    Retro video game soundtracks are my guilty pleasure; especially the Genesis. Thunder Force IV, Batman, SOR, Ecco the Dolphin, Shinobi, Zero WIng, Elemental Master, Gaiares. Childhood memories!

    Its like 16 bit Melodic Thrash Metal

    My love for the Genesis probably foreshadowed my love for the prog rock band Genesis.

    I'd also add Japanese Arrange music (covers of compositions from Japanese media) but since it is like a cross between Melodic Death Metal and Power Metal without vocals, it is 100% Heavy Metal.

    Hi Wolfgang A. Mozart!

    I enjoy many types of music aside metal, like Mexican Regional Music, Rap, Spanish Rock, Alternative Rock, and Reggaeton! I don't consider it guilty pleasure, but sure something to have variety in my musical tastes. Here's a example of what I listen to when I don't listen to metal.

    Los Tucanes de Tijuana

    Tito El Bambino (early material)

    Nirvana

    Crunchy Black

    Michael Jackson

    Baby Boy Da Prince

    Dinosaur Jr.

    Hector El Father

    Panda

    Ludacris

    Valentin Elizalde

    Banda El Recodo

    Jaguares

    Arkangel

    Alesana

    THANK YOU WOLFGANG A. MOZART!

    Since i listen to metal because musicianship over culture (i play guitar heaps), i usually listen to

    -in flames

    -hammerfall

    -metallica

    -iron maiden

    -alter bridge

    My **** thats not metal that i listen to is rock like guns n roses, queens of the stone age etc and indie like violent soho, wavves, dune rats etc i like indie because its still proper music unlike all this gay electro **** and at least with indie, people who arent into it wont have those annoying biases they have about metal, youd be surprised indie is pretty good but im not talking about wombats and all that **** i mean garage/ post grunge/ punky ****

    Linkin Park. As a person who listens to most metal genres (Power, thrash, death, black, etc) I somehow like jamming to Linkin Park. I think that's the only band though. Sometimes I listen to Eminem, though. But its not like I'm a big fan or whatever.

    Why are non metal bands considered a "guilty pleasure"? Metalheads can listen to whatever they want.
