Or sub-genre metal bands that aren't accepted here (god forbid...SOAD, that kind of a thing)

Jazz
Joe Pass-jazz guitar, he's very good

Bill Evans-jazz piano (my favorite all time jazz player. played on the monumentous Kind of Blue album)

Miles Davis-legendary.

Ambient/Techno/IDM

Autechre-interesting ,albeit un-melodic IDM

Shpongle-exotic ambient music, weird vocals and strange instruments

Ozric Tentacles-live band, techno style music. Defiantely worth a listen, kind of like Porcupine Tree and Pink Floyd with no vocals

Rock

Thin Lizzy- everybody loves lizzy!

Alice in Chains-the best of the grunge (though they aren't quite grunge) era

Cky-great band, look into the guitarist/vocalist Deron Miller. he's doing a lot for metal

Foo Fighters-actually very good, enjoyable music

Irish Drinking songs

although this isn't a genre per se, two albums everyone should own are 28 Irish Pub Songs and definately Irish Drinking Songs by the Clancy Brothers

what're your favorites outside of metal?

I've got a feeling this'll get moved to the bands forum.

Anyway, I love classical music when I'm not listening to metal. Mussourgsky's Night on Bare Mountain is excellent as is the Planets Suite by Holst. Wagner has some good stuff as well and you can't forget the genius of Bach, Beethoven and Mozart.

I also really like Jimi Hendrix's earlier stuff - I'm not too keen on Band of Gypsies but for the main part it's all good stuff.

I also like all those songs I listened to on the radio when I was growing up in the mid-to-late 80's. Stuff like Michael Jackson, Duran Duran, Talking Heads, Dead Or Alive, Frankie Goes To Hollywood - all that classic 80's pop, hehe. They certainly don't make pop like they used to!

Yeah, OK, I'm cheesy...

__________________

I adore The Carpenters: 70's pop Oh yeah!

That's even cheesier than I am!

no man, 80's pop is cool. 80's pop and J-pop is the only good type of pop music. (in j-pop they have shreddy guitar solos and stuff)

I listen to Satchmo (not to be confused with louis armstrong), Vai, Malmsteen, and
a lil bit (meaning some mp3s) of:

Al Dimeola
Alice in chains
Dixie dregs
Infected Mushroom (awesome techno group. They're classified "goa-psytrance" or whatever that means. They have synth solos and are pretty intelligent. Download the song "Symphonatic" you'll be impressed.)
Pink Floyd
Paganini

and last but not least, Metallica (ooohh, burnnn )

I pretty much don't listen to stuff that doesn't have guitar in it.

__________________

70's Progressive Rock (Yes, Genesis...)
Jethro Tull
Elvis Presley
The Doors
Classical Guitar
Classical Music in general
Frank Zappa
David Bowie (Ziggy Stardust)
Queen
Wes Montgomery (jazz guitar, incredible)
Keith Jarrett
Michael Jackson
Heavy Metal (AC/DC, etc.)
Antemeridiem
Clockwork Orange Soundtrack
etc., etc.

Yeah, I keep a listen out for guitar riffs in all that 80's pop. Beat It by Michael Jackson (guesting EVH, of course) is the king of all guitar-based pop songs!

I find that the pop bands back then actually played their instruments and wrote their own songs. Nowadays they earn millions for miming to a song that they had no input during the writing process. There's no justice in this world...

__________________

I used to hang around with alot of punks when I was in school, and used to be in a hardcore punk band - Everyone into metal couldn't put 2 chords together unless they were in drop D...

It's a genre that's well worth a listen in my opinion.

Death by stereo (but their new album is shite)
Sick of it all
Refused
Propaghandi

Other than that, RATM, early chilis, and early marilyn manson.

And a bit of fret-wanking by Mr. Vai

Rage Against the Machine
Tool
Radiohead
Bjork
Dead Kennedys
Hendix
Scientists
Bob Marley
Ramones
Antermeridiem
Smashing Pumpkins
Alice in Chains
Stone Temple Pilots (earier work)
Tappi Tikarass
Hole
Sound Garden

And so on...
