I'm ENFP and I like stuff like Porcupine Tree, Tool, Opeth, Radiohead, Smashing Pumpkins, and a wide array of metal (thrash, death, symphonic, power, etc.). I also love classical music and trance.

By the way, metal in general seems to appeal to SPs on a base physical level. I've noticed SJs seem to dislike it, and that both NTs and NFs seem to be really polarized about it--either it's AWESOME, or they hate it.

That is so damn right ime. ISTP- loves rythm, screaming, precision, technicality. ISTJ- detests screaming, enjoys more pop sounds, mainstream-ish. The NFs and NTs seem to vary a bit more.

I'm ENTP, and I listen to:
Silverstein, In fear and Faith, Atreyu, Killswitch Engaged, The Muse, Goodnight Nurse, the Academy is..., Protest the Hero, The Butterfly Effect, Karnivool, Lost Prophets, Three Days Grace, Billy Talent...

But there is a great variety of lesser bands that I don't mind hearing at all:
Katy Perry, Lady GaGa, Pete Murray, Paramore, Keane, Greenday, The Getaway Plan, Gyroscope, Franz Ferdinand, Powderfinger, MGMT & a variety of oldies

That's what I said re: Muse;).

I know sensors and intuitives that like the muse (I gave it to them :yay:), The band members may be intuitive, maybe that's what you're basing it on. I know an ISFJ that seems to obsess over everything made by NTs, particularly ENTPs :)

I must say I love metal. My favorite metal bands would be Children of Bodom, Opeth, Metallica, Megadeth, Pantera, Between the Buried and Me, In Flames, and Agalloch. I love metal for its epic quality and its raw fury but also for its technicality.

INTPs like Tool. To the point when I started a music thread @ INTPc I threatened to ban anyone that mentioned Tool.












Oh, and Radiohead.

I enjoy Tool in small doses, and a good deal of Radiohead's work.

**Official suggestion that there is no significant correlation between MBTI type and music preference***

INTP: Linkin Park. It's INFP, but there's enough T for it to work.

I don't have just one favorite band or artist. I like a little bit of everything.

ENFPs: Rob Thomas, Colby Caillat, anything singer/songwriter
INTPs: Rush and its modern antecedents, and The Magnetic Fields, anything technically intricate
ENTPs: Southern Culture on the Skids (Dirt Track Date indeed!), Mojo Nixon, anything in which the band is about how big their dick is while also being clever...

...and don't tell anyone, but ENTPs will have a secret stash of Weird Al they get out for special occasions.
