My taste ranges quite a bit. By my screen name you would already know my first answer to that question ( Tool for those who aren't familiar). Aside from that I would have to say In Flames, At The Gates, System of a Down, Deftones, the first Korn album only, Mr. Bungle, Canderia, Nuerosis, Pantera ("Far Beyond Driven" specifically), Cryptopsy, Faith No More(in case you didn't catch on to that amusing little quote I love so much), and I'd be a liar if I didn't say early Metallica started it all.
