I'm not big into metal, so a lot of these bands I either don't listen to, or wouldn't know. I'm not a fan of Slipknot at all, in fact I think they're a terrible band. Metallica (earlier stuff), Machine Head and Sigur Rós are all I'd listen to there.

My list will probably work out a bit different from the others here but I'll keep it to the confines of rock...

1. Bob Dylan
2. The Smiths
3. Joy Divison
4. Frank Zappa
5. Sigur Rós
6. Smashing Pumpkins
7. Ween
8. Rush
9. Rory Gallagher
10. Rage Against the Machine
11. King Crimson
12. Faith No More
13. Led Zeppelin
14. Dire Straits
15. Beck

1. Type O Negative
2. Acid Bath
3. System of a Down
4. Lacuna Coil
5. Within Temptation
6. Devildriver
7. Misfits
8. Danzig
9. Wednesday 13
10. Pantera
11. Down
12. In This Moment
13. My Ruin
14. Fear Factory
15. Megadeth

Not up my street to be honest, only heard of 8 of those bands. I enjoy the odd bit of Maiden, but Viking, Black and Folk Metal seem to be quite well represented there which aren't my kinda thing!

In vague order, and excluding bands I love that have released albums I either hate or haven't yet heard ...

1. In Flames
2. Dream Theater
3. Korn
4. Biffy Clyro
5. Enter Shikari
6. The Beatles
7. Maximo Park
8. Crystal Castles
9. Oasis
10. Pendulum
11. System of a Down
12. Tenacious D
13. The Hoosiers
14. Flight of the Conchords
15. The Fall of Troy

Nice mix of genres there. I liked In Flames up till the last album and then not. You'd have to love Tenacious D if even for the comedy and stuff. Golly I remember being in Perth, Australia just as Pendulum were breaking and the sound was pretty exciting (for Western Australia at the time).

Not in any order except for Radiohead in num 1.

Radiohead
Pixies
Meshuggah
Shpongle
Lamb Of God
Cancer Bats
Rolling Stones
Sigur Rós
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Dreadzone
The Orb
Children Of Bodom
Soilwork
Yes
Deep Purple

Rud

Never heard of Shpongle but everything else seems good to me especially Pixies and Radiohead

Same as. Knew a few of the more popular songs but got Backspacer, loved it and started listening to all the older stuff then. Immense.
