Hmm... I think for this I'll have to include as many genres as possible, so I'll have to exclude some of my favorites. Since I have so many.
10. Kraftwerk
09. Weezer/Offspring
08. George Winston/Danny Elfman
07. Enya/Clannad/Enigma (Can't choose)
06. Radiohead
05. Zeppelin/Lynyrd Skynyrd/Pink Floyd (Have to group them together)
04. U2/R.E.M./Inxs/Ben Folds Five (Don't know why I grouped them...)
03. Tool
02. Metallica
01. Blind Guardian/Demons & Wizards
I hate to omit so many bands that I love.
But I love to list the ones I hate...
05. Nü Metal
04. Boy bands
03. Most rap
02. Brittany Spears/Christina Aguilera
01. Blink 182
Shadow... I commend your choices! I still like all of them. Those are basically what introduced me to music. But I don't like AC/DC anymore. Their riffs are too similar and repetetive. But I really liked 'em for a while. And I still kinda like "Hell's Bells".
And Nicholas... I can't flame someone who likes Nightwish
