Actually, as good as power metal is, I prefer more progressive stuff.
You know, crap that if you don't know music theory it will simply confuse the everloving fuck out of you?
I listen to stuff like Dream Theater, Rush, X Japan, Fates Warning, Queensryche, etc.
To me, Linkin Park, Limp Biskit, etc. are all just typical trash from the record producers who think they may have found a new way to sell records.
