I wasn’t trying to slam Coldplay, there’s just something about them that grates on my nerves, and I can’t even place it. That’s OK though, cause I love the All American Rejects and I know that they grate on a lot of other peoples nerves.
Houston to Abilene though, if it’s anything like the drive from Dallas to Abilene, not fun! Try Dallas to Los Angeles, even less fun!
I’ve been ripping some old cds over to my 'puter and ran across this gem…some peripheral relevance to the recent dustup in Copycat’s thread. Anyway Rush is mighty awesome.
Damn, how could I forget Rush? Definitely one of my all time favorites and the band that I’ve seen live more than any other: 5 times now. I saw them play last year around this time: No warm up band, just 2 1/2 hours of pure Rush and Getty Lee pouring his heart out, with about a 15 minute break halfway through.
I really like the style they came into in the 80’s. I like their earlier stuff too, but from 1981’s Moving Pictures to 1989’s Presto, I don’t think they put out a single song that I didn’t like.
I love how Rush imparts such strong messages and meaning in their music.
Here’s a couple of my favorites:
Rush - Countdown. Their song recanting a live shuttle launch they witnessed at Cape Canaveral
Renny, you’re an amazing creature!
copycat
haha, I mostly listen to metal (gothic, heavy, hardcore, symphonic, rock). other than that, i listen to electronica, rock, europop, 80’s music, dance.
I reckon that means you’re well adjusted!
yay! i don’t know what you mean 
my all time fave band Metallica
Major props to both renny and mark for mentioning Rush. I’d list them too, if only out of loyalty nowadays. They were “my band,” along with several others, all through my early teenage years (I still have the letter I received from Neil Peart when I was 11).
