I was 2/3 of the way through the thread, and I was starting to hope that nobody had said Dragonforce, but I guess you can't mention metal anymore without someone bringing them up.
A lot of what I like has been said, but the big metal and hardcore ones I'd recommend are Death, The Acacia Strain, Lamb of God, In Flames, Dark Tranquillity, Mayhem, Gorgoroth, Suffocation, Deicide, the old thrash classics like Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax, and Kreator, Unearth, Chimaira, Symphony X, Yngvie Malmsteen, and I'll come up with more later.
