So..you say pop isn\'t allowed, yet you list Linkin Park as one of your favorites? Don\'t you realize that Linkin Park is pop..?
My favorite bands are Orgy, Seether, Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam, Guns N Roses, U2, Soundgarden, Marilyn Manson, Stone Temple Pilots, Korn, Godsmack, Garbage, Filter, Chevelle, The Cure, Van Halen..
I used to love Metallica, and I still like their old stuff, but now they\'re washed up old men that can\'t write music. I only liked Van Halen when they had David Lee Roth as lead singer. I\'m quite selective with the music I listen to..with some bands I\'ll listen to everything they make (Stone Temple Pilots for example) but the others, I just like the old stuff and nothing more (U2 for example).
Actually, country isn\'t quite that bad as long as it\'s -real- country. The crap they make nowadays is pop music with a twang. That\'s not country music.
