Symphonic/Prog/Power Metal - Rhapsody of Fire, Blind Guardian, Sonata Arctica, Dimmu Borgir etc
Thrash - Metallica, Megadeth, Overkill etc as well as some edgier bands like Kreator, Sodom and Slayer.
Death metal - melodic death such as Children of Bodom, In Flames, Scar Symmetry and At the Gates
Hardcore - the good stuff from the 80's .... Black Flag, Misfits, Minor Threat, Dead Kennedys
Punk - original punk like the Clash, Ramones, Sex Pistols as well as some newer bands such as NOFX and Anti-Flag
At last, even if we're on different pages, someone whose taste in music I can appreciate
I'm getting into symphonic metal too ... I've been into NIghtwish for some time, Kamelot's "March Of Mephisto" (featuring Shagrath of Dimmu Borgir) is pretty cool and I like quite a bit of Epica.
I like a fair bit of late 70's punk but I never really got The Ramones ... I do like that one "hey Ho Let's Go" but that's because it features in the pilot episode of "Space Above And Beyond".
