i listen to a little bit of rush and cauldron. but i have a wide range of stuff i love to listen to. il name a few artists i love
GORILLAZ, billy joel, men at work, king harvest, bach, the beatles, Logan (love the zweihander album), inkspots, frank sinatra, the heavy and of course louis armstrong
Wax, Bill Withers, Aloe Blacc, Public Enemy, Atmosphere, Alex Clare, Busdriver, Freestyle Fellowship, Fatlip, Intuition, Band of Horses, The Cool Kids, and as far as metal type music I guess Suicidal Tendencies (closest to metal I have) and .. The White Stripes even though that isn't metal at all, but I love them.
I like anything from trip hop like flylo and shlohmo to what ever the fuck aphex twin is to toal chillout music like Boards of Cananda and even oldies like men at work.
I am trying to be more open minded about metal, what are some good metal bands for me based off the other stuff I posted?
In the olden days, pretty much everyone here (myself included) were (and most still are) total metalheads. I'll listen to and probably love any kind of metal out there besides metalcore/deathcore. (Though I will not necessarily shy away from other forms of music because I was raised on classic rock.)
Recently I've been listening to more techno, electronica and trance type music, though i like all kinds of music really, including metal. I really like bands that mix and experiment with all different genres though i know few bands that do this.
I listen to mainly metal, but i listen to some indie rock, electropop stuff, like Two Door Cinema Club. Sadly, I fell into the abyss genre of dubstep, but I had always been into electrohouse and the like. Beastie Boys also tickles my fancy.
