I guess Deep Purple does qualify as my favourite non-metal band. They're real great.

Many people here seem to have misread the question.
NOT Metal or Heavy Rock.
And most importantly: WHY?

I like a lot Natalie Imbruglia, don't ask me why, i just feel she's a talented musician, with very good looks... [!--emo&--][img src=\'style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/biggrin.gif\' border=\'0\' style=\'vertical-align:middle\' alt=\'biggrin.gif\' /][!--endemo--]
I also like No-man very much. It's the pop project of Porcupine Trees' Steve Wilson. It's very melodic, and pretty complex, but still accesible. I use it to impress girls with my sensibility.

The Exploited for their great attitude, and Wattie Buchan's accent.
The Police for their great attitude and Stewart Copeland's drumming.
Depeche Mode for their great attitude and Dave Gahan's voice.

I like a lot of things that could be called metal but is.
Especially emo.
Stuff like Hawthorne Heights, My Chemical Romance, Alexisonfire...
But my favourite song right now is Francis Dunnery's 'Good Life'.
And I can't put that into a genre, i suppose.

I can't stand the emo category in general, but I won't dismiss individual band that are classified as "emo."
My Chemical Romance, AFI, and Jimmy Eat World are all great bands, and all have some emo elements to them. Though I hate the "culture" surrounding MCR and AFI. And I hate their lead singers, specially Davey Havok.
JEW is great, though.
My favorite band of all time is They Might Be Giants. They're really screwed up in the head, but their music is catchy as hell and they can't be accused of being sellouts. If you've ever heard "Particle Man," "Experimental Film," (there's a pretty hilarious animated music video of it here), or "I Palindrome I," you'll get a good idea of their style. In their early days, they used a drum machine and a MIDI keyboard. Cheesy but it worked, and they were never accused of being unoriginal.
My favorite punk band as of now is Flogging Molly. They combine the melody of Irish Folk with the energy of Punk Rock, and honestly the result is fantastic. I've only heard a couple FM songs I didn't like. Sometimes their music even sounds like country, which I'm also fond of, but don't let that turn you off--mostly it's all celtic.
I'm also fond of Yellowcard, something I never thought I'd like. The violin provides a nice backup to all of their songs, and I'm simply not interested in their new album because the violin takes a back seat to standard punk instruments--in short, they're trying to copy Green Day now. But damn, that Ocean Avenue was a good album.
I could go into the Beatles, Queen, Pink Floyd, etc. but everyone likes them.

I listen to a lot of instrumental jazz and blues. Stevie Ray Vaughan and (the very unknown) Brazilian jazz guitarist Rodrigo Alvesare two of many favourites. I really like the mood of the music, the diversity and complexity.

Most of the stuff I listen to is Classic Rock (I'm not really fan of metal apart from Sabbath and Maiden), so my favourite bands are The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, Pink Floyd - stuff like that.
I also really like Cypress Hill, Dr. Dre and various shit like that.

My favorite non-metal band is Dream Theater. Scenes from a Memory has become one of my favorite albums, although I did not like it very much at first.
[/quote]
Since when is Dream Theater "non-metal"? They sure sound like metal to me.
In my case, I guess you can just look at my top-10 artists overall to get a sense of what I listen to. Other than metal and classical, I also listen to alot of jazz, blues, as well as "world" music -- especially Brazilian and Turkish. Artistwise: Miles Davis and John Coltrane; Clapton, SRV and the Allman Bros.; Chico Buarque, Marisa Monte and Maria Rita; Fikret Kizilok, Sertab and Erkan O?ur.
(I've only been on LastFm for a couple of weeks now, so most of these artists haven't shown up yet.)
