I much enjoyed the posts thus far, as a person that listens to a wide variety, and broad spectrum of music styles, it is truly cool to see what others post.
I listen to everything from classical, to some very hard rock/heavy metal. My only dislike is for the RAP/Gangsta genre...
Loved the blast from the past with
's Megadeth entry, here are some guys I have seen live several times, during a time when their lead singer wasn't the "tool" he is now, and they still had their guitarist Chris DeGarmo in the band:
QUEENSRYCHE
And on a lighter, but still melodically guitar driven theme:
Natalie Merchant (with Jennifer Turner on Guitar)
