Lefty - don't listen to Virgin mate, it's poison.

The Chili's have become rather over-exposed of late and for a fan of 10+ years, it's a little hard to take - y'know 70,000+ crowds - not for me. I love the current stuff, but give me a Brixton Acme gig any day.

2. Led Zeppelin
3. Guns N Roses
4. AC/DC
5. Supertramp

Top 5 bands????

1 - Dream Theater
2 - Led Zeppelin
3 - SRV and Double Trouble
4 - Iron Maiden
5 - Dave Matthews Band
6 - The Eagles (I have six bands in my top five)

another mixed bag - I like a variety of music with two exceptions:

- I hate opera - the over the top vocal vibrato makes my teeth hurt.
- I dislike strongly most NuMetal except System of a Down, Disturbed and Godsmack who all show promise)
- OK, three exceptions - "Smooth Jazz" - give me a break. Jazz is radical, rebillious, progressive musical rule breaking by highly skilled musicians, not easy listening!

I'm kindof opinionated.

This is a tough call. So many great bands. These are the artists I have the most CD's of.


Foo Fighters - Dave Grohl is a god

Red Hot Chili Peppers - So much talent and so awesome they can grow

Weezer - Fell off a little after pinkerton but still an awesome bank

Our Lady Peace - The most underrated rock bands ever. All thier albums kick ass, especially the ones that weren't succesful in the states (ie. spiritual machines).

Stone Temple Pilots - Tiny music is my favorite. Too bad they couldn't get along.

The Presidents of the United State of America - Great catchy poppy riffs

OAR - I first heard thier live album last November, within a month I had all thier albums.

Incubus - A glimmer of hope in this dim era of rock

That's my list of my top bands that are good and stuff.......
