I'm pretty eclectic, but most of today's bands that I like are in the black/death metal genre.
I still enjoy some old school Ice Cube and Public Enemy, traditional eighties hair metal like the Crue and Queensryche, classic rockers like Kiss and Led Zeppelin, essential folk artists like Bob Dylan and Paul Simon, and I even like my John Denver and Barry Manilow.
But these days, pretty much everything sucks. I like what Into Eternity and Amon Amarth are doing. I like Mushroomhead. But the last time I said "OMFG this rocks" it was about Marilyn Manson. Nobody's really approached that level of excellence in artistry since, although Cradle of Filth have played around just outside of it.
