I'm only a part-time metalhead, but my CD collection includes: Megadeth, Metallica, Life of Agony, Sepultura, Pantera, Anthrax, System of a Down, Tool (& A Perfect Circle, can't get enough of Maynard), NIN, Led Zep, Rush, Hawkwind, Clawfinger, Rammstein, and Rage Against the Machine, with singles by Filter, Judas Priest, and Iron Maiden on my iTunes.
I feel no shame at the country/western, Motown, British Invasion, punk, ska, ska-punk, big-band, blues, bluegrass CDs that comprise the rest of my collection.
However, the one CD that I would rather my gaming group not know of (thankfully they don't know my screenname) is the Les Miserables cast recording. Oh, and Rod Stewart's Greated Hits boxed set. Or Jewel. I should stop now.

Hmm, I'm a Metalhead in so far as that Metal is my favorite genre, but my collection is fairly diverse. (I've got everything from showtunes, to death metal, to the Animaniacs soundtrack)
Confessions: ...I like Flight of Seagulls and have their album.
Does the upcoming Metalocalypse/Dethklok album count as bragging or a confession?
"AWAKEN! AWAKEN! AWAKEN! AWAKEN!"

Of course, two of those four songs were covers. Yep, one-hit wonder is a pretty good description of good ole QR.

There were actually some pretty talented Christian metal bands. Stryper, despite the goofy and brutal power ballads, had some great tunes. And both Shout and Guardian were as good as any "secular" metal band.
If you can track down a copy of Guardian's "Miracle Mile" and Shout's "In Your Face", you won't regret it.
And I say this as a person who almost never listens to any religious-type music.

Gabriel said:I secretly sing along with ......................................................... Bon Jovi songs
I know, I know *must scrub the unclean off of me*
[Shrug] Why? Bon Jovi had some great songs. "Raise Your Hands" is one of the all-time great concert songs.
Now if you sang along with Milli Vanilli, I'd say get out the brush . . .
(I don't know if I got the spelling wrong, and don't care.
)
Thunderfoot, Led Zep is one of my favorite bands...but I hardly ever listen to their CDs.
Why?
Not only are they (and PF) staples of the classic rock stations around here, one of my best buds is essentially stuck in the 1970s. Odds of my hearing a Led Zep song in his presence approach 100%.
Continuing Confessions & Brags:
C: Still buying Enya.
B: I did start that Gojira thread...& bought the new album. Shortly thereafter, picked up Jesu, and just picked up the new Mastodon (my first of theirs). I'm intrigued by DragonForce...
Speaking of DragonForce, their guitarists Vai/Malmsteen fusion reminds me: I've said it before- I'm not liking a lot of the new vocalists out there. Too many trying to outdo Max Cavalera, not enough trying to actually sing anymore. While that type of vox has a place, its not so hot over virtuoso (ie Malmsteen/MacAlpine/Chastain, etc.) type guitar.
And sometimes, its clearly not a case of "bad" vocals by choice- Early Man NAILS the early Black Sabbath sound including the tone of Mike Conte's Ozzy-esque vocals- its truly great stoner rock. However, where Oz occasionally wanders around a note without hitting it, the guy for Early Man doesn't seem to be able to hit the mark but 50% of the time.
