...And this topic has been abandoned.

Well, my tastes are pretty varied, but I lean heavily on Metal. My favorites are Symphonic, Gothic, and Power Metal, but I also love Death, Folk, Thrash, a little Black, Doom, and, well, pretty much every genre of Metal. :P The only thing I avoid is the deepest reaches of Death and Black Metal - Nile marks the end of my limits. Oh, and Industrial metal. I HATE Rammstein.

But I also LOVE Celtic folk music. The melodies are just so appealing to me!

I also like a lot of Finnish pop bands. Indica and Popeda, mostly. Also in the pop genre: I'm ridiculously guilty to admit that I love 80's pop. It's just so addictive!

I have WAY too many bands I love to list them, but for a few favorites:

Nightwish
Sonata Arctica
Norther
Edguy
Korpiklaani
