Classic Rock, Punk Rock, Hard Rock, Heavy Metal, Grunge, 90s Alternative Rock, Ska, Glam Rock, New Wave, Synthpop, and occasional music from other areas
Nice list.
For bands, I gravitate primarily towards metal. Particularly power metal, symphonic metal, and Gothic metal, many of which are primarily European in nationality.
Bands like After Forever, Angra, Aquaria, Avantasia, Blind Guardian, Diablo Swing Orchestra, Edguy, Eluveitie, Epica, Gamma Ray, Gloryhammer, Haggard, Helloween, Hollenthon, Kamelot, Nightwish, Pyramaze, Rhapsody of Fire, Sirenia, Sonata Arctica, Stratovarius, Theatre of Tragedy, Theocracy, Therion, Tristania, Twilight Force, Wintersun, Within Temptation, and Xandria to name a few.
I also really like the more traditional metal bands like Black Sabbath, Metallica, Iron Maiden, Megadeth, Queensryche, and the likes. Also like modern metal and rock bands, like Demon Hunter, Disciple, Family Force 5, Flyleaf, Mastodon, Rammstein, Skillet, System of a Down, Thousand Foot Krutch. I even like bands like Evanescence and Linkin Park, despite them being memed to death at this point.
Even nicer. I'll have to check out some of those I don't recognise.
My taste is pretty similar to Titanium Justice, i.e. Euro power/symphonic/melodic/Gothic/pop metal. To add a few more bands to that list: Amberian Dawn (lovingly called "ABBA metal"), Delain, Obsidian Shell, Leaves' Eyes, The LoveCrave, Forever Slave, Edenbridge, Tarja's solo stuff.
Example:
On the more cheesy hard rock/metal side: Sister Sin, Battle Beast, Lordi.
Example:
On the other end of my taste spectrum is synthpop: Ladytron (and Marnie's solo stuff), Goldfrapp.
