Well, I've heard of them and like some of it, but yeah, it starts to all sound the same. But then again, people probably say that about Pennywise and Bad Religion, two of my fav bands.
Lately I've been listening to EVERYTHING. Weird, I know. My music collection is pretty diverse. In my car alone I have Counting Crows, Pennywise, Fu Manchu, Nelly, Rush, Blessid Union of Souls and Faster Pussycat. At home I've got James Brown right next to Anthrax (loved them as a kid..)
Soundgarden? One of my favorite bands. Could have been the next Zeppelin. Got really bummed out when that shit from Cornell and Rage didn't 'happen'. Heard some bootlegs and it was promising.
Laterz,
