Nice to see Folk Metal getting a little love. I tend to go in phases, with metal (including many, but not all, of its myriad sub-genres) being the core, followed (in frequency of listening and size of collection) by various types of electronica.

Most recently, I've been on a bit of an industrial kick. Last few artists played (all of which have my less than official seal of approval):

Haujobb
Kevorkian Death Cycle
Plastic Assault
The Kovenant
Life Cried

Honorable mention goes to Dystrophy (death/thrash from New Brunswick, NJ), who just played their last show for a few months. I still have whiplash from that one. I'm thinking I may have to start a new thread for Dakkaites to pimp their favorite local bands and get the unsigned heroes' names out there. Give them a look, if you get the chance - they're not just the best of the locals, they're actually good.

In no particular order...

Smashing Pumpkins
Silverchair
Alice in Chains
New Order
The Smiths
Tiger Army
The Reverend Horton Heat
No More Kings
Iron Maiden
Black Sabbath
Led Zeppelin
Orphaned Land
Haifa Wehbe
Nightwish
Kamelot
AFI
Alkaline Trio

Neophyte
Angerfist

Does it have to be bands though? since most of the stuff i listen to is pretty much all just DJ's (hardcore, jumpstyle, hardstyle, speedcore, that kinda stuff).

I've far too many bands/music styles that enjoy to really have a favorite.

But a quick list would include.

Dead Kennedys
Toy Dolls
Ramones
Misfits
The Business
B.B King
Teddy Pendagrass
Carlos Santana
Dropkick Murphys
...and on and on....

Metallica
Escape the Fate
BFMV
Rise Against
Muse

and a few others

Iron Maiden
Queensryche
Iced Earth
Fear Factory
Soulfly (or anything Max does)
Otep
Nevermore
Pantera
