Prodigy and Linkin Park (but not their rap songs!)
and I used to listen to club music, which now just makes me sick. Seriously, some songs really resonated with me, giving me chills all over. But now, when I hear those same songs, it's just awful -_-
Yes, I have two bands that I can definitely put in first and second place among all the bands I like. These are Nightwish and Epica, respectively. I also love Therion, Rhapsody (/ Rhapsody of Fire), Demons and Wizards, Eluveitie, Graveworm.
