Helloween
X Japan
Death
Pharaoh
Galneryus

I can't think of two others. =P
Those are in no real order, either.
-
Pharaoh
Yeah, Pharaoh are a pretty good band (although not as good as labelmates Battleroar, haha!). I've only heard Be Gone, but that's one of the better US power metal records of recent years. Have you heard the two older records?
-

So here is mine... pretty hard to do but anyway

Lets see:
X Japan (I have been listening to them actively for almost a year now...that's extremely long for me!)
The Killers (I can describe all their songs with one word: Cool!!!)
Coldplay (First band that bought me into the whole music thing, first song: Speed of Sound)
Keane (Their music is special to me for some reason...)
hide with Spread Beaver (His music really is amazing, and he is the only artist I listen to that has multiple singing styles)
L'Arc~en~Ciel (First japanese band I really listened to. Their music rocks and I have only heard a small amount of it!)
The Pillows (They are musically clever in my opinion, and the lead singer's voice is awesome. Their music makes me happy! Blues Drive Monster!!)
Travis (Great band, although I do prefer their more rockier songs)
Muse (Even though I don't really listen to them much anymore, I still have all their studio albums and like their style of music)
Snow Patrol (Can't stand their early stuff, but their mainstream music is good. Althought Grey's Anatomy killed there singles for me...I can't stand Chasing Cars anymore!)
-
Pharaoh
Yeah, Pharaoh are a pretty good band (although not as good as labelmates Battleroar, haha!). I've only heard Be Gone, but that's one of the better US power metal records of recent years. Have you heard the two older records?
Yeah, I just recently got Be Gone, it's pretty awesome. And yeah, I have their two other albums, both of which are brilliant and are both better than Be Gone, in my opinion. You should look out for them. ;)

I actually don't listen to very much Western music at all; 98% of everything I listen to is from Japan. Actual bands are pretty difficult to list as I like a lot of solo artists too. I'd take my results from last.fm but it lies, so right now it's:
1. X/X JAPAN
2. LUNA SEA
3. girugamesh
4. MUCC
5. LM.C
6. Kuroyume or SADS (I can't decide!)
7. Versailles
8. RENTRER EN SOI
9. BUCK-TICK
10. abingdon boys school

No particular order but X Japan is my favourable
01. X Japan (Toshi, Hide, Taiji, Pata, Yoshiki)
- Queen
- Styx
- Glay (Japan)
- D'espairRay (Japan)
- Daizy Stripper (Japan)
- D'Erlanger (Japan)
- Europe (Sweden)
- Versailles (Japan)
- Trax (Korean, they had 2 songs composed by Yoshiki)
- KISS
- Alice Cooper
there are many more..cannot remember at the moment..

Its really hard for me to make such a list as it changes so often and I listen to an enormous amount of bands... As far as metal goes I just feel like posting X and Firewind..
@ Celtia
I like a lot of bands you've listed.. I suggest you check out Firewind, since I really like it and we sort of have similar taste in melodic/power metal.
