The other option being that you're one of those people who regularly listens to FM rock radio but thinks they like underground music just cause they go to Mayhem Fest every summer. Don't be that guy.

Spoiler for Learn...:
For modern rock that doesn't suck...



And for metal, Exodus are older than dirt, but they (along with Overkill) brought thrash kicking and screaming into the twenty-first century with their Tempo of the Damned album. Machine Head might have more diversity, but nothing they've released since their debut can touch this **** for sheer viciousness.




I have nothing to say against Briks that wouldn't violate my rule against jerk fests, except that he's still at that point where he's developing his tastes around MB member recs, but I imagine in a couple years I'm gonna start ragging on him for something or other.
This is why I need to post more of what I listen to, because I have both of those bands on my iPhone for work. Because I have more diversity than I let on. I hate the radio, just so you know, I never listen to it. My ears threaten to burst.

However Batlord, I think that I do listen to a lot of generic bands, you're right there. Part of me is a bit intimidated to branch out more than I have in to other kinds of music, there's so much out there. I should get over that though, because I do agree with you that I need to develop my taste, because it is flawed to hell. I know I usually don't comment on rec's people give me, but PM me a bunch of bands man, I do listen to everything people suggest. I came to this forum to develop my taste.

So help me along, everyone!
