    Default Am I the only one here who DOESN'T like Metal?

    Ok, well I admit I like a couple Metal bands such as Nightwish, but overall I can't stand it. Most of it just sounds like screaming to me. One thing that really defines "good" music to me is good vocals.

    I'll listen to almost anything, but lately it has been techno/trance for me.

    Hopefully. And if you're not a metal head you might as well be dead.
    Anyways, what metal bands have you listened to so far?

    I like some screamo n shit, but in general metal sucks. Most of it doesn't mean anything, and is unoriginal and pointless. Nightwish sucks.

    Rap Metal is cool though, and some other crossover genres.

    So the capitalist system of production for profit results in this crazy situation: (1) people have to starve - not because there is not enough food but because there is too much of it; they have to do without the things they need, because there is too much of those things on hand;(2) because there is too much, manufacture is cut down, throwing thousands out of work;(3) being out of work and therefore not earning, those thousands lose their buying capacity. The grocer, the butcher, the tailor all s, as a result. That means increased unemployment all around, the crisis gets worse. ---Alexander Berkman

    I don't know, but most metal songs I have heard just sound like screaming.
    Most modern 'metal' isn't metal (see: Shitknot), and does just sound like screaming. Thus my curiosity, seeing as there is loads of metal without harsh vocals (that make up the majority of ones that I listen to, actually).
    Still, good vocals? What kind of vocals would you say are good?
    Try 'The Devil's Hall of Fame' by Beyond Twilight. Also 'Heaven and Hell' by Black Sabbath (try 'Mob Rules' if you like that), 'Holy Diver' by Dio, 'Into the Depths of Sorrow' and 'Through the Darkest Hour' by Solitude Aeturnus, and 'Watching From a Distance' by Warning.

    Then again, to fully enjoy metal, one has to get used to listening in a rather different way to vocal-centric music, which took me a while to get used to. Especially metal with harsh vocals, or just fairly crappy vocals like Blind Illusion (who are still awesome). Or, hell, demon frog vocals (Demilich).

    Also, I would recommend Jag Panzer's 'Ample Destruction'. It's pretty much the pinnacle of USPM, and Harry Conklin is god.

    I like some screamo n shit, but in general metal sucks. Most of it doesn't mean anything, and is unoriginal and pointless. Nightwish sucks.
    Well, you like screamo, so...
    Though yes, Nightwish sucks.

    I used to love all genres of Metal but I don't listen to it often anymore. Trust me, there's a lot more to it than screaming.

    Is Scratching Post considered metal?

    Metal is not a genre I like, with the odd exception.
