamond (haters are gonna hate). There is also a specific Arcturus album I'm really keen on, The Sham Mirrors, not really like their other stuff so I didnt bother to classify it. Nu-Metal I wasn't much of a fan of until Metalcore unseated it on popular metal, a few of the early 00s bands sound decent in 2010 (the Metallica Factor, every new album makes the last one sound better). Some of the new Viking Metal I catch on Youtube (Blank TV, I think it is)is pretty good.
My favorite albums consist of King Diamond's Abigail, Obituary's Cause of Death, Pantera's Cowboys From Hell, Slayer's Reign in Blood, Machine Head's Burn My Eyes and Arcturus's The Sham Mirrors. My favorite guitarist is James Murphy, he's been in many death/heavy metal bands from the Tampa, Florida area like Obituary, Death, Testament. He's got a definite style that's almost immediately recognizable.
I hate metalcore, its a complete degradation of vocal talent of the past 30 years of metal.
I dislike Ozzy only due to him being an idiot on TV.

Death metal, industrial metal, nu-metal, thrash metal, black metal, vegetarian progressive grindcore, you name it. Although my personal favorite is melodic death.
I've been getting away from strict metal lately and venturing into some post rock / blackened post stuff lately.
Nahh.. Metal is just a bunch of hary dudes screaming about death while everyone plays really fast and downtuned.
I'm kidding.. Sort of...
Anyways, I like a bit of Metal, although a fair bit of it is far too silly for my tastes.
I pretty much stick to Opeth, Tool and Dream Theater.

Summer Slaughter looks to be awesome this year. And you wouldn't happen to live in the Atlanta area, would you...?Macheteswordgun said:
OT: I listen to a lot of Stoner and Sludge Metal, as well as some Death Metal and some Djentish stuff.
Wow. That's pretty bad. Ever since A7X decided their main fanbase was 14 year old girls they've been pretty shitty. I'm gonna Youtube this though.GamesB2 said:

Eh, not many metal acts strike my fancy, but I do like Dethklok's music. And Mudvayne's L.D. 50.
And, also, TOOL.
Other than that, it's pretty "meh" overall to me.
ed- I did strike a fancy with a couple of the old Nu-metal and industrial metal acts a while back. Namely, Korn and Stabbing Westward, but those were rather short-lived flights of fancy.
ed2- on the subject of Dethklok- they put on a free "concert" at my uni campus with And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead, which ended up with Trail of Dead whinging about how everyone loved Dethklok more, and they weren't real metal, and everyone was stupid for that. Kinda funny, when you think about it.
