top 5 bands of the ’00s

Sometimes it seems like I’m stuck in the ’90s, since that’s when I came of age musically and a lot of the bands I like were at the height of their popularity.  With that in mind, I figured I should come up with a list of newer bands I like, lest I remain stuck in the past.

1. Russian Circles

2. Quatre Tête

3. Battles

4. Tomahawk

5. White Stripes

Top 5 guitar sounds

There are, of course, lots of other guitarists and bands that I love, but these are the ones that make me want to put my fist up and snarl simply because of the sound of the guitar.  I tend to like thick, distorted, grungy and/or metal-y sounds. Taken side-by-side, there’s a definite similarity.

(in no particular order)

1. Page Hamilton – Helmet: Swallowing Everything

2. Jerry Cantrell – Alice in Chains: We Die Young

3. Dimebag Darrell – Pantera: Walk

4. Jack White – White Stripes: I’m Slowly Turning Into You

5. Steve Albini – Shellac: My Black Ass
