About my favorite non-prog bands...well, too many to mention...

- jazz: Joshua Redman (amazing sax player), Bojan Z (great pianist from eastern Europe) and Thelonious Monk

- blues: SRV, Gary Moore (blues era)

- rock: Toto, Queen, Hendrix, Dire Straits...

- metal: old Metallica, Iron Maiden, Megadeth, Symphony X, Nightwish, Steve Vai, Angra

- french singers/groups: Jacques Brel, Alexis HK, Noir Désir, Louise Attaque

- others: some disco music (yes, and I'm not ashamed!), and about everything good

there are so damn many.. Prog and metal is what I listen, but in metal there are SO many sub-genre's, some bands that I like:

Death metal : Morbid angel, nile, vader
Black metal : Ulver, wyrd, Kampfar
Suicide metal : Forgotten tomb, shining, ondskapt
viking metal : Amon amarth, falkenbach
Doom metal : evoken, worship, my dying bride
Prog metal: Maudlin of the well, opeth, green carnation, drawn
Katatonia-alike metal (lol?) : Katatonia (duh), rapture, daylight dies, october tide

I can't hear all those stuffs made by (and for) young extremists & schizo...moreover I can't consider this sh*t as music or art...those bands make me want to throw up.

Suicide Metal:

Don't be ridiculus.. Really.. I appreciate forgotten tomb maybe more then some prog.. And I know that it is just an opinion, YOURS.. Go and listen to it before you can judge it.. And eventhough you don't like it.. you can still say it on an normal way.. because I think this way is just offending me, and you meant it this way..

But these ones are not the best IMO. Apart from prog metal, I think that the "oldies" (Metallica, Megadeth, Iron Maiden...) are the best ones.

A ton of stuff for me:

Black Sabbath (Ozzy years, it just wasn't Sabbath without Ozzy)

Cream

Hendrix

Stevie Ray Vaughan

Albert Freddie & BB King

Allman Bros.

Steve Winwood's last album "About Time" is killer, best thing he's done since Traffic (not a note of cheeesy pop music on this thing!)

Tower of Power

Prong

Helmet

James Brown

Otis Redding

Ray Charles

Frank Sinatra

Tony Bennett

Santana

Blue Oyster Cult

lots of classical music like Bach, Ludwig Von, Ravel, Debussy, Stravinsky, Mussorgsky et al. (can't stand Mozart though, way too sugary for me)

a lot of jazz, swing, jump blues like Louis Jordan, Big Joe Turner etc.

Tito Puente'

And House music (specifically the jazz-house and deep-house)

Queen, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, David Bowie, Elton John, Rainbow, Chicago.

That's the best in my book so far.

I enjoy a lot of music that isnt prog, theres this one reggae album that i heard and forgot the name, and i havent heard it since. disheartening. But my all time favourite non-prog artist is Tom Waits, awesome.
