Are Iced Earth any good? I read about them, and they sound good.

Wicked they are great!

My views on both are changing now.

As much as I hate Busted, they can play their own stuff, (well they can now!) and are fairly good live. They're far far better than any BabyCakes sheet that we get.

McFly are easily the better though. There are some great cheesy pop-rock songs on there. Plus they play live, and always have done and are pretty good.

I like some of Avril Lavigne's new stuff too.

I've got a strange taste in music...

However I still prefer Indie/Alternate stuff to any of that.

I think classic rock is defined by quality not necessarily its vintage. I like rock music from 60's, 70's, 80's, 90s & 00s..... One thing I don't like is pigeon-holing of the music I love and live for.

I like everything from mainstream - Hendrix, Purple, Blue Oyster Cult, Iron Maiden, Metallica, Slayer, Green Day, Guns & Roses, Chili's to more underground stuff such as Sick On The Bus, RDP, SNFU, No Means No, Terrorizer.....too many to mention here....I think the message is you enjoy what you enjoy but anything with attitude where the artists have a passion for what they do is okay....

You'll either love or hate them.
I hate them.

Keeping with the theme of slating the big MT...

Dude, Fred Durst would like beat you ass, dude. He packs a chainsaw, shizzle.

Yeah, they're egocentric but Rearranged and Take A Look Around are damn fine tracks. They're posey though, which explains why they went down the tragic rap-rock path, never to be seen again.

I did tell him.

I said "kyle was being sarcastic, y'know. Only a moron would confuse Limp with classic rock".














Then it dawned on me.
