I'm in the mood for something different, I hope someone can impress me with music I have never heard. I love metal, but I also dig stuff like The Crystal Method or Portishead. My favorite band is Black Sabbath but I also like a lot of the modern "swampy" metal like The Sword and Clutch. Here is what I'm listening to right now: The Sword - Age of Winters Sevendust - Alpha Otep - Sevas Tra (I love female singers) It doesn't have to be metal, however. I'm pretty open-minded.
Do you remember the Runaways. Also Big Brother and the Holding Company(Janis Joplin) Don't know too many rock bands. But here are some punk bands you might like. Very powerful~ Jack off Jill ~ Lords of Acid ~ The Misplaced
You heard Fu Manchu? Artimus Pyledriver? Alabama Thunderpussy? Probably dig them since you like The Sword and Clutch.
If you want to listen some classic heavy metal/jard rock band check out BUDGIE. seem to black sabbath, harder than Led Zeppelin. 70s.
Budgie was a good call! I hadn't thought of them in years... Looks like they are trying to make a comeback, too. Thanks! I also like Artimus Pyledriver (poor, under-appriciated bastard, that one) and Fu Manchu. I might also mention Fireball Ministry. I've heard of Alabama Thunderpussy (what type willow tree do you suppose that is? ;-) (Deadmilkman: I'm not a huge fan of punk music but I'll check out those bands, anyway. Thank you.) Thanks to everyone who has posted so far. Please post more if something comes to mind.
if you like heavy rock from the early '70's,check out these bands--Josefus,May blitz and the Power of zeus
Mojo: No, I haven't, but thank you. Ironically, I have several "pet" cactus named Fred, Lulu, Gladys and Kitty.
what about Wolfmother? kinda like Zep and Sabbath..... You said you didnt like punk, but I bet you'd like The Misfits Tom Waits is a very intriguing guy...never ceases to amaze me. And Im a huge fan of the White Stripes............ good luck in your search!
