well a perfect circle is as good if not better than tool. Yeah, i usually listen to the classic rock station around here or sometimes alternative. I have one friend who's really into hip-hop that kinda got me into the grave diggas and a tribe called quest. Hip-hop is great when your rocking the bong. I also like the album Homework by Daft Punk, it's fun for partying.The only really solid rock bands being played in the mainstream media right now are Audioslave and Queens Of The Stone Age. Songs for the deaf is an awsome album. Rock and Roll has certainly reached a new low, but there's definitly hope. All this new shit is so 1 dimensional. Ppl will get sick of it. Rock will be music's saviour.
