Which was?

Im a big Youth fan, so that's kew. And, I also like The Pixies, GNR, the old Modest Mouse (their new one is okay, but I dont like how this is the one that got people introduced to them), ATDI (do you like The Mars Volta or any of their other projects?), and Gomez I saw live about two months ago- they were not that good, but I downloaded some of their songs and they sound better in the studio.

id have to put muse in my top 10 now after seeing them live last monday- totally awesome!!!!
