so im a complete bluegrass and oldtime junkie, when i go to a show, im usually the youngest person there by 20 years. that said i am really stoked on a lot of new bands. they are listed below and are in no particular order, other than numbering them helps to keep track.

1. kings of leon, these guys are the shit and i love them.
2 overseer (mark abma and tj in claim nuff said)
3. band of horses, they are the definition of chill imo.
4. blind melon are the kings of early 90's rock imo.
5. cloud cut, an awesome minnesnota band and were even in andrea's hatveit segment in claim
6. the darkness, never really got that popular but i still love them
7. Ratatat, are simply the shit
8. Track N Field, down temp is the future of jazz
9. Girl Talk, once again nuff said
10. CKY, i just cant get enough.

these are the top 10 bands i cant get enough of, and in the interest of expanding newshcoolers music intrestes i want my fellow members to post there current top ten bands, and a reason why for each of them.

Cut Copy - usually don't like this kind of music, but this is just too good
Ratatat - awesome
Perfect - incredibly good reggae
Beck - don't know what to say, he's just good
The Doors - classic

no order:

the grateful dead- born and raised in oregon. half of my family are ex-deadheads, and i grew up loving them
andre nickatina- "take em to the bay bridge, make em strip, tell em jump. i don't know why i get high. i'm so in love with money i keep spending till it runs dry."
the misfits- fiend club for life
sublime- so chill. perfect for driving up the hill.
mf doom- favorite rapper
the thermals- legit portland indie. and no whining here, just awesome songs with a message
thin lizzy- don't tell me you haven't heard jailbreak or the cowboy song or bad reputation or...
why?- if you don't know, now you know
zion i- these guys have been a major ski soundtrack player since back in the day, and for good reason.
the faint- if you aren't into them yet, you're way behind and you probably are musically retarded.

changes frequently, and in no particular order:
1. Buck 65- I haven't heard a song by him that I didn't like.
2. Tom Waits- I have recently been enjoying his music a lot and he sounds like no one else.
3. Bob Marley and The Wailers- love reggae, and I have been listening to Bob since I was like 12.
4. Harry Manx- mix between bluegrass and Indian music, very good.
5. Wintersleep- very original, some of their songs I don't like much though.
6. Wu-Tang Clan- great beats and lyrics
7. RJD2- really cool mixes, imaginative
8. Rage Against the Machine- really innovative guitar sounds and original sound. Can be a bit intense sometimes though.
9. Bob Dylan
10. The Doors

sorry for the double post but its sad to say that most of the famous artists these days dont write thier own songs.

any kind of pop on the radio, probably wasnt written by them.
