If you listen to Powerman 5000 and are looking for metal avoid the album  Transform. It's more punk.

Tonight the Stars Revolt on the other hand is quite a good album. Used to play Starcraft listening to album.

Tonight the Stars Revolt is a great album.

Have you heard the new one?
It's back to their roots, and is really good.
My new favorite album by Powerman 5000.

Never could take that band seriously. It just never spoke to me.
So I gave that album away to someone who could appreciate it more.

Anyone like CKY?

Yeah, he's a banned spammer. Normally we'd delete this thread too, but people were having too much fun with it by the time we got here.

Blue Cheer. Perhaps not strictly metal, but almost. You could define them as proto-metal, along with Fudge and Cream.
Also listen to Trouble, Sleep and Monster magnet. Early 90's/late 80's doom metal.

I've never really considered myself as much of a metal fan...  I still can't take anything with screaming or death growls, it just doesn't sit well with me.

But lately I've been listening to a bit of Tool, and I'm finding myself growing more into them.  Some of the earlier stuff doesn't sit too well with me, but I've been listening extensively to Ænema and Lateralus (the songs).  Lateralus just sounded cool to me, but Ænema... 

It took me a few times before I got used to the sound and could actually start liking it, now I'm just entranced by the absolutely intense emotional power in that song.  I've always liked music that has a lot of "feeling" in it.  I think that might be why I don't care for Death metal and whatnot, because I just can't believe the growls.  It just sounds to me like they're trying too hard.


I also really like Porcupine Tree, but I never really thought of them as a metal band...  More just Prog rock.

So...   With that knowledge, does anyone have suggestions for this metal neophyte?  I'm also a fair fan of Alice in Chains, but again, I'm not sure of their metalness.  Like I said, I'm new to this sort of thing.  Exact classification is beyond me.


(And I'm just assuming it's alright for someone else to ask for metal recommendations, even though this is still Vester's personal thread for all I know)

Kagus: Maggarg mentioned Queensryche and I really think that it is what you are looking for. It is prog metal and it has a pretty good "feeling" to it. I'd recommend albums Operation: Mindcrime for its desperate feel and Empire for a more emotional sound.

Also, have you tried listening to earlier metal like Black Sabbath and possibly Iron Maiden?
