nice, Im kinda a metalhead. I love metallica, actually there my favorate band. But Im not that much into other metal. Metallica is metal but they have some awsome non-metal but extremely awsome songs: bleeding me, call of the ktula, outlawn torn, nothing else matter, and so on. Battery also rocks(especially the start) :D

Ever listened to Sepultura or Pantera?

No, and Yes. I have listened to Pantera, I have The Great Soughern TrendKill, and Vulgar Display of Power. I kind of like them, I listen to them occasionally, but they are too much screaming/thrashing/messy sounding for me to put them in my top 5.

I have never heard of Sepultura though.

Awsome list! Anyone who has Alice in Chains in the list is automatically cool with me :D I dont care what anyone else says Alice in Chains is way better than Nirvana :D

I listen to everything except rap. I like a wide range of musicians from opera and classical to rock, country, jazz, alternative, etc. There are just too many I really love from a broad spectrum of genre. It would be unfair to pick just 5.

There is one up and coming singer that I really like, but I know none of you have ever heard of her...she is a senior at the New England Conservatory of Music...she is my niece.

I'd have to agree, rap blows.

HipHop is great... Awesome to listen to while skiing...

I listen to a ton of Beasties, Run DMC, etc...

Very hard to limit yourself to five.

check out "Piece of Mind". I never got into them too much, but that was a solid album.
