I just read through this thread and there are very few of these bands mentioned that I don't like. I have to say that the bands that get the most play from me are the bands like:
UFO
KISS
AC/DC
Judas Priest
Black Sabbath
Alice Cooper
Iron Maiden
Ted Nugent
Blackfoot

The list is really almost never ending.

When I was a bit younger I would listen to more of the aggressive music but now, a little of that goes a long ways. These days I prefer a more simple beat and a cool groove most of the time.

Trouble

Flotsam

Overkill

Testament

Metal Church

Sabbath

Early Metallica

Maiden

Coroner

Believer

The message in most black metal is what keeps me from listening to it too much. There is only so much spilling of entrails and body mutilation in the name of SATAN that a guy listen to without getting bored

God so many bands that I love my list would be endless, so I tired limiting my list to 25, and looking over my list I notice that I like the usual suspects that make these lists always but here I go in no particular order and I will list my favorite album by this artist beside their name:

The Doors-Strange Days
AC/DC-Highway to Hell
Alice Cooper-Killer(band)/ The Last Temptation (solo)
Deep Purple-In Rock
Black Sabbath-Heaven and Hell
Jimi Hendrix Experience-Electric Ladyland
Van Halen-Women and Children First
Aerosmith-Rocks
Thin Lizzy-Black Rose
UFO-Obsession
Led Zeppelin-Physical Graffti
Bob Dylan-Blonde on Blonde
Kiss-Hotter Than Hell
The Rolling Stones-Exile on Main Street
Lou Reed-Berlin
Iggy Pop-The Idiot (solo)/ Raw Power (w/ the Stooges)
Morbid Angel-Blessed are the Sick
Queen-II
King's X-Gretchen Goes to Nebraska
T. Rex-The Slider
Judas Priest-Sad Wings of Destiny
Motorhead-Another Perfect Day
Rainbow-Rising
RUSH-Permante Waves
Iron Maiden-Killers

and go on and on, I have left off Pink Floyd, The Ramones, The sex Pistols, the Clash, Saxon, Sisters of Mercy, Metallica , oh hell I give up !!!!

Manny, if I haven't said it recently...you ROCK!

pffftt... anyone who says that Danzig era Misfits were not the real Misfits obviously doesn't know his ass from his mouth. he's got sh*t coming out of both.

Okay, I'm too tired to come up with some sort of "comprehensive list" but I'll throw a few things out there.

Music that I would die if deprived of:

Jimi Hendrix

Led Zeppelin
Deep Purple (all the different lineups)
John Coltrane
Miles Davis
Thelonious Monk
Jethro Tull
Duke Ellington
Thin Lizzy
The Beatles (anything between Rubber Soul & Let It Be)
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Motorhead
T-Bone Walker

also:
Most any classic/power/thrash metal from 1977 to about 1991
Most progressive rock from around 1967 - 1975
Most classic rock from 1967 - 1980
Jazz - pretty much all forms and all eras (except smooth jazz)
Blues - Chicago, Texas & Mississippi varieties are my favorites
Classical - Bach, Debussy, Paganini, Wagner, etc.
Punk/Hardcore - 1976 - 1985 or so.
