You want slow ballads? Try Blind Guardian, they are the undisputed Kings of Ballads. A metal band, in case you don't know.

The Bard's Song, The Maiden and the Minstrel Knight, Noldor, Nightfall, Lord of the Rings, Skalds and Shadows, etc. All stellar ballads.

If you want good Rock, instead of Metal, try Deep Purple. Kick ass.

Maybe check out a bit of Megadeth (thrash metal alot like Metallica) and maybe a little bit of Judas Priest.

I guess you could try Isis. I don't think I know of anyone that didn't like them. Or Slayer come to think of it.
