Pure rock. Metallica. Master Of Puppets is, in my opinion their best album. I dont mind those 'vote anarchy' groups like Incubus but hey to each his own.

I like Metallica too, I agree Master of Puppets is one of their greatest opus(And Justice is very good as well). The only problem is how much James Hetfield is a fagget, I can't stand him, I hate him to death. Actually I mostly like Kirk Hammet, this guy is insane,he is one of the best musician in the past 20 years in my opinion.

rock is too broad a category, so to narrow it down some... Metal - Tool <> Classic Rock - i have to go with Led Zeppelin on this, but theres so many others that could take it...<> straight up ballz to the wall Rock N Roll - Guns N Roses (im stoked to hear the new Velvet Revolver cd) <> punk - Bad Religion, not even close <> rap - Jurassic 5, again, not even close <> emo - should all die, but Something Corporate has some good stuff <> grunge - Pearl Jam <> blues - i love Stevie Ray Vaughan but i hate to say he's the best ive heard. definately my favorite tho. <> Favorite Band of All Time ... Pearl Jam. <> gotta mention some bands here.... Orgy, 311 nobody can sound like these guys, they have their own style that i havent heard anybody be able to copy halfway decently

My favourit bands are:
Dope
linkin park
evanescence
slayer
incubus

I just downloaded the entire discography of Metallica and my fucking computer died. taking up 2gb of space for the entire collection. Im going to burn them when A: I pick up my burner and B: when my fucking computer is working again.

grunge:nirvana

Metal:Metallica (for awesome solos) or fear factory(awesome combination of voice and instraments) its a tough one

Punk: the LINE

Rap: beastie boys

Rock:led zepplelin

Korn, Slipknot, Lincoln Park, Good Charolotte, Blink 182, Sum 41 and all those style of bands are NOT, I repeat NOT, punk bands. Punk bands are bands not signed to a major label, and perform for the love of the music, not to meet stipulations of a record contract. That's not to say you can't make money at it, it just depends how you do it. DIY or die. The above bands are classified under the 'pop punk', 'pussy punk' or 'alternative'. ;)

As for my favourites:

punk: Social Distortion, Misfits (pre 1984), Dead Kennedys (pre reunion without Jello Biafra), NOFX, The Exploited, CRASS, early Bad Religion, early Green Day, various local acts, Rancid, Ramones, New York Dolls, Dead Boys, Suicide, Iggy and The Stooges, etc
Country: Hank Williams, Slim Whitman, the first half of Johnny Cash's career, Hank Snow, some Dolly Parton
hardcore: Snapcase, Terror, Hatebreed
other: Nirvana, The Cramps, Stray Cats, Alice in Chains, The Rolling Stones, Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, The Velvet Underground, Agoraphobic Nosebleed, Brian Setzer, Carly Simon, Anal Cunt, Macabre, NIN, Marilyn Manson (Antichrist and prior), RHCP....

Ah, Plastic Jesus -Jello Biafra & Mojo Nixon

Ah, the perils of of free tunes. My heart's bleedin' for ya dude. Just bleedin'

I thought I was a little ahead of my peers by giving up the dino-rock music I grew up on, but this thread's opened my eyes big time. Never mind bands I've never heard of, there are apparently entire musical genres I've never heard of! Hopefully hanging around this forum will fix that up a bit.

Favourites... I've been getting pretty heavy into the alt-country ever since I got high speed and WinMx running. In no particular order: Tom Waits, Fred Eaglesmith, Wilco, Richard Thompson, Blackie & The Rodeo Kings, Replacements, Steve Earle, Meat Puppets, David Lindley, Warren Zevon, Ry Cooder, Gillian Welch & David Rawlings, Jim White, Los Lobos, Whiskeytown, Colin James, Joe Jackson, Emmylou Harris, Bottle Rockets.

If you're into any of these bands, please feel free to PM with some of your suggestions to look into. I'm having the time of my life filling up my iPod with new and great tunes. Hell, I'm even thinking of having it surgically implanted into my head!

I siad fuck the Metallica Discography and reDLing it., I just nailed the Slayer discograpghy

Holiday In Cambodia, where you'll kiss ass or crack....-Dead Kennedys.

"They're scuffing up the side of my car
They're shooting out my tires
This aint no way to go to heaven
Buzzbomb cornerd at the 7-11

Let go of me motherfucker I wanna live by my rules!

Buzzbomb from Pasadena-Dead Kennedys.

I just listened to that song. It's awesome, but not as good as Terminal Preppy. The intro to that makes me want to kick someone's head in. I love that song.

Thanks, Noah. Some of those are new names to me.

Have you checked out the Jeff Tweedy "Lounge Ax" solo stuff? Those are some of my favourite live recordings. There are actually some catchy little melodic tunes under all that beautiful noise he makes!

Yeah, some of the Lounge Ax stuff is just too noise-ish for me, but there are some really good gems in there as well, like" Good chinese apple" and "rock,salt and nails." If you like Tweedy's more experimental stuff, you might wanna check out his work on the "Chelsea Wells (or is it Walls?)" soundtrack.
