Let's see.

The Theocracy thread was the inspiration for this one.

Let's see what bands the members of CHM like and dislike.
How many bands we all like or dislike.
What members have very special music styles.
Or if there are members that really like uncomman music - bands.
Like Thorn Flesh.

Or in other words this is a rarities thread about the music choices of the CHM members.

I like most melodic type bands with an 80's style because it is what I grew up on. However, I don't care for Theocracy. Just not my thing although I realize they are talented at what they do in that style.

I think Thresher is extremely underrated & is one of my favorite bands. I bought Totally Possessed when I was 15 years old. I wore that tape out. Oh yeah, I love Theocracy. I saw them live at Cornerstone '09, but left early to go see The Crucified.

Those were two great shows. I believe that Lia M. fell asleep during The Crucified show Very Happy

I am not a fan of progressive metal like Theocracy. They are talented, but I just don't care for them.

Put the name of most extreme metal bands in here and I won't listen to them if they have harsher vocal styles. I can't stand the "Cookie Monster barking like a dog" vocal style or the "Torturing A Pig" variety either.

As with many here, I too dislike growling, metalcore vocals, screamcore, cookie monster delivery, etc. I went to the Facedown Fest- 8 metal-core bands playing for over half a day, I had a bit of fun as I enjoy concerts, and some of the bands had some excellent sounds and occasional pleasant vocal delivery... but overall, it's not my cup of tea.

On the other hand, I dig symphonic type metal. It's not top on my list, but I do like it. Theocracy is one of my favorite bands.
My leanings are more towards Seventh Avenue ! Absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE them ! Own all (except 2 hard to find) albums by them.

I have always been very eclectic in my musical tastes, from rock to rap, from CCM to punk, from Doo-Wop to Industrial, etc.

However, the top #1 of all time past present and future favorite musical style for me will ALWAYS be Classic Heavy Metal/Rock from, or inspired/influenced by the 70s and 80s masters.

I can take the 'extreme' vocals in small doses, but a band that screams from start to finish gets on my nerves. When I write/record for Step Cousin, I do some of the cookie monster/growl vocals, but I always incorporate multiple vocal styles, so it won't get boring or too annoying. Some songs have no growl vocals at all. It's all melodic (Lordchain-esk). Sometimes I use the growl in the background to give the main vocal a little more punch.

Ditto!

I am also a huge fan of female fronted hard rock and metal.....BUT I don't care for most of the symphonic type metal bands where the band plays what is basically metal and the singer sounds like she would rather be doing opera.

Epic DOOOOOOOOOM
Funeral DOOOOOOOOOOM
Death/DOOOOOOOOOOM
Black

Power
Melodic
Thrash
Progressive
Hardcore
Deathcore

The one thing that I really don't like is senseless "noodling". I Built The Cross' self-titled album is a prime example of this.
