I've always found black metal laughably bad aside from a few bands.

Solefald
Rotting Christ
Ludicra
Cradle Of Filth (are still better than Xasthur will ever be)
Scholomance
Aker****e
Old Man's Child
Weakling
Silencer
Alcest (though something about them seems more doom than black to me)

I like Ulver when they're not playing black metal, but find their black metal to be awful.

Arcturus seem a bit too avant garde to toss in with black metal but I like them a bit.

Bathory's viking metal stuff

Viking metal in general, though I hate lumping it in with black metal because of how awesomely folky it can be.
