    Still hanging on to the 90's? It's hard for me to let go also. I do have some newer bands I like, but I know there will never be a span of four years in my life with so many great bands and albums as 1991-1995. 1995 might have been the pinnacle of rock greatness. I love all of those bands you mentioned except Tool. For some reason I was never able to really get into them. But I'd still listen to them before probably 95% of the new stuff on mainstream rock radio.

    Gov't Mule,not sure if anyone mentioned them or not but I don't know why more PJ fans aren't into them,Great singer/guitarist(Warren Haynes),great rockin songs,great ballads,great solo's,different set every night,kind of sounds like I'm describing some other band we all like.

    come to think of it they do! Devy (singer/guitarest) also seems like a hilarious serial killer in concert:

    The Stills - Because I miss Echo and the Bunnymen
    Death Cab For Cutie (Plans) - Pop album genius
    Joseph Arthur - Best Singer Songwriter alive today
    The Long Winters (Ultimatum) - uh...wow
    Michael Franti and Spearhead (Stay Human)- You think Ed fights the system? THIS is a protest album

    My Morning Jacket gets honorable mention because "Z" is going to be the album of the year in many (reputable) magazines...and it's great!

    "I try my best to chug, stomp, weep, whisper, moan, wheeze, scat, blurt, rage, whine, and seduce. With my voice I can sound like a girl, the boogieman, a Theremin, a cherry bomb, a clown, a doctor, a murderer. I can be tribal. Ironic. Or disturbed. My voice is really my instrument."
