Please realize I wasn't serious with the "sissy" title - I suppose I could have went with 'slow jams" or something
def did not mean to come across how I did in my initial post -- the older I get, the more I appreciate/listen to this type of music -- just meant to note that very few of my friends would assume I listen to stuff that isn't hardcore or metal (or disco)
I've always liked my music strong, so to speak, the more epic the better, but I'm not about to bash the Drive By Truckers or similar bands. It's the shit like Dave Matthews that I cannot stand at all.
Didn't read the thread but I really like the Lawrence arms, broken hearts are blue, split lip, mineral, carissas wierd, cat power, christie front drive, lucero, sunny day real estate, nothington, lemuria, and Rainer maria.
