I can't resist plugging a local act here in Champaign-Urbana. In my opinion one of the best guitar rock bands around: Hum. You've probably heard their hit, "Stars," recently on a Cadillac commercial. Check out this early song of theirs (ignore the poem at the beginning).

They were a one hit special it seems. What happened to them?

Yeah, they were pretty much a one hit wonder. Three of the four still live here in C-U, while the drummer married, became a pharmacist and moved out of town. They play reunion shows every several years though. Matt Talbott, the lead singer, owns a recording studio here and started a new band called, Centaur. Jeff Dimpsey, the bassist, helped form the band, National Skyline, and just recently, Gazelle. Tim Lash, the other guitarist, recorded an album with a former member of Love Cup; they called themselves, Glifted.

Well, Iron and Nickel are pretty nice.


Thousand Foot Krutch

Harder - Blue Cheer
Softer - King crimson

Led Zeppelin
Steppenwolf
Black Sabbath
Deep Purple

I like metal. Mastodon is my favourite metal band at the moment by far. I also enjoy Devin Townsend and all side projects, ISIS, Daughters, Pig Destroyer, Meshuggah and The Dillinger Escape Plan. I like it mathy, drony and epic.

Come on man, honer those who set the standard. Blue Cheer set the mark high.

Sorry. I just can't. They are soooo terrible.

Darv, you should checkout Devon's' Punky Bruster.

These threads always confuse me, what do you guys define as metal?
Anything that's outside the "Alternative" section of your C.D stores?

Currently really enjoying some of the older albums I have that I haven't listened to in a while:

Dimmu Borgir
In Flames
Katatonia
Strapping Young Lad
Rammstein
Enter My Silence (Remote Controlled Scythe is one of their best, IMO)
Slipknot
System of A Down
Tenacious D
Coheed and Cambria (This guy's head is going to explode... Too much going on there)
Deftones

Metalocalypse!

Machine Head
Slayer
Mudvayne
Meshuggah
Pantera
Snot
Slipknot (new album due in September!)
Fantômas
Godsmack
Sepultura
Metallica (pre Load)
Fear Factory
Tool

Do you remember:

Black Oak Arkansas
Ted Nugent

Although they were probably a precursor to Metal. Seems we called it Hard Rock in those days.

Also:

The Smothers Brothers
Sonny and Cher
The Cowsills

These concerts were all about Bic lighters in the air and doing beer bongs and shotguns.
