Might I suggest you post the same question over at Headwize and Head-Fi. Those forums are dedicated headphone enthusiasts.
The lower end Grados are great for rock music and can be had for less than $150. You can even step into used better models pretty reasonably as well. Both the forums above, especially Head-Fi, have a great for sale section.
Sennheisers are really good for jazz, classical, and so forth IMO.
I personally have a set of AKG-240S cans that I like and run about $100.
I bought my wife a pair of Sennheiser HD280's and like those pretty well. My initial impression was that the bass was a little underwhelming, but it does go plenty deep. This was based on listening to an iPod. Since then, they seem really nice, just a little different than the other cheap Koss I use. The cusions are a littel stiff, though. Another option are Sony MDR 7506's. Similar design, same price ($99), supposedly good reputation. Haven't tried them. Chris
