I don't know how many folks'll agree, but I find a lot of monster redemption of rokk in two "Doom Metal" bands...Electric Wizard and Sleep. My pal Ben bought Electric Wizard's "Dopethrone" simply because the cover has Satan smoking a bong. The record is all detuned sub-Sabbath riffs that are Slow. Not quite Earth 2 Slow, but Slow.

When I was making the comment on rock in the first place I made a generally unfair staement regarding the listening habits of some of the people on this list. That was wrong, however what I did notice from the lists that almost nothing offered was current or recently released. That was the point I was trying to make. The listening tastes here are so far afield that none of us are really paying attention to the zeitgeist here. Sure , it's mostly crap, that's what my original point was: Nowadays , if you wanna rock, Tomahawk is probably one of the most attractive propositions. Mars Volta are really good as well, as one person has written and said.There are others, Melvins, Melt-Banana. I have nothing personal against anyone. I am sorry that my inarticulation caused such commotion. That being said, I still find the Foo Fighters/Tomahawk comparison a starnge one. Chalk it up to differing tastes, eh? CL

I just bought the new Radiohead album, which I enjoy and has been in heavy rotation. I have yet to be let down by a Beck or Sonic Youth album; both have released great albums in the past year. With those few (far from brilliant, I will concede) exceptions, there is mostly crap coming out now. Trust me, my college aged friends have subjected me to enough. I cringe now when a friend says "Hey listen to this!" Zach -----Original Message----- Nowadays , if you wanna rock, Tomahawk is probably one of the most attractive propositions.
