I tend to listen to happy fun music, but here's some of the angrier stuff I like:
Catch-22 (first album only)
Dead Kennedys
Guitar Wolf
Kicked in the Head
Metallica (old)
Minor Threat
Misfits
Operation Ivy
Raised Fist
Sex Pistols
Slapshot
Transplants

OK one comment from me... See for me, the thing about "Death Metal" is, if I can't understand the guy singing because he is growling into the mic in some idiotic "I like to think I am posessed by a demon" voice, or screaming so loud you can't understand what he's saying (and I don't mean occasionally, I mean for the WHOLE song), or the bass notes are so low and repetetive that it washes everything else in the song out, then I don't really consider that to be GOOD music, but that's just my opinion. Heavy, mucky, repetetive single note playing is NOT what makes something HARD METAL, in my opinion. As much as I am a huge fan of Metal/Classic Metal, I do like quite a few of the nu-metal and Death Metal bands out there, don't get me wrong, but it's getting harder and harder to separate the crap from the decent, innovative stuff. Out of Kiamat's list, I would pick out these for stuff I like: All Out War Kittie (RAWR) Atreyu Chimaira Devil Driver Hatebreed Obituary Lamb of God (damn good band) Meshuggah Napalm Death Sepultura Bolt Thrower I would toss in some: Korn (every diet needs some Korn!) Coal Chamber Mudvayne (they keep getting better IMHO) Skipknot Drowning Pool Lacuna Coil Shadows Fall Stratovarius Nightwish Iced Earth I like all those 'cept Stratovarius and Iced Earth. -Kiamat Dusk "What do you mean I'm not kind?

I have been thinking about this a lot lately and it's getting harder and harder to draw the line between all the genres... so, being as bored at work as I am today, I made up some kind of list to categorize cuz there are so many damn varieties/genres of rock/metal/punk out there now....
Here, I'll start off: I see it as 3 main "Branches" of "ROCK" : those being "Basic" Rock, Heavy Metal, and Punk Rock. Yes of course, some of the bands I list as examples can be cross-listed under various sub-genres, but I just put em in where I felt they fall best according to my own music tastes Nor do these examples necessarily represent my favorites in each genre!Classic Rock - Aerosmith, Led Zeppelin, CCR, Alice Cooper, Steppenwolf, Santana Psychadelic Rock - Jefferson Airplane, Cream, Jimi Hendrix "Basic" Rock (aka Rock N Roll) - Joan Jett & the Blackhearts, George Thorogood Hard Rock - Queens Of The Stone Age, Creed, Van Halen Southern Rock - Lynard Skynard, Alabama Modern Rock - Evanescence, Incubus, Nickelback, Breaking Benjamin, Papa Roach Pop Rock - Bon Jovi, Bryan Adams, Matchbox 20, Queen, Journey Grunge - Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Temple of the Dog Post-Grunge - Audioslave, Cake, Collective Soul, Fastball Emo - Dashboard Confessional, The Get Up Kids, Jimmy Eat World, Switchfoot Classic Heavy Metal - Ozzy Osbourne, Black Sabbath, Rainbow, AC/DC, Motorhead Heavy Metal - Soundgarden, Guns n Roses, Scorpions, Metallica, Megadeth, Metal Church Power Metal - Iron Maiden, Fate's Warning, Alice in Chains Glam/Hair Metal - Motley Crue, Def Leppard, Poison, Whitesnake, Faster Pussycat Prog/Progressive - Rush, Dream Theater, Queensryche, Kamelot, Lacuna Coil Space Rock - Godspeed You Black Emperor, The Verve, Stereolab Thrash/Speed Metal - Exodous, Anthrax, Overkill, Pantera, SOD, Testament, Nuclear Assault Hardcore - Agnostic Front, Kamikaze, Underoath Grind/Grindcore - Bolt Thrower, Napalm Death NuMetal - System of a Down, Korn, Disturbed, Kittie, Godsmack, Static-X Death Metal - Lamb of God, Decide, Cannibal Corpse, Children of Bodom Satanic Metal - Venom, Slayer, Celtic Frost, Dimmu Borgir, Cradle of Filth, Bathory, Morbid Angel Black Metal - Danzig, Emperor, Mayhem Doom Metal - My Dying Bride, November's Doom, Anathema Gothic Metal/Darkwave - HIM, The Cult, Christian Death, Inkubus Sukkubus Symphonic/Operatic - Nightwish, Stratovarius, Within Temptation, Therion Christian Rock - Stryper (GAGGGGG!) Christian Metal - Tourniquet, Guardian Totally Unclassifiable or Theatrical Rock - Primus, GWAR, Marilyn Manson, Lungworm, The Mars Volta Classic Punk - The Ramones, Iggy Pop & the Stooges, Sex Pistols, New York Dolls Punk Rock - Misfits, Dead Kennedys, Buzzcocks, Black Flag, Dead Milkmen, Murphy's Law Skate Punk - DRI, Suicidal Tendencies, Circle Jerks, Minor Threat, GBH, Screeching Weasel Goth Punk - Siouxie & the Banshees, The Cure, Sisters of Mercy, The Damned, Morrissey Modern Punk Rock - NOFX, Green Day, Blink 182, The Offspring Cross-Genre mixes: Rap/Rock - Kid Rock, Limp Bizkit, Everlast, ICP, Rage Against the Machine Ska - Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Voodoo Glow Skulls, Madness, The Specials Ska Punk/Rock - No Doubt Electro-Punk/Electroclash - Atari Teenage Riot, Mindless Self-Indulgence Industrial - Ministry, Nine Inch Nails Industrial Rock/Metal - Nailbomb, Pitch Shifter, Gravity Kills, Stabbing Westward, Type O Negative OK "Screw u guys, I'm goin home!"

