I like to listen to news theme packages, themes that is played on your local newscast. I am listening to one now.

Quick Favorites:
Frank Gari
Edd Kalehoff (especially the Nightly Business Report and WCBS - Grand theme packs)
615 Music (they also bought out the Shelly Palmer themes a couple years ago, another favorite)

Also like listening to the music on The Weather Channel's local forecast. Especially when the playlist screws up and plays Trammell Starks music.

Then regular bands: like Fleetwood Mac, 10,000 Maniacs, Sarah McLachlan,
Suzanne Vega and Kelly Clarkson to name a few...

I'm a fan of two genres primarily, thrash metal and power metal. However I only like thrash metal that has a large speed metal/progressive metal influence, like early Metallica or Megadeth (who has still kept their thrash edge).

As for power metal, I only like power metal with progressive influences, like bands like Angra, Sonata Arctica, Rhapsody of Fire, some Dragonforce, Stratovarius, Symphony X, Galneryus, and a Wintersun. I do listen to some hard rock too, like Disturbed. So in total :

Megadeth
Metallica
Angra
Disturbed
Sonata Arctica
Symphony X (some)
Galneryus
Wintersun
Creed
Seether
System of a Down

my favorite bands can only be summed up by 3 real good ones

Take That - a band i've been a fan of for 16 yrs. and never saw them live 'cos they're huge in Europe.
