A couple of faves, actually.
Classic Heavy Metal. Some people call this NWOBHW, or whatever, but to me, anything that sounds like Sabbath or Priest and came out during the 70s counts.
Melodic Death is also very close to my heart. My favorite band right after Judas Priest is Synestesia, they play Finnish melodic death metal. A little googling will net you two free albums off of their website.
Metalcore is a genre that I sometimes love and sometimes don't. Not as steady a favorite as MeloDeath or Classic. I can hate a whole album, and love a few songs, or I can build altars to entire discographies.
I know it's just a sub-genre of melodic death, but viking metal is also pretty cool. Not to mention... Pirate Metal. Alestorm! \m/
