Well as you say to each his own.

Don't take offense...I never singled out any band, gave any names or anything I just described a typical type of band that many people associate with that of "heavy metal" or "metal" so to speak. I didn't name any bands that sound like that cause when I hear them I never even bother to remember their name. Yer kidding yourself if you think there aren't any bands like the ones I'm describing..I know I've heard them. You don't have to scream low, and raspy and go grrr to show aggression...screaming is fine but at least make it understandable. I mean I'd hate to think that these people just can't sing normally and have to scream like that because they can do nothing else...I'm sure thats just not the case. I've never heard the bands you speak of mainly because everytime I try to watch a metal program 90% of it is the guys I'm talking about and I can't listen to it long enough to see if it truely does have any musical qualities. And a lot of these guys don't necessarily sound angry either they sound like they're trying to sound angry but there isn't really any anger in their voice. Hearing Zack De la Rocha screaming "FREEDOM!" now THATS angry...hearing David Gilmour play his guitar solo on "Sorrow" THATS heavy, emotional, and angry. I'm sure the guys you listed can sing much better than the likes of Robert Plant and Geddy Lee...if they don't scream like I described then I'd love to hear them and I'd like to know where I could hear them...I can always appreciate a good voice of any style but most of these guys you can't tell one from the other..and not in an acceptable way. Roger Glover of Deep Purple described it pretty well when he said "I always thought heavy meant playing the same stuff but louder...and then I saw Led Zepplin and it was then I realized heavy is not a sound...heavy is an attitude." No offense...I'm just sure you'd like a reasonable explanation as to why some people like me just don't care for most of it.
Asta!!
