Saw the thread had to respond,
I'm in the same boat as most of you all.
Metallica (pre 2000 stuff excpet 'no leaf clover and - Human')
Joe, the Ibenez God, Satriani
Godsmack
Nickelback
The musical stylings of what ever band Mark Tremonti is in at the moment.
Motley Crue, The post David Lee Roth VanHalen, Ratt, G'n'R, Velvet Revolver, some Rush, The Cult, a few of the 80's hair band's in small doses.
Some others but I'm picky about having some musical content in the songs.
I'm sure there is more but I have so much music available to me it's hard to pick just a few. I'll say this I have not purchased much music in this decade. My last CD was a Joe Satriani Compliation CD, before that it was a Nickelback's latest. There is not that much that interests me lately in full CD form. Ya a song here or there but that's about it. I can't stand the "American Idol" crap that is on the radio. I am about fed up with the same 7 "Classic Rock" tuns that are in rotation on the radio. I'd rather hear classical music over the Hip-hop/Rap garbage that seems to be infecting today's youth. I would like to find popular bands with singers who can write and musicians that can really play. I music from over 800 different artists here I can choose from. Surely something is up my alley at the moment.
End of rant.
