Favorite bands:

Several.
One comment I'd like to make: NOBODY LIKES "EVERY TYPE OF MUSIC" so saying "I like everything" is ridiculous. I understand that you-me-we have a wide scope of music, that's very true and wonderful. But NOBODY'S HEARD EVERY TYPE OF MUSIC.
I've heard too much in my life and I know ain't heard jack.
Please pardon my rant but this goes right in there with condescending "No TV" crap I hear too much of. I believe there's quality in most all forms of music that you can dig.
