If you're sitting alone, looking for something to listen to, but don't know what to try, then i've got the answer. Heavy metal may seem dark and full of anguish to some of you, but in truth, it is some of the deepest and most moving music, with the greatest solos and instrumentals in almost any genre. So, if you still don't know wha tto try, i'll give you some suggestions:

Iron Maiden

Judas Priest

Metallica

The Scorpions 

Sonata Arctica

Led Zeppelin

Rob Zombie

This of course is jsut naming a few, i i know that i have left out many high quality bands, so explore for yourself and you'll discover some of the greatest music ever that has been hidden behind a dark cloud of leather and crossbones.
