Nu Metal is Not Metal. Having heavy guatars and playing load does not qualify as metal. Most of the bands that are in that genre are more hard rock then they are metal. I am not a music expert but I can hear the difference.

Anyway my favorite genres consist mainlys of Melodic Black Metal, Melodic Death Metal, Heavy Metal, Power Metal, Folk Metal, Progressive Metal and Symphonic Power Metal.

I like Amon Amarth, Opeth, Blind Guardian, Iron Maiden, Saxon, Dream Theater, Judas Priest, Nile, Mastodon, Demons and Wizards, Symphony X, Fairyland, Epiclore, Naplam Death, Nasfar, Immortal, Emperor, Burzum, Rhapsody of Fire and many others.
