Angie and Vani -- I also love listening to hard rock to zone out or when I need to concentrate on work I wouldn't be able to concentrate if I were listening to Mozart! (Nothing against classical; I adore performing it but not listening to it, for some reason).

argh double post sorry!!!

Doh, think I just lost my last post in this thread. If not, sorry for double posting!!!

Is it sad that my fave artists are still all on this list. Sometimes I think I need to move on!!!!

1. U2
2. Nirvana
3. The Sundays
4. The Pixies - (80s-90s)

Even though I went to high school and college in the 90s, I never *really* got into the grunge bands. I preferred and still prefer the 80s bands. But hubbie and I are going to see Pearl Jam in Oct. I remember when Achtung Baby came out and I consider it one of the best albums of all times. Also, I got a bloody nose at a Nirvana concert in New Orleans from being next to the stage, in the the mosh pit and someone's boot landing there. The Breeders opened for them and I like them a lot too. I also like a lot of the sweet girl voice singers (for lack of a better description) from the 90s like Tori Amos, The Sundays, Innocence Mission and Sarah McLachlan.
