Given that I went in for punk rock in a big way, I find that much heavy metal is a bit "soft", musically. System of a Down have some lovely folksy bits in their music, as well as the rocky edge that floats my boat - and I can hear echoes of the Dead Kennedys in the vocals. But I have an incredibly broad taste in music (I'm listening to some Bach violin cantatas as I write, and for the next course I'm cueing up that amazing album by Ali Farka Toure and Ry Cooder). What turns me off is purely commercial music. Yeah yeah, who am I to decide what that is? Well, a bit like torture, it's hard to define but I know it when it's in front of me.

Sin, round here we called him "Dead Fred" for a while! Queen were a rock band, but not heavy metal, and I'd say the same for Led Zep.
