I've always liked metal, though I can't say much for power ballads... For what's still considered an 'obscure' genre (yeah, just like foreigners in America are still considered minorities) it has some hella talented musicians. I like good old metal. Pantera, RIP dimebag, metallica before they sold out (no, not when they cut their hair, when they sold their souls.. two different times), and so on.
