From your list:
My Chemical Romance - only have heard 2 songs, I like "The Ghost Of You" much more than "I'm Ok"
Good Charlotte - I saw them in concert in early 2001 and have their first CD (which I hardly listen to); other than that, a couple of other songs were ok (I do like "I Just Wanna Live", though)
Sum 41 - I like a few songs, but the only one that really stands out is "Hell Song"
Thursday - Only mildly like one of their songs
Taking Back Sunday - Pretty much same situation as Thursday
Senses Fail - See above
Under oath - I haven't really heard anything from them, but I doubt I'd find something I'd like
Yellowcard - I got a few of their songs before they really exploded, and they were ok then, but I can barely stand listening to them now
Green Day - I like a lot of Green Day's material
Story of The Year - I like a couple of songs I've heard from them
Mest - Saw them live at Warped '03; great show
Blink 182 - I especially like their newest album, but their older stuff is good too. Lots of good memories associated with it.
The Killers - I've liked what I've heard so far.
Switchfoot - I'm kind of tired of them now, to be honest.
The Used - Same situation as Switchfoot
Metallica - Lots of great stuff; to be more specific, I like most of what they did
before St. Anger. Even if I can't say the same for their other *cough* causes.
Muse - Couple of ok songs, I guess
Evanescence - See above. I do really like "Anything For You" though.
Chevelle - Same as Muse and Evanscence
Jet - I've liked what I've heard so far.
Hoobastank - I liked them better before "The Reason". I can't stand that song.

The Exies -
; I have both
Inertia and
Head For The Door
Godsmack - Can't stand them
The Vines - I like their sound, but not necessarily all of the songs I've heard.

Drowning Pool - Only a couple of songs I've liked; "Bodies" and that one from
The Punisher soundtrack

Damage Plan - Haven't heard anything from them
Cky - Same situation as Damage Plan
Bowling For Soup - I've seen them live twice (at Warped '03 and '04), and got some stuff signed at '03; I've liked what I've heard
Atreyu - Same situation as Damage Plan and Cky, but I'm not into metalcore (or whatever it is they play), so it's highly unlikely I'll willingly listen to them
AFI - Saw them live at Warped '03; great show
Beastie Boys - I like their 80s material more than the stuff they put out now
Velvet Revolver - They're ok; I like STP and GnR more, though.

Hot Rod Circuit - I've only heard one song by them, but that one was cool.
The Benjamins - Never heard of them
Finch - I like a couple of their songs

Dashboard Confessional - I like "Screaming Infidelities" (even with that weird line at the end), "Hands Down", and "Vindicated", but that's it.
Fuel - I like the stuff from
Sunburn the most; "Shimmer" is a great song
Ozzy - I like "Crazy Train" and "Changes" (although "Changes" is actually Black Sabbath, but meh); I can't remember any others off the top of my head.
Sugarcult - Saw them live at Warped '04; [thumbs up smilie]
Static X - I've liked what I've heard, but that's only a few songs
Staind - I like a few songs, but I generally turn the radio off when they come on
Soundgarden - "Rusty Cage" is a great song; I wish I could remember more of
their song titles right now, though
Soil - Haven't heard anything from them I've liked.
Smut Puppies - Never heard anything from them; I don't even know if I've even heard of them before - the name seems familiar, though
Smile Empty Soul - I only like a couple of their songs
Slipknot - "Wait and Bleed", "Duality", and "Vermillion, Part 2" is about the extent of it; otherwise I can't stand them
Silverchair - It's been too long since I've heard them to think if I might like them now, but I couldn't stand them then
Shinedown - Only heard a couple of their songs
The Sex Pistols - I like their style, but I've only heard a few songs; most of them I've liked, though
Saliva - So overplayed for a couple years there that I can hardly stand listening to them now
P.O.D - Almost the same situation as Saliva, but not quite so bad
Pantera - Never heard anything from them I've liked
Incubus - I like quite a few of their songs
Linkin Park - I have
Hybrid Theory and
Meteora, and those are good albums (some of the stuff on

InFlames - Never tried listening to them
Seether - Only like a couple of songs
Coheid and Cambria - "A Favor House Atlantic" and "Blood Red Summer" are all I've heard from them; I spent the time during their set at Warped '04 getting smothered by the crowd surrounding the horrible ticket-system booth at the front of Vinoy Park, which was near the stage they were on, but I wasn't about to focus on listening when I felt like I was going to collapse from heat exhaustion.
The Offspring - I have
Americana and
Conspiracy Of One, and love most of the earlier material I've heard
The Clash -
Nirvana - I only like a few songs by them
Motley Crue - I have a weakness for glam metal, Mötley Crüe included
MxPx - I saw them live in early 2001 (Good Charlotte opened for them); I like a few of their songs
Marilyn Manson - "The Dope Show" and the cover of "Tainted Love" are about all I can stand; I'm not sure about "I Don't Like The Drugs"
Puddle of Mudd - Seriously overplayed, but tolerable compared to most of the other bands of 'Alternative' Rock radio.
Insane Clown Posse - A couple of their songs are ok, but mostly they just get on my nerves
Breaking Benjamin - Aside from "So Cold" (which I'm pretty much sick of), I don't really care much for them
Chronic Future - Only heard one song; they remind me of The Gorillaz.
Future Leaders of The World - Never heard anything by them; not entirely sure if I've heard of them before
Crossfade - Can't hardly stand them; "Cold" was ok when it first came out, but wore off
really quickly.
