I like all types of music, but Slipknot sounds very generic, like there's nothing special that makes them stand out from other bands of their type.

Good luck in Battle of the Bands, Dark Angel. I didn't know you had those in the UK as well

Some Music I like (in no particular order):

Green Day
Placebo
Smashing Pumpkins
Ramones
Nirvana
Lou Reed
Judas Priest
Fleetwood Mac
Classical Instrumental (Bach, Chopin, Beethoven)
My mom used to sing Gilbert and Sullivan around the house so I grew up to like that too.