Mostly right, Artillo, but a few objections.
1) Any band that uses a cow bell is a Hard Rock band. Period. That includes GnR. 2) Lamb of God is not a Death Metal band. Just look at the lyrics. Moreover, the music style isn't right. I defy you to show me where they use a single blast beat. hehe -Kiamat Dusk _____________________

I don't post much on these forums but this thread caught my eye...
I've always loved metal and have become even more of a metalhead in recent years. I like stuff all the way from the well-known classic stuff to the most obscure underground extremes, and many of the sub-genres. Some faves: Black Sabbath My Dying Bride Summoning Ulver High on Fire Sleep Enslaved Windir Wyrd In The Woods Weakling Blut Aus Nord Xasthur Agalloch Empyrium Runemagick Godflesh Opeth Celtic Frost Abigor Bal-Sagoth Shape of Despair Theatre of Tragedy Emperor Moonsorrow Arcturus Motorhead Kyuss I like some stuff from most of the metal sub-genres out there except for so-called nu-metal which doesn't do much for me. By the way - here's an online resource all metalheads / headbangers should know about: Encyclopedia Metallum: The Metal Archives. Great way to learn about bands, read reviews etc... Anyone have any "power metal" recommendations? That's a sub-genre I haven't delved into much... aside from Iron Maiden who seem to be pioneers of the form. I'll have to hang out in Transylvania sometime when I'm less of a hermit..  _____________________

Metalhead, yes, no question I am.
 Favorites: Slayer Metallica Megadeth Sepultura Death Carcass Slipknot Anything heavy and somewhat fast with at least some musical clarity is good by me. |

LOL http://www.geekspeakweekly.com/cowbell/ Well Kiamat, yer def. right about the LoG lyrics! Like I said, there's plenty of overlap in categoriez I just think they sound "deathy" Besides, there's always room for MORE COWBELL though! My damn cable was out most of the weekend but I did happen to catch VH1's "The Greatest: 100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock", which I thoroughly enjoyed. _____________________

Awesome thread! Good to see theres still alot of people out there that appreciate Iron Maiden. Myself I mostly enjoy their albums w. Bruce Dickinson and his operatic vocal stylings. I believe he actually sang Opera for some time before and during his time w. I.M.
I just wanted to drop a few old School metal groups that still have the edge to make them worth listening to even today: Pile Driver (Metal Inquisition) Metal Church (Self titled Album or The Dark) Testament (The Legacy and The New Order) Anthrax (Among the Living, Armed and Dangerous and Fistful of Metal) and for the grand finale... S.O.D. (Speak English or Die) ** Disclaimer. This album title does not reflect my views on the world so if you're looking for something to fuel your jump to the "look at me, Look at me" forum pulpit, keep looking. Adding any of these wonderful albums to your metal collection is certain to give you years of listening pleasure! Start at the bottom and work up if you plan to buy any of these. _____________________

I used to play the hell out of all my Anthrax cassette tapes in my car! LOL
and SOD - Speak English or Die OMG YES! My fave track off that: The Ballad of Jimi Hendrix "Broomp breemp brooomp breep brommp breep brooomp breep YER DEAD." Actually it's amazing how "Fuck the Middle East" is still such a timely song, and that album came out back in 1985!!!! Pussy-Whipped and Pre-Menstrual Princess Blues are great songs to play to piss off your girlfriend! Can you do.... the Milano Mosh? _____________________
