Well its obvious who my favorite band is. :cool:

I also like A Perfect Circle which also belongs to the singer from Tool

seems like a bunch of people like tool :grin:

Great list, only thing I don’t agree with is last band. Don’t get me wrong I love SoaD, just I don’t catogorize them as nu-metal. Not only because nu-metal sucks, but mostly because… well, too tired to explain myself, heres some quotes from a Maiden board: "I think the tendency is there to categorize them as nu-metal, but they’re so much better musically, lyrically and vocally that I think they don’t belong lumped in with that genre. " “I ll never understand why they get classified as NuMetal. Even though I cant get into some thier music I have to admit they have talent and they dont seem to want to to be in the GQ Tattoo category that Linkin Park is in.” “I’ve never understood why SOAD are lumped into the Nu-Metal category. Nothing they do or say has any bearing on those bands. In fact if you dig up the ‘101 rules of nu-metal’ thread, I bet you any money that SOAD do not fit one single thing in there” “I’ve always considerd them the same as the Deftones, they get lumped in with the nu-metal crowd when they arn’t even nu-metal” “Agree. Quite like Deftones as well, their music is quite unusual, and definitely NOT Nu-Metal. Their music is really hypotic, and I think has more in common with stober rock than anything else - its got a real groove to it.” Yeah and a whole lot more, anyways only thing I’d add would be Priest, but I’m still exploring more music…

I know it was a couple weeks ago. But I would just call SOAD modern rock. I don’t think there is not very much of a point to break it down further than that. Things are just harder than other things. People just assume genres for a lot of music and that is why I don’t rely on it.

Howie Day
Goo Goo Dolls
Dave Matthews Band
Number One Fan
Dashboard Confessional
Matchbox Twenty

And so much more but if I posted my entire list I’d bore you people to no end. (Assuming you actually decided to read it, which wouldn’t make much sense… y’know what?! I’m tired okay?)
