Let's get some inspiration!
I primarily played 80's heavy metal, like Metallica, Megadeth and Slayer, plus a bit of Black Sabbath. Some classic rock, too. Don't get me wrong, I was never that good at it as I didn't dedicate the time to learning the proper techniques like I should have and I never took any lessons, but I could still get through a number of less complicated songs fairly well.
I've never tried playing bass, though I imagine it would have been pretty fun, as well.
I wouldn't get hung up on technique. I still think I should take some proper lessons to get rid of the bad habits and shortcuts I've picked up - mostly because I'm left handed, but trying to play like a righty (aka Joe Strummer style). Bottom line: Left hand is too quick for the right, which has trouble some times even finding the correct strings. Leads to a lot of hammer on/offs when I should be picking (I cheat).
Some days you're on, some days not so much... lol
