I used to never listen to music. I mean never. Ive only bought 2 CD's in my entire life. The only time i do so is when im using my computer, which is quite often, and thats only to one band - Hilltop Hoods. They are the single greatest band ever. You probly wouldnt have heard of them because they are an australian band, but i highly reccommend some of you find a couple of their songs and listen to them.

Some of the best:
The Nosebleed section, The Sentinel, Tolerance Levels, Dumb Enough?, I believe, and Elavation. These are my favorite songs of them all, but every single song on their CD's are good. ( you know how f you have a CD and you dont like a song, youll always skip it? This doesnt happen with Hilltop Hoods. Well, at least not for me...)

[disrupter006]

The Offspring (of course)
AFI
Slipknot
Static X
Powerman 5000

[TyBO]

In no order... except the first 3 are my all time favorite.

Radiohead
Neutral Milk Hotel
The Olivia Tremor Control
Sonic Youth
Pavement
Pixies
The Fall
Wilco
Yo La Tengo
Grandaddy
Guided by Voices
Interpol
The Dismemberment Plan

... and I think that's everything.
