Ah but heavy metal, you can ONLY bang your head to, you can't do anything else. I've been refining my thoughts by sift playing things and asking how I'd categorise them. His criteria are very different. Maybe I'll do another post...
I just got frustrated trying to find a list of contemporary rock bands but even wiki let me down. Looks like it is about the sub-genres now. And bands can be in more than one which makes it even harder to define them. Especially when they themselves don't want to be shoved into a neat box.
My kind of rock band right now would be Green Day or Shinedown or Fall Out Boy or Linkin Park or even Imagine Dragons - but whether they class themselves as rock or something else...?

It is a great discussion. :)

I'll have a listen tomorrow and see whether I classify them as rock! We've just been going through a pile more stuff listening and deciding...
