Current favorite musical artists?

[Chzn8r]

My current favorite musical artists are Radiohead and Pain of Salvation. There is no first and second with them, they are both exceptional bands. After those two, I enjoy listening to Kamelot, Agalloch, Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Symphony X, Amorphis, Porcupine Tree, Silverchair, Rush, and Dream Theater. There is no order to that list either.

If you had a Last.fm profile, we'd probably have very high compatibility, as Radiohead is my #1 most-played artist and Pain of Salvation is my #3.

We should chat it up, you seem to like a lot of similar stuff and I could probably give you recommendations Or if you like, stop by the music forum I call home (as does another EoFF user, Ryth), Five Eight Forums

Chthonic, Sikth, Protest the Hero, Emperor, Gorgoroth, Guns n' Roses, Alice in Chains, Necrophagist, Spawn of Possesion, Pig Destroyer, that's all I can think of off the top of my head.

Oh man, technical music. I know a few people who could fulfill your every desire in technical (or other kinds of) death metal and hardcore. I hate to feel like I'm advertising, but really, you could find a ton of great recommendations in this vein at the music board of Five Eight Forums
Seriously. Sikth, Protest the Hero, Emperor, Necrophagist, and Spawn of Possession all have a lot of big fans there, and no name on your current list of favorites goes un-represented either. *thumbs up*
