My favorite sub-genres are Progressive and Metal.
My Top bands... not in any order:
Tool
Opeth
A Perfect Circle
Dragonforce
Mindless Self Indulgence
Reel Big Fish
The Mars Volta
Ulver
Breaking Benjamin
Rhapsody
Crotchduster
Reel Big Fish is an interesting choice amidst your list (but I quite enjoy them), and I like Mars Volta quite a bit as well.
Overall, I like classic rock like LZ, Jimi Hendrix, and even some Lynyrd Skynyrd. As far as modern bands go, I enjoy just about every genre, but really like Flogging Molly, Dropkick Murphy's, In Flames, Killswitch Engage and even some fun stuff like Cake and Bloodhound Gang. My guilty pleasure bands are Rammstein and System of a Down.
MSI is definitely rock. They're some weird-ass sub-genre of punk, but definitely rock. I'll put up a list of my own later, but it's going to be huge. Nice choice of bands for the most part, though, thread-starter.

Helluva list there, Ben Laden. Some great bands, too. Do you like the newer Queens of the Stone Age stuff as much as the older stuff (Rated R and self-titled, I mean)? I can't get into it as much.
I find their older stoner-rock-ish stuff a bit boring. I really like Songs for the Deaf, and I haven't really delved into Lullabies to Paralyze yet, although Everybody Knows You're Insane is a really good song.

I don't really like their stuff when the main guys were Kyuss, but I did enjoy the sound of their early stuff. Oh, and your mention of Apocalyptica is making me go on a binge of their music, now.
