Such good music taste on ILF! A lot of my favorites have already been mentioned (Fugazi, Q And Not U, The Jesus Lizard), but I'll throw in a couple.

Isis - Threshold of Transformation (especially the 2nd riff that comes in a minute in)
Black Sabbath - Hole in the Sky (underrated Sabbath tune)
Sleep - Dragonaut (obvs)
Tool - Reflection (bass riff)
Pelican - Last Day of Winter (epicness)
Red Sparowes - Alone and Unaware ... (ditto)
Motorhead - Ace of Spades (I don't care how cliche'd it is, that riff still makes me want to fucking jump around)
Jakob - Malachite (light and clean, but kicks my ass)
Shadows Fall - Idle Hands (this is about as far into metal as I go, but it kicks ass)
Refused - New Noise
Jesus, 7 of the 10 are album openers. That's weird.
DAMN. Im only on page one but this is like..... nearly perfect.
