the way i see it, there are 3 categories in metal:
1) heavy/intense/crazy with no vocal melody, usually has STRONG focus on musicianship (gets respect)
2) slightly less heavy/intense/crazy with some vocal melody (sometimes gets respect)
3) rodney dangerfield metal
i listen to all 3 and it's nice to see that not everyone needs to hate on metal that isn't quite as metal as, say, Death. anyway i listen to:
1) Old In Flames - Lamb of God - The Haunted - Shadows Fall - Opeth - Old Metallica - Megadeth - The Black Dahlia Murder - Pantera
2) Killswitch Engage - All That Remains - Chiamara - Mastadon - Unearth - New In Flames - New Metallica - Tool
3) System of a Down - Disturbed - Mudvayne - Sevendust - Slipknot
