A belated welcome, Osprey!
I love Tool's "Right in Two," a song I would never have heard if I hadn't joined MusicBanter. I feel this forum, at its best, broadens people's music horizons and inspires them to enjoy music more as we banter about it. I hope you'll have fun here sharing about the music you enjoy. You never know when something you write or a song you mention will be helpful or meaningful to someone else.
Because you are interested in new musicians for your work, I thought you might like my thread (link below) about good songs by non-famous bands. Maybe it will give you some more ideas for band interviews to do.
