I've barely heard of, let alone listened to any of the 'in' bands. Its all about jazz for me. My current iPod status is 5%/95% classical/jazz. Little else.

Hm, a man with taste, J Dawg (though a bit more classical couldn't hurt )

Im with Dawg, no current bands for me either, bluegrass, and 70's bands

Wow, really strange to look back and see what i was into just only a year ago.

I must admit, NIN's The Great Below still screws with my head, but most of the stuff i listened to then is really sorta... outdated. They're still great tracks, but its just strange to think that other songs on that list weren't higher up.

But time has passed, and bands have changed, evolved (or devolved), Concerts and shows have been played, albums released.

The question facing today's musicians is no longer "Whats something so innovative that no one else has heard, because it will just end up being not music. random noise, which snobby critics will call art.

Bands now have the trouble of standing out in a culture which hates innovation or deviation from the norm, but 10-20 years down the track will herald them as 'influential'.

I don't care if my favourite bands dont release new stuff, i just care if they rock the god damn house. If a band has an entertaining show, with decent music, then i'll be happy. Either that or be too screwed up to actually be liked in any way (see Richard D. James, AKA: Polygon Window, AFX, Aphex Twin. god damn that music screws with my head. David Firth isnt helping either)

But yeah, a small list of artists i'm into now:

Queens of the Stone Age - I cant describe why, But Queens have got something about them, something that seems to never get tired. I could listen to it all the time.

Aphex Twin - If you can listen to this and not either go "WTF is this!?" or "This is ****ed up. But in a good way" you need help. David Firth used his song Milkman in one of his animations: *WARNING: This is not for children, the elderly or anyone doing shrooms or acid. It is really 'upside your head' No complaints.* Milkman By David Firth
(Firth also does Salad Fingers)

Save The Robot - Psychedelic Trance which will make your head explode with awesomeness.

RATM - I'm still into these awesome anti authoritarian rockers, even if they don't exsist anymore.

I'm Rick James, *****.

Greenday are better, but personaly right now Fall Out Boy are my favorites

Nothing is impossible. Just improbable.

Ah, I'm glad I've matured byond them. They both do suck horribly. Notice 95% of the people who like Linkin Park and Green Day are 12 and under? I was just born with a slight immaturity (before you laugh, one in about ten people has it and it could have just as easily been you instead of me.) As far as knowledge and intellect goes, I am actually pretty far above average for my age, but my maturity level was about three or four years behind.

I have outgrown my old pair of pants. Thank God! I really didn't like the coloring and floral patterns on them.

Alright folks, enough flamming and back on the music topic, or this gets locked,

Bah! Say what you like Chippy...You know my musical taste "pWnz" You're just jealous that you can't afford to build up a close to 400 CD collection like I have...Poor Chippy...*hands chippy a peanut*

Killa, I edited the bad parts out of your post And I deleted the posts after it which only had to do with your posts. Hope you like the new one

I would go with Green Day

Yeah but I'm not sure if I take any advice from Top-Gun

I've never heard of either of them! other than being popular American musical combinations for teenagers, I don't really know anything about them. Other than its some sort of soft modern metal/rap mix, that is. Oh well whoever they are, I won't like them

dont have a peference im sure either could do a decent job supporting zep naz lizzy skynyrd maiden etc though as long as it isnt too big a venue for them :p
