I love Bob Seger. Live Bullet is the greatest album ever, IMO. The "Travelin' Man/Beautiful Loser" medley blows me away every time I hear it, especially after some herbaceous stemroot.

Golden Earring is excellent as well.

I haven't been able to listen to Zeppelin since Page and Plant reunited and gave John Paul Jones the cold shoulder by not going ahead with a full Led Zep reunion. Plant's reasoning: "A million dollars divided by two is more than a million dollars divided by three."

Jones is a brilliant, completely underappreciated artist, and his collaberation with Diamonda Galas and his solo album Zooma are both pure genius.

Screw Page and Plant.

I agree that Jones is underated and under appriciated, but the reason they don't reunite is because Bonham is dead and the band is not complete without him.

The White Stripes are considered by many people, especially here in Europe for some reason, to be the best new American band for years and years. Their uniquely blues-based sound, their well-thought-out image, the entire single-guitarist-and-drummer thing has certainly helped (and set trends) but it's the quality of the song material that really make them stand out from others in the "new garage rock thingy" genre.

They first came to world prominence in the summer of 2001, a couple of months after the entire Strokes hype thing blew up and british music mags started writing about cool american bands again. The White Stripes, with their exaggerated nature and imagery fit right in originally, but have since become easily the most well-known and cherished band of the type.

Partially it's because of their leadership status in a new Detroit Rock scene that's sprouted loads of really cool new bands recently, all reasonably close to the White Stripes in sound: The Dirtbombs, The Detroit Cobras, The Soledad Brothers, The Electric 6 etc. The first three of those were featured together with The Stripes on a 2001 single-recording-session compilation called "Sympathetic Sounds of Detroit" which has become a bit of a bible for a lot of (mostly european) music fans.

The White Stripes have released four albums so far, of those I highly recommend their first one (self-titled) and the most recent one, Elephant. Both brilliant in very different ways.

I'd like to point out the fact that the above is an actual quote from Plant from when he was directly asked why Jones was not included in the Page/Plant tour. He was quite up front with his reasoning.

I agree that the band isn't complete without Bonham, but there was no reason the three couldn't have reunited, in some form. The economic formula Plant bluntly gives is pure crassness.

HOLY CRAP! SNAPCASE MAKES SENSE ABOUT MUSIC!

My world is collapsing.

Anyways, I've been listening to my White Stripes mp3's lately. I've known of them for some time, 'course, but it didn't really "hit" me until I happened to hear Seven Nation Army. Might even get their albums, at least when I get some money.

I think there should be a celebrity deathmatch between Jack Black and Jack White.

Also, at some point Frank Black and Barry White would hop in the ring. Yes.

The downside is that at least one of them would die.

I like just about everything classic rock, esp. what static u. mentioned about BoB seger and golden earring. Real big stones and beatles fan.

I like very little of the newer stuff these days. Tool, Radiohead, Godsmack. That's about it. Cant stand the white stripes or the strokes.

Evanescence
I wish there was a puking emoticon. Every song sounds exactly the same and just as whiny as the last.

If you like bands like that, check out Lacuna Coil. They actually have some talent (although sometimes when the guy sings it's bad).

She's okay.

She does the main vocals. There is another guy that does like a second set of vocals.

Yeah no doubt Buck.

I think in terms of innovativeness, rock hit the wall about 1969.

the White Stripes have been pretty big in the UK for a year or so now, not bad IMO (nothing a Dr Dre remix couldn't cure ) sure beats the current lot of British 'newcomers' depressing f$%kers!!!(you know who you are!!!)

i'm into heaver rock. Mudvayne, Spineshank, Slayer, et al. i draw the line at bands like Decide, where it's more screaming than music.

Linkin Parks new CD, meteora, rocks.

best. cd. ever.

not 1 crappy song on the entire cd (the japanese flute rap "nobody's listening" is probably the "worst", comparitively, but i still like it)

Mudvayne - World so Cold

when passion's lost
and all the trust is gone
way too far
for way too long
children crying
cast out and neglected
only in a world so cold
only in a world this cold...

hold the hand
of your best friend
look into their eyes
then watch them drift away
some might say
we've done the wrong things
for way too long
for way too long...

fever inside the storm
so i'm turning away...
away from the name
calling you names
away from the stones
throw sticks and stones
cause i'm through mending the wounds of us...

keep your thorns
bause i'm running away...
away from the games
****ing head games
away from the space
hate this head space
the circumstances of a world so cold...

burning whispers
remind me of the days
i was left alone
in a world this cold
guilty of the same things
provoked by the cause
i've left alone
in a world so cold...

fever inside the storm
so i'm turning away...
away from the name
calling you names
away from the stones
throw sticks and stones
cause i'm through mending the wounds of us...

keep your thorns
bause i'm running away...
away from the games
****ing head games
away from the space
hate this head space
the circumstances of a world so cold...

i'm flying
i'm flying away...
away from the names
calling your names
away from the games
****ing head games
the circumstances of a world so cold...

why does everyone
feel like my enemy
don't want any part of depression or darkness
i've had enough
sick and tired
bring the sun
or i'm gone
or i'm gone...

i'm backing out
i'm no pawn
no mother-****ing slave to this
never lied never left never lived never loved never lost never hurt
never worry about being me
or anyone else
not a care
no concern
don't give a **** about
anything...

backing out
giving up
no mother-****ing slave to this
never lied never left never lived never loved never lost never hurt
never worry about being me

i need to find
a darkened corner
a lightless corner
where it's safer and calmer

i'm turning away
away from the name
calling you names
away from the stones
throw sticks and stones
'cause I'm through mending the wounds of us

i'm running away...
away from the games
