I've never been to fond of metal. I like the fathers of the genre like Led Zep and Deep Purple, and I don't mind bands like say Rush who incorporate metal elements into a different oriented sound.

Any suggestions?

Baroness are a modern band that I think are just wonderful. Their sound isn't too heavy by modern metal standards and they have awesome, melodic guitar playing.

As Alfred said, Baroness rock. I also suggest Torche. They're heavy, but also extremely fun and poppy. I really love 'em.

"Sand"....also in 2007 he got together with Gavin Bryars and Alter Ego to record a live version of Bryars's infamous "Sinking Of The Titanic".....get that recording....it is beyond chilling

Type O Negative - Slow, deep and hard
Kyuss - blues for the red sun
Emperor - Anthems to the welkin at dusk
Kamelot - The fourth legacy
Electric wizard - come my fanatics

Never liked the generic lo-fi "indie rock" thing.

If you don't like this then you'll probably never like lo-fi indie.

I fucking hate 99% of Twee Pop with a passion. The other 1%? Well I may have an album in my collection that has elements but cannot remember it so convince me.

NO

Belle and Sebastian PLEASE!

I do like a fair bit of C86 but I consider the sound not so annoying and a little more sparky and fun than most of the middle class student chinging away on acoustic guitars, living in a dreamworld type of sound that I hear in Twee Pop ( I feel a little sick rising up even saying it).

Ah, yes, I feel exactly the same way. Twee generally makes me want to break things.

Since you've pretty much confessed to liking Geddy Lee's voice-- I do too, but many can't tolerate his singing-- you should check out Coheed and Cambria, who are also quite poppy and have similar, albeit poppier vocals than Rush.
