I know what power metal sounds like, and Wintersun has viking/folk power metal written all over it, right down to the drumming. I have nothing against that. In fact, I'll take Wintersun over most power metal bands. Unfortunately, that kind of music is not what I desire. More power to those who do like it, but because I don't care for something because it sounds remotely like power metal, doesn't mean I hate it or discredit its musical merit.
yeah, i understand your point, but must have some band that you don't listen nowadays
Well, when I was a little kid I liked a lot of stuff on the pop station like the Bee Gees and maybe Sugarhill Gang. I loved the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack. But I also liked rock radio. I don't hate any of that stuff now.
Yeah, there are bands that I maybe used to listen to a lot that I now don't listen to a lot, but I can't think of any *release* that I used to love, and now hate. Yeah, I used to love Metallica in the 80's, and now I think they are dumb. But my opinion of their good albums hasn't changed.
I used to love The Scorpions. They were my first favorite band. I still like them.
I used to like some Van Halen songs on the radio in the early 80's, but I never loved the band, and never had any albums. I kinda hate them, but I never loved them.
I liked the first two Motley Crue albums, and hated everything after that. I still feel the same way.
I started with Scorpions - Iron Maiden - Metallica - Mercyful Fate - Kreator - Destruction - Possessed - etc. I still like it all.
I still don't hear it. My metal tastes were harvested on power metal and thus I have quite a backing in it, but Wintersun does not display any traits that would put it into a category of "power metal". Viking/folk, yes, but not power.
dude, congratulations!!!
but are you still liking megadeth, sepultura, venom and others great bands from the past that today are big shits? or have you never heard/liked then?
Heard a little Venom back in the day. Didn't really like it. Haven't heard much since then. I love the first few Megadeth albums, especially Peace Sells. I am less familiar with stuff after Rust in Peace. Never really got into Sepultura. Like old Slayer. Haven't heard much past Reign in Blood. Like the first Flotsam and Jetsam, first Death Angel (and the latest one). I liked one Pantera song I heard on the radio around 1987 maybe. Hate their "modern" stuff.

SOAD are not really nu-metal, and I think they are a pretty original and good band.

no one likes their new shit...me included. Their old material was much better
