I've found that I'm quite picky when it comes to what I like. I tend to like more slower stuff, heavily downtuned guitars, and clean harsh vocals (I know it sounds like a contradiction, but stick with me) I tend to dislike a lot of Power Metal and Death metal (the super heavy stuff like cannibal corps) Doom metal is quickly becoming one of my favorite genres of metal 8) So is 70's Prog Rock (as you could tell by Camel and the Mahavishnu Orchestra (now the hard part, trying to find albums by them))
I'm also starting to appreciate rap/hip-hop a bit more, but I still dislike the 'gangsta' stuff.
If you have any reccommendations along the lines of the stuff listed above, please add it. And if you're listening to any stuff for the first time, and like it, feel free to post that too :D
Now if you'll excuse me, I have an essay to finish.
