Oh yeah, as far as music goes...
I like alot of music that I guess would be considered on the extreme ends of the spectrum.
Heavy/Technical Stuff:
Suffocation
Cannibal Corpse
Meshuggah
Dillinger Escape Plan
Opeth (who do the best job of being heavy, technical, and beautifully melodic all in one song)
Lighter Stuff:
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Primus
Radiohead
Tomahawk
Weird Stuff:
Butthole Surfers
Bjork
Tortoise
These are just a few bands off the top of my head. Some of you will probably shudder in horror or call me gay or something, but I like alot of stuff. I'd like to think I'm pretty well rounded.
Aggressive music is my favorite though.
I used to be in a band when I lived in Orlando, FL, which is where I'm from. I don't think too highly of it anymore, but it was still fun, and we definetly had our moments of badassness. You can listen and laugh here:

No, we weren't called "Meatpounders." And I play guitar. And I am almost 21.
My favorite Opeth album is Blackwater Park. It was the first one I got to hear and after thorough examination of all of their albums I feel it is the one that is best produced and moves me the most (which is really alot since all their albums are fucking fantastic and moving.)
I really like all of them though and like alot of the reviews I've read, It's really hard to speak objectively on any Opeth album without being biased because they really are just fucking great and once you hear an Opeth CD, you will probably be a fan forever.
After reading Mr. Akerfeldt's comments on opeth.darkwood.com and some of the posts on here, I'm sure the new albums are just going to blow are heads off, and I for one cannot fucking wait!!!!
