[Powerslave]

First, the heavy:
Iron Maiden (betcha couldn't guess that one!), Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Metallica (the new album is the worst piece of crap I've heard in a while, however), Anthrax, Rammstein, Ministry, Static-X, L7, and Overkill.

Then the alternative (at least, at one time):
REM, Weezer, Presidents of the USA, Nirvana, Ween, They Might Be Giants, Primus, Hum, and Radiohead.

The eighties:
Blondie, Men At Work, Duran Duran, Elvis Costello, The Church, and The Police.

The seventies:
Foreigner, Dire Straits, Boston, Meat Loaf, Tom Petty, Journey, and Rainbow.

Lastly, some newer rock bands that I find enjoyable:
The Strokes, The White Stripes, The Shins, Interpol, and Wilco.


There's not much embarrassing stuff in there, except maybe for the fact that I still listen to all of the above bands on a regular basis.
