Megadeth happens to be one of my personal favorites, they got a bad rap in the city I live in with the local powerhouse radio station that controls most of the aqdvertising and sponsership..Soo..I dont get to hear them on the radio, and they rarily make an appearence..at least I have every single CD they put out..LoL

Metal, is at the top of the list, but I also listen to 60's stuff and Alternative.. I can pretty much listen to almost anything as long as it is NOT RAP..Cant stand Rap..never could...Never will..

Thats it for me,
Zero.

damn, pretty much what Spyder said ( - a very few), but throw in Aerosmith, Alan Parsons Project, April Wine, Blue Rodeo, Bon Jovi, Bryan Adams, Creed, Def Leppard, Harem Scarem, Ian Thomas, Jeff Healey, Our Lady Peace, Styx, Saga - and Paul Stanley doing the Phantom of the Opera - sbg, don't know if you ever saw him do the Phantom; he didn't have the vocal range, but what he lacked, he went over the top in, for lack of a better word, "eerieness" (I know it's not a word LOL) - man, talk about chills!

You can always tell a Canadian by their music tastes LOL

Rage Against The Machine


I went to High School with Tommy Morello(not sure if he goes by Tommy anymore}.

It's funny, because his band in high school was kind of considered a dork band.

My last four acquisitions should give you a limited insight: 1) Bathory - Nordland; 2) My Dying Bride - As the Flower Withers; 3) Borknagar - Epic; and 4) Dimmu Borgir - Death Cult Armageddon.

Limited because it doesn't tell you if those cd's are any good and limited because I listen boat loads of House/Electro and like Reggae as well. I just don't buy those cd's.
