Yeah, I’m curious. Since we’ve got so many newbies here, I’d like to know (in detail) what kind of music everyone here likes. Back in the Die Welt days, I was a real metal dude, but now, while I still listen to some of that stuff, I listen to mostly to gothic/industrial music, along with some alternative rock and punk. Some of the artists I like include:
Bauhaus
The Cure
Christian Death/Rozz Williams
Orgy
AFI
Crass
Rudimentary Peni
The Sisters of Mercy
Siouxie and the Banshees
The Cruxshadows

My top 10 bands are (I’m very fickle so this list is constantly changing):
They Might Be Giants
Gwar
Iron Maiden
Nine Inch Nails
Ministry
Anthrax
KMFDM
Moby
Strapping Young Lad
Beastie Boys
I’ll litereally listen to everything. People often say that when they mean “I like most pop-rock/nu-metal bands/rap” but I’ll listen to everything from polka to experimental noise. I listen to a lot of free-form independant station, so I hear all sorts of weird shite.

Gah, how could I forget KMFDM!! Awesome industrial noise

I own Evanescence’s Fallen. Not a bad album, not that great either. The orchestral/piano bits are beautiful, as is Amy Lee’s voice, but the “metal” parts are boring. Lose Amy Lee and the orchestral bits, add some rapping, and you’ve got Linkin Park.
Evanescence
Black Sabbath
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Linkin Park
Group X (though they ain’t really music; they’re fake, but…)
Nine Inch Nails.
New Found Glory
My friend’s band, Youkai’s Hatred (I wrote a song or two for 'em, but do I get credit? No…)
