I'm just going to really list the bands that have been used heavily in my current rotation

- BAND-MAID
Who knew Hard Rock could be this cute? In all seriousness they are the best "modern" Hard Rock band in my opinion  that I have come across. Recommendations: ORDER, DOMINATION, DICE, MANNERS, WARNING!!!. even if you don't like listening to foreign languages check out The Dragon Cries, or their instrumental songs Don't be Long, and Onset

- Soilwork
Melodic Death Metal. Recommendations: Stålfågel, Death Diviner, Stabbing the Drama, Desperado

- Spiritual Beggars
Stoner Metal. This band can get broken down by who's the Singer as all 3 have a style that's distinct to them. I perfer Spice and JB to Apollo But that's mainly due to perfering Apollo's other work.
Recommendations: Wise as a Serpent, Diamonds Under Pressure, Killing Time, Black Feathers, As Pera Ad Astra, Nowhere to go

- Clutch
Recommendations: In Walks Barbarella, A Quick Death in Texas, 10001110101, Willie Nelson, Promoter... You know what just throw a dart at the wall and play whatever comes up

- The Ramones
Punk Rock. Do I really need to explain this one? Recommendations: the KKK Took My Baby Away, R.A.M.O.N.E.S., I'm Against it, Now I want to sniff some Glue

- Foreigner
You know what, no I'm not writing anything about this one. Not even Recommendations

- Lucifer
Occult Rock. Johanna Sadonis is likely my favorite Female singer (if not her it's Simone from Epica) if you like the sound of Classic Rock/Metal but want something new give them a try. Recommendations: Bring me his Head, Flanked by Snakes, Reaper on your Heels, Ghosts

- Overkill
Thrash Metal at Its best. Still making music to this day and it's been constantly getting better and better  especially since Iornbound. Recommendations: Welcome to the Garden State, Drunken Wisdom, Armorist, Give a Little, Bitter Pill

- Symphony X
Progessive/Symphonic Metal. I'd say Russell Allen is my favorite Male vocalist. Recommendation: The Odyssey

- Gus G
Dream Evil, Mystic Prophecy, Firewind and his Solo albums have been in my rotation for quite a long while now.
Recommendations:
Dream Evil: HMJ, No Way
Mystic Prophecy: Sign of the Cross, Dark Side of the Moon
Firewind: the Silent Code, World on Fire, Ode to Leonidas
Solo: Summer Days, What lies Below, Mr. Mason, Letting Go

Could I have named a bunch of bands everyone knows? Yes. While I named a couple I didn't want to write anythimg about them. So... F*ck it. How do you find new stuff if you keep naming the things everyone else does time after time?

10. Buckethead
He would probably be higher on the list if he didn't release so much trash, haha. That said, his best work is absolutely amazing.

9. Origin
Chaotic grindfest at its best. If you like grindcore, check out the album Informis Infinitas Inhumanitas.

8. Oh Laura
A small Swedish indie band who only released one album, but the singer Frida Öhrn turns everything she touches into gold.

7. Arch Enemy
Pre-Angela Gossow, its just raw death metal hitting you in the face like a freight train.

6. Slipknot
Probably just a lot of nostalgia, but their three first albums with their rawness gets me every time.

5. Primus (anything with Les Claypool)
Les' bass playing and unique sound was the reason I got interested in the bass to begin with and my playstyle is heavily influenced by him.

4. Dark Tranquility
Everything up to Damage Done is pure gold. The albums after that are still good, but there is something special about their earlier albums. The Gallery is one of the best albums ever made.

3. Nobuo Uematsu
Hands down my favorite game composer. The OST for FFVIII is an absolute masterpiece.

2. Opeth
It doesn't really matter what they are going to play, its going to be an experience. While most people regard Blackwater Park as their magnum opus, Still Life the one that ranks the highest for me.

1. Metallica
I live and breathe this band. Death Magnetic is kind of meh, but the rest of their albums I love to death, even St. Anger.

soera:
My taste is kinda weird. But that doesnt just describe my music tastes.   :o

Anyhow, my number one has been and will always be Celine Dion. Her voice is magic.

My favorite rock/metal band is Sevendust.

My favorite pop/rapper is Eminem.

My favorite country singer is ... no one. Its garbage.  :-X

Bluemoon:
My music taste is a weird confusing mess,
so in some vague order: (starting with my favourites)
Arctic Monkeys, Kasabian, Lemon Demon, I don't know how but they found me, the sherlocks, Oasis, the KLF, the Jam, orphan boy, elbow

bikingjahuty:

3. Curve
4. Republica

7. Tears for Fears
8. Deadsy
