Just thought I would start this off.

I like all of the above to a certain degree except for Techno/Industrial... I had to give my vote to 80's metal though. That is just a timeless era and great classic music that will last forever for us that grew up in that era and liked that kind of music.

Nice topic and poll. I hate to be a pain, but I'm going to have to choose a different category. I'm probably most drawn to R & B, although many other categories influence me, as well. I'm not much into techno, I prefer 70s rock to 80s, I can only take so much country (I suppose it's the western/folk I really don't care for), and rap/hip hop isn't really my thing. Dang, that's starting to sound like I don't like anything. I like good songs. How's that for specific? I suppose most people would say my own songs are contemporary Christian praise, and mostly they are, but I'm not sure that really describes their flavor. I'm rambling. I'll stop.

I missed the music discussions of the KHS I. I glad you mentioned Punk. I have always loved Punk music. It's roots are in R&B, it's sharp, it's intelligent (not always, thats what makes it smart sometimes), it can be fun, it can be thought provoking, and lastly almost all rock based music from the mid 70's on is touched by it. Now how's that for rambling.
I have a lot of punk favorites but I think one of my favorites is Loui Armstrongs "It's a wonderful world" done by the Joey Ramone and the Ramones. It was the last song he recorded before he died. He had cancer and knew he was going to die and I like to think he was telling his fans it was o.k.

Matt,
My wife and i got tickets to go to Nickleback for a wedding gift back in august. They did the same thing then with the Pantera, it was Awesome. Who opened for them??? We had hinder, Chevelle, and Three Days Grace, who will be the next great band in my opinion, they put on a great show. Nickleback rocked for us, we saw that concert in the Coors Ampitheater in Denver, small but loud. Im not a huge fan of Nickleback, but i was impressed with their concert.

I know we have this recurring conversation about the greatest rock band, but I have to say AC/DC has to be up there. My Dad and I just watched a DVD of the band and they flat out ROCK! I love a lot of bands, but for sure AC/DC is in the top 10.
Angus Young...what a stud!!!

I agree with you PLU. I think that AC/DC is the best rock band of all-time. A lot of my friends disagree with me and say that it is Led Zeppelin. I just think that when Brian Johnson took over as lead singer and they came out with the "Back in Black" album, they have been invincible ever since.Mike Nordin wrote:I know we have this recurring conversation about the greatest rock band, but I have to say AC/DC has to be up there.

I like early AC/DC a little better. Dirtier and more raw. However the energy of Johnson is awesome too.
I've never been a real big Zep fan. Don't get me wrong, I do like some of their stuff but I just never got into the mid-evil stuff Page was into. I actually liked Plant's post Zep stuff better.
Lately I've been listening to Pink Floyd, the Cars, U2, and the Matrix Soundtrack.
Oh, and All American Rejects. My daughters love'em, and I'm getting to like them too.

PLU, I just recently got U2 and The Cars Greatest Hits albums. They are both great bands... I also like the All-American Rejects as well. Also, as nerdy as it sounds I am a huge American Idol fan. Chris Daughtry from last season was the man. His band Daughtry's debut cd is really good and I listen to it frequently.

Ya, I checked out his video and it was pretty good. I usually wait awhile before downloading music. I like to wait so I have a pretty large list of wants and then pay the 10. bucks to download a ton, instead of paying the 10 buck monthly for only a couple of songs per month.

I downloaded all of Chris Daughtry's stuff too. Its pretty good...but I am totally a country girl at heart. I do have to admit to having an iPod playlist dedicated to hair bands, however!
Glad to see another American Idol fan hanging around. What in the world is going on with Sanjaya? My husband and I were talking about this tonight...I wonder if FOX is behind Votefortheworst.com. They've got 1/2 the country watching and voting because they love the show. And then there is a huge group of people watching and voting because they want to make a mockery of it? With that many people watching, its a win win for FOX. That makes sense, sort of, right?

Here's the downlow on Sanjaya. Howard Stern, shock jock, is telling all his listeners to vote for him because he is the worst singer. Each week he enlists more voters. In fact if you noticed he wasn't even in the bottom three.
I don't think he can win, but he will be around for awhile.
Simon Cowl said that if he does win the competition he is going to can the show because the show will have been corrupted.
I do watch the show but have never bought a single album from any past singer. However I will download Chris D. new song on my next binge.

I am also very happy to see some Idol fans on here. I love the show as well. You two are both right on with Sanjaya. I frequently visit votefortheworst.com just to see the things that people say about him etc. It is sad that so many people do that to keep him in the competition. Then Howard is even adding to the fire... I've heard that they were thinking about changing the voting this season to where America voted off the worst each week. This way the worst would get elimintated pretty much every week. However, they backed away from doing this as votefortheworst would probably just change to votethebestoff.com, which would be a total shame if they got enough people to vote the best off each week... I think Sanjaya will get booted in the next few weeks. Antonella and Sundance were both the votefortheworst.com picks earlier in the season and they both didn't have enough votes to move on... I won't be upset unless it comes to where Melinda, LaKisha, Jordin, or Blake (my final 4 prediction) get voted off and that little weasel is still there. If he makes it that far, America will be in an uproar!!!
P.S. I'm glad you have the hair band ipod playlist Jen.
