It seems to be a commonality that people think that Audioslave was a disappointment. Obviously, I disagree. Why do people think this, and what were you expecting?

Wow ... that was good. I had to slide that in right under Blur at #7. Wow! Awesome recommendation.

wow ... this muse album is real good. real good. i'm only into the fifth song, but "Sing for Absolution" was really good and "Stockholm Syndrome" is ... really good. :) I finished listening to the Ludacris album and I slotted it in at 18, which means that The Roots got knocked out and, since I'm trying to listen to as much 2003 music as possible, Ludacris's album is probably not long for the Top 20 ... ... especially considering this Muse album is going to knock it down a peg. Better check the release date on it.

I'm feeling a little ibbagoogle in the kepi

Cool! Thanks. I'm listening to the Ludacris album now, then I'm going to listen to MUSE ... then Damien Rice ... then probably The New Pornographers. Thanks for the preview!

within the next two months i'm going to be setting up a web stie that has music and movie reviews. hopefully the site will also serve as a launching space for local san diego artists to get exposure. but if all my plans go well, that will be going by march.

also ... valleyboy ... i would recommend The Shins to you, given what your tastes seem to be. The other two groups you didn't recognize are hip-hop acts.

thanks for the post ... i'm gonna get that muse album ... and thanks for reminding me about damien rice. he was in san diego not too long ago but i didn't get to go. i really regret it ... but when i get those and listen to them i'll let you know. regarding audioslave, i thought that album really brought back a kind of music that had been missing for the last five years. you had bands like creed, matchbox 20, nickleback, et al taking rock music too main stream while other bands like the red hot chili peppers and live followed as their matured. all the newer rock bands, doing rap-rock, are going a different way. audioslave stepped right into a place where soundgarden used to be. sings like "like a stone," "cochise," "show me how to live," and "i am the highway" are all really good songs (i'm probably missing some more), and there are no bad songs. they showed that music is not only still viable, but still artistic. chris cornell's vocals are unmatched, and tom morello's guitar parts are truly unique. i'll listen to the strokes again on your recommendation ... hopefully, you'll give audioslave another chance. the thing about the strokes album: i listened to that whole thing twice and nothing jumped out. it was a big let down for me. but maybe now, but a little removed, would be a better time to give it another chance. but, fwiw, i don't know many people who were really happy with it ... it seems like their moment in the sun is fading.

welcome to cali!!!!

Thrashers don't suck this year. Hartley's got them skatin' well!

I think Vancouver might have ya' for the Hollywood North label ... but I'm not really sure

Have fun!

Just listen to the rhythm of the board.

Dandy Warhols?

but the ATL has Mike Vick, OutKast and Ludacris. When he moves you move (just like that).

you know it's too hot too hot, baby gotta run for shelter gotta run for shade

hahahahhaa ... cool. i can't clown you then. you know what it's about.

AND ... Ray Lewis was indicted there!

OK ... it's worth a try, though :)

I am a man of constant sorroooooooooow... :lol: :lol: I ... bid fairweeeeeeeell to ol' Kentucky .... the place where I was born and raised.

:stunned: I like that song :smug: You believe in the thing called love? :stunned:

I've been listening to a lot of jazz lately, but mostly classic stuff: John Coltrane, Thelonious Monk, Bill Evans.

I saw FotR once, TTT twice ... RotK I bet I see thrice.

Have you ever seen what happens to a guy when he gets cold? And this guy is called Frosty? I rest my case.

That would explain all the North American sales of The Darkness.
