" @BulletproofMonk:  Good to see Opeth being mentioned this early in the thread. They certainly deserve it. I like a lot of bands that can be decribed as metal (as well as other genres of music of course), but Opeth are responsible for some of the greatest pieces of music of all time. Period.  "
man im glad to see some giantbombers love Opeth so much! last time i checked they were way ahead of any other band on my all time favorites list.. just all around epic and emotional and sorrowful and raging and brilliantly melodic, shifting tempos and sounds and attitudes for 10+ minutes a song and fucking sucking me in helplessly beyond imagination 
 
You know, there are enough metalheads in the world for me to not care about 'converting' non metalheads, they can do their thing and we're doing just fine without them, it's just sad that they're missing out on the godly music that we were fortunate enough to stumble upon and enjoy for eternity .. Opeth takes all of your emotions and dreams and instincts to higher levels and makes you feel more than alive ! ok i'll stop now ^^

@Ahmad_Metallic:  So right ... I also got tired of trying to convince people to like it , but now what does it matter? I like it and thats the only thing that matters , also I aknowledge that metal , even Black Metal more so is an acquired taste , is not for everybody and its ok like that . Hail Brother \m/

You said it! Truly special songwriting and musical talent. When I experienced my first live show and saw that they are even able to deliver their exceptionally complex songs in a live setting and retain the magic, I was absolutely convinced :)

@raphaa00: Well, just by posting an Immolation vid, you are my favorite. 
 
I love metal, but generally only doom metal and NYDM. I used to like black metal and all that, but I grew out of it rather quickly.  
 
The genre of music I love and play the most though is indie rock. Just something I prefer more, though a full listen of Realm of Chaos, Effigy of the Forgotten and Onward to Golgotha still sends shivers down my spine.

Yes, but not as obsessively as I did five/six years ago. I am however, quite hooked to the new Malevolent Creation album Invidious Dominion. Cradle of Filth's new album is also good. Yeah, it's save to say I still like me some 'Metáááááál!!' (high pitched scream)

Love me some metalcore, deathcore, groove metal or technical metal.

Ugh I hate when people say they listen to metal and list metalcore/nu metal. Groove metal is fine just because Pantera was amazing but shit like Parkway Drive, Atreyu, Linkin Park, Papa Roach etc is NOT metal. 
 
Anyways, yes I do enjoy it a lot. I used to be into death metal pretty primarily but now I have mixed that with alternative metal and such like Alice in Chains. I have been getting into stoner metal (doom metal) such as Black Sabbath and the Sword most recently.

I'm not a metal fan at all, I find the music really boring.
 
I especially dislike Megadeath, Disturbed and that stuff, the main thing that turns me off is vocals and boring grinding guitars.
 
The imagery associated is meh, I think dudes with long unwashed hair are silly.

"aside from ONE song, which I'm quite sure everyone here either hates it or has never heard of it,
  
   the answer is a resounding NO, I HATE IT!! "

That song is about the heaviest I ever heard Crush 40 get. 
 
As for the question itself, I've listened to Metallica, and I don't know whether System Of A Down counts, but I listen to more hip-hop and rap than most any other genre.  Of course, we all need some musical variety every now and then.

As with pretty much all genres, some bands are amazing while others just couldn't be any worse...
But anyway, overall, yeah, I like it. Some bands such as Opeth, My Dying Bride and Iron Maiden actually rank among some of my favorites ever. Also, TooL is favorite band in the active :)

That I do. Used to be alot more than most other overall genres of music, though these days I listen to metal as much as electronica, rock, funk, old school rap and a dozen of other genres I've grown to enjoy since secondary school.

sorry, but your kind of wrong WickedFather, at least you still listen to the magic of those albums, and Metallica is the Greatest band, along with Black Sabbth and Led Zeppelin, and even Voivod. I quite enjoy metal, mainly thrash metal, but also love the 70s rock.

I don't agree with this at all. I'm 26 and pretty sure i'll still be listening to it well into my 30's. And it by no means is all I listen to, but it's my preferred genre by far. I also listen to a lot of Christian hip-hop, rock and pop.

@birdflu777:  Dude yes! That whole album is in my top three favorites of all time. Spirit Crusher, Moment of Clarity, To Forgive is to Suffer, Scavenger of Human Sorrow. So glad Schuldiner didn't stop at Symbolic.

Despite the obvious "U MAD!?" potential, this is about the most potently put together hate-post I've ever seen.

I'm a big metal fan.  Mostly Norwegian black and death metal such as Enslaved, Mayhem, Dodheimsgaard, Dimmu Borgir, and Age of Silence, but also the random heavier US bands like Cattle Decapitation, Wolves in the Throne Room, and Mastodon, and UK bands like Anaal Nathrakh.

Why is it everytime someone mentions metal everyone seems to have to come in a post their favorite "Metal" song or artist.
