Rather than sit here and type out some long list that nobody will read I will just say that my musical tastes are about as varied as Baskin Robbins. My main musical preference would have to be the alt.country/texas honky-tonk/rock sound. The pictures above are my favorite bands and pretty much all come from that side of the musical fence. My favorite band on planet earth is The Drive-by Truckers. They are, IMO, the best rock and roll band in America. I also enjoy hip-hop (not pop-rap) music. Some of my favorite hip-hop bands are Outkast, Cunninlynguists, Sweatshop Union, Tech N9ne, The Roots, Dialated Peoples, J-5...you get the idea. I also loves me some descent "stoner" rock in the vein of Clutch and Corrosion of Conformity. I went through my early/mid 20's in the gothic/industrial scene and still have a soft spot in my heart for some good ol' agressive industrial music (no genre arguments please).
Basically, I like good music...as defined by myself. If you think you know some good music that I do not...please, recommend it to me.

If I make it through this year, I think I'm gonna put this bottle down
Maybe as time goes on I'll learn to miss it less than I do now
Think I'm gonna tell her that I'm gonna go away for a while
Till I can get this demon out
You know the bottle ain't to blame and I ain't trying to
It don't make you do a thing it just lets you
When I'm six feet underground, I'll need a drink or two
And I'll sure miss you
