[Seventh Son]

You really need to listen to more than 5 bands. Granted, I don't have the most diverse taste in music, but just 5 bands is extremely limiting and there's so much more out there to experience.

oh god marry me

You really need to listen to more than 5 bands. Granted, I don't have the most diverse taste in music, but just 5 bands is extremely limiting and there's so much more out there to experience.

Yeah, I'm gonna have to back Seventh Son on this.

You should look into some of the bands discussed here often, BRGM, and maybe check out some radio and user review websites

[juice]

OMG You guys listen to an ASSLOAD of bands! O_O :O

[DarkEternalNight]

I'm extremely biased but you should check out Rammstein, they're pretty accessible.
