Cool topic Liquid. I'll take the chance to get more active in here. Doing his first post here within a non vgm related thread is somewhat strange I have to admit. :>
I think I need to do this a bit different than you did since I listen to a wide range of artists and I think it's probably easier to just name the genre and then give suggestions.
So besides Soundtracks I listen to:
- Metal
