Personally, I have an ear for a very wide range of music, from Alternative, Metal, Rap, and even Techno/House music, but I always make my way back to REAL bands, and REAL musicians, not those manufactured garbage groups that comeout every other day. I've also been playing the guitar for a couple of years now and have the upmost appreciation for those that have mastered the instrument.

If you haven't seen this movie (documentary)....I insist you do.

"It Might Get Loud"

Jimmy Page - Led Zepplin
The Edge - U2
Jack White - White Stripes, Raconteurs, Dead Weather.

I've personally seen Jack White perform in the White Stripes and Raconteurs........holy $hit, can that guy play.

Enjoy
