lol Dude I used to listen to stuff like that all the time. Before I got my (second) computerm I always listened to stuff that was on the radio. I'll list some old-school used to be favorites ...

Limp Bizkit
Korn
Linkin Park
Godsmack
Staind

Edit** I guess I'll list some more recent bands too ... I still listen to some of this stuff though, but I'll add the stuff I DO listen to cause it helped me get into heavier stuff.

Avenged Sevenfold
Atreyu
Trivium
A Dozen Furies
Chimaira
Coheed and Cambria
Misfits
AFI

That's basically all I listened to around the end of last year.

Before I listened to metal I have to admitt I was pretty close minded when it came to music.

I mostly listened to punk bands such as:

NOFX
Circle Jerks
Agent Orange
AFI
Anti-Flag
Rancid
H20
GBH
Pennywise
Dead Kennedy's
stuff like that..

Other stuff:
Jeff Buckley
Tool
Supergrass
Incubus (older stuff)
Smashing Pumpkins
311 (early days)
Alice in Chains
Primus
etc.

I didn't listen to much metal because all I knew was nu-metal (which I didn't really care for) and some heavy metal. Opeth is how I came across extreme metal and that hooked me.

I listened to a lot of those punk bands alongside metal in the 80's and 90's
shit i still do.
But before i started to listen to metal i used to listen to stuff like Creedence
Clearwater Revival, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zepplin, old country music like hank sr.,
Charlie Rich, Kenny Rogers and so on.

 

[Boru]

Lynyrd Skynyrd, Jimi Hendrix, the Animals, Santana, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Sex Pistols, Ratm, the Clash, Stone Temple Pilots, Guns n Roses, Motley Crue

I'd say those are the big ones all which are still personal favorites but I do realize now Kurt Cobain wasn't as good as once thought, the music is still awesome though.

 

[Keltoi]

I can honestly say the first music I was exposed to as a child was metal. Mainly Iron Maiden, Slayer, Mercyful Fate, and so forth. The more modern and extreme stuff I found around the age of 18 when I bought a Morbid Angel album, which led to more Death, then Black metal, and now I'm discovering progressive and power metal...all good stuff.

Just a question... why can't you continue to listen to bands that you listened to before getting into metal? Does being a fan of metal preclude you from liking other types of music?

 

[Perpetual Catatonia]

Look at my post. I still like (a lot of) Metalcore and some Alternative Rock.

 

[Death Animal]

Did listen realy much nothing before metal.
Well I did have some Scooter, Bon Jovi and Queen records.

Hell no I like Punk, Alt Rock, Folk Music, Old School Country and more I'd say.

I was a grunger/ alt head/ punker way before I got big into metal and I still enjoy all that stuff.

Good point. I still listen to some of the artists I listed (such as Tool and Jeff Buckley), it's mostly the punk (with the exception of some old-school punk) I don't listen to anymore. After a while it just got kind of old to me.
