Space it out better or something to make it easier to read.:kickass:



On Topic: Non-metal that I like? Everything.:kickass:
 
I dig 80s music, I even listen to Depeche Mode occasionally. And I love Glam, especially Mötley Crüe :)
well, and then there's the shitload of 80s Rock and Hard-Rock music.
 
My background is in classical music, I listen to it at least once a week, things like Mozart, Bach, Shostakovich, Grieg. I also appreciate jazz, I listen to Charlie Parker, Miles Davis and -sometimes, when I'm really in the mood- Thelonious Monk.
Non metal bands that I like... the hard rock stuff is really cool, I listen to Guns everyday, Aerosmith, Skid Row, Faith no More, Guano Apes... I also like punk music, The Sex Pistols, The Ramones, The Germs... Oh, I listen to The Dresden Dolls very often, and also Enter Shikari.
 
Billy Talent, Burzum's two ambient albums, and a bit of classical.

But that's about it. Pretty much everything else I listen to, is metal.
 
Bah, everyone who's into classical always listen to Bach. Well, he's like the mainstream Justin Timberlake of Classical music....
