dammit, that's right.

rock: well, hmm, i grew up with the 70s rock. but of course ilike the earlier classics. My dad was the heavier fan like blacksabbath. but my mom was more the artsy fartsy rock and electronic like Styx and Bowie, maddness(although not rock). Most of what i grew up with was out of the u.k or canadian bands like rush, april wine, bto.
but as for newer stuff...to be honest I'm not very knowledgeable of new stuff out there. I like Muse. Black Mountain (who I forget are either from here or calgary). um, I'm sure other stuff in more the rock/indie kinda category. No metallica type stuff though.
