Spike,

You're probably not going to get any responses to this "question". While the folks on this board have their light moments, thry're actually most concerned with weather, not bands. I wasn't gonna respond, but I'll throw you a bone...

To be honest with you, I've only heard of half of those groups....I, myself, like "dinosaur rock," ie the Stones, Beatles, Floyd...Deadhead at one time.

As for Metalica...great band, but they absolutely ruined things when they ruined the 'original' Napster. As if they didn't make enough money playing covers, they had to ruin the greatest thing since sliced bread. If you have no idea of what I'm speaking...well than power to Generation Z. (I guess I'm considered Gen X) which shows you how far we've come in the past 10 years.
