Oh yes!! Lets not forget the classics! I also have been delving into the wonderfull euphoria that is Led Zeppelin. I agree w/ you Gad... Music always has roots, and we do need to aknowledge them! I def agree w/ all on your list gad.
Renzor did a song w/ bowie?? That is awesome....
Which brings me to my next point. Nine Inch Nails. This is a great band that will live forever in my head. The rythms and chaotic lyrics that they spew have staying power and can entrance for hours. Good call by(cant remember) for alice in chains! Dirt is one of my fav. albums! I wake up to it every morning.. its on my alarm that i have, dem bones is wakin me up every a.m. Its a shame Layne is gone

Same w/ a lot of other rock talent.... snuffed out too early.
