For me it is the Hooters. I think they have been unfairly lumped in there with the Bryan Adams and Thompson Twins caliber bands. I liked them the first time I heard "And We Danced" and haven't looked back. For those of you too young to remember, these guys came out in the mid 1980's. Yikes!

    Well, a girl's gotta eat! Really, neither one is serious, just kind of passing time. Don't judge me though, I'm truly a nice girl!

    98% of my friends hate metal..and that is pretty much all I listen too!

    I am turning some of them though.

    For me, it's Soundgarden. I don't know, a lot of ppl just think that they either "have songs that are too slow," "had only one good song: Black Hole Sun," or that "Cornell has a bad voice." Yeah, and I think me saying that Cornell could easily outperform Robert Plant didn't help my case much either. But hey, I've heard just about everything Zeppelin ever did, and as much as I love Robert Plant, CHRIS CORNELL WAS THE SHIT BACK IN THE DAY!!!

    My girlfriend hates Son Volt (or any band Jay Farrar sings in) and Ryan Adams. They're two of my favorites too. I can't think of any friends that hate anything though. Pretty much every one I know learns to at least respect artists I listen to on a regular basis.
    Using the word "methinks" in your message board posts doesn't make you look smart.

    Its hard to say cuz I have lots of different friends of different ages and wayyy different tastes. I was about to say Alice in Chains but then I remembered I have a teacher friend who likes them. I guess I got it pretty good lol.
    I've faced it, a life wasted, and I'm never going back again.

    Some die just to live.

    by you saying this, you're kinda implying that you date 2 guys that dont like pearl jam, but you're also dating some guys that do. whats going on here, red? or are you gonna pull the pearl jam "we dont talk about our personal lives" on here stuff? you've opened up a pandora's box. jk
    p.s.--nice birthday

    Definitely and sadly...PEARL JAM...:(. That's the big one.

    Oh well, they're missing great music.

    Others are:

    Led Zeppelin
    Neil Young
    Bob Dylan
    Deftones
