Ehi, I'm quite like you!
In fact I don't like most of metal, or in other words I don't like
HEAVY metal! In fact I listen to (besides Dream Theater):
Sonata Arctica (melodic metal)
Rhapsody (Epic metal)
Queen (rock)
Guns'n'roses (hard rock)
and others power metal\prog metal band (like SymphonyX and
Stratovarius or Evergrey), but I listen also to italian music (pop
and similar not so commercial) and age '80 music, so me too was
asking "what kind of music I like?
