Majority of people I talk to about "Metal" normally have no idea what it is and are therefore (although they might think otherwise) not metalhead. Far too many teenagers hanging out at the pop punk shows (which have gotten really popular lately around here  ) throwin up horns like it's allowed. |
What if there is a higher level of Metaldom above you that makes you look like those "metalheads" compared to the above "Metalheads?"
How would you have any way of knowing!?

Either Weezer or Between the Buried and Me. Hands down, those are the bands I'm currently listening to the most.

Those are 2 pretty different groups to say the least haha.
For me it's gotta be Opeth or Porcupine Tree, both are just too epic for words.

currently my favorite bands would have to be between Arsonists Get All the Girls (nintendo-core) and Bright Eyes (folk-rock, emo).
I even use Arsonists Get All the Girls song "Zombies Ate my Neighbors" as my theme song |

| Metallica, Van Halen, and Megadeth. Win bands. Metallica wasn't the best during the Load, ReLoad, and St. Anger eras. Death Magnetic impressed me. |

The Beatles, no contest.
There's the bands I like, the bands I hate, and The fucking Beatles.
Every Beatles song (and I mean this literally), is a pleasure unlike anything else I can or ever will experience with rock music, or even all music.
I consider A Day in the Life to be one of the greatest pieces of art in modern times. And some of their songs actually bring tears to my eyes, not of sadness, but of just sheer enjoyment. And when it's not that severe, a lot more of their music gives me shivers down my spine. I fucking LOVE The Beatles.
...I also like Iron Maiden, Megadeth, Rush, and Queen >_>

I could not possibly agree with this post more.
THE FUCKING BEATLES. They are sacred to me. And i know what you mean about some of their stuff actually bringing tears to my eyes. Whenever i get to the guitar solo in Let It Be, I feel completely care free and absolutely wonderful.
I can not even imagining getting through my days without listening to atleast an hour of The Beatles.
I have every Beatles song on my Ipod (minus duplicate versions), and it is literally all I listen to.
And a Day in the Life is an absolute masterpiece. I listen to it every morning. Possibly the greatest song every recorded.
THE FUCKING BEATLES!
..I also like Iron Maiden, Rush, Sabbath, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, Nirvana, and Aerosmith |

My favorite band's changed a lot the last year or so. It's been between Dream Theater, Muse, Megadeth, and Between the Buried and Me for the top spot in my mind. And luckily they all released new albums in 2009. 
But, I now say that Between the Buried and Me is my favorite band at the moment. The Great Misdirect is just too epic for words IMO and seeing them live in concert last Friday only solidified that viewpoint of BTBAM being incredible. Their songwriting, musicianship, songwriting, energy, and oh did I say songwriting, is just unbelievable and wows me every time.
Besides BTBAM here are some other bands that are in my favorites.
Dream Theater
Megadeth
Muse
Slayer
Metallica
Tool
Iron Maiden
The Offspring
Primus
The Smashing Pumpkins
Obituary
Alice in Chains

I'm sure someone considers Metallica their favorite artist and dislikes some of their catalog of music.
| Quote: | | You should buy their stuff. |
With technology today, people don't necessarily have to buy music to enjoy it or have a favorite artist.
| Quote: | | They should be original. |
If by original, you mean "this artist definitely exists and is not fabricated by my mind", then yes. People are free to love whatever artist they want, the concept of originality is subjective. Also, I'm sure people love [artist name removed to prevent flaming]. 
| Quote: | | They should be well-established (at least have a CD out) |
I think this goes without saying, but I suppose if you really enjoyed some local artist that plays gigs but hasn't collected enough cash to put out an EP or LP, it would contradict this requirement.
I guess what I'm getting at is this; there really aren't any strict guidelines that define a favorite artist for everyone out there. What you do may work for you, and not for someone else.
That said, I should probably contribute to this thread's topic. My favorite(based mainly on my listening habits) is AFI. It's hard to definitively say "This artist is my favorite." because there are so many things to like about so many different artists, and that's what makes the world of music so amazing and fun to explore.

1. Nobody in their right mind would consider Metallica their favorite band.
2 part one. If a certain band is your favorite, why would you want to steal from them?
2 part two. You can't illegally download T-shirts, Hoodies, etc.
3. Where'd you pull that definition for original from? A band that is original puts their own take on music as opposed to writing uninspired or music that's exactly the same as music that someone wrote before them.
4. This last point has some lee-way because of course there are some really good local bands out there that may only have a DEMO out or something (like Valdyr ^^), but if your favorite band is completely unknown, you're going to have some annoyance having to explain who they are each time you bring them up. But yeah, you can love a band no matter what amount of material they put out.
5. I guess what I'm getting at is that people that claim to have a favorite band should have a way of showing it besides saying "Yeah, I have their songs on my ipod that were put there for free by undisclosed means . they are good"
