What bands do you dig? or hate?
muzzy:
If you listen to anything long enough, you get sick of it. And musical tastes change over time. I included some bands in my above list that I don't really listen to anymore (manowar, for example), but which I considered were worth mentioning.
Nowadays I just listen to whatever I haven't heard before, be it some obscure Judas Priest album I have somehow managed to miss, or Super Eurobeat that doesn't require any brain activity to listen to.
Within Temptation has some good songs, but everything gets old. I tend to dislike many finnish bands because I just hear about them too much :)
Calum:
Nick Drake, Mountain, Hendrix, Cream, Monster Magnet, Os Mutantes, Maldita Vecindad Y Los Hijos Del Quinto Patio, Die Fantastichen Vier, Inaura, Pura vida, Dream City Film Club, The Stones, Grand Funk, Randy Newman, Janis Joplin, Deep Purple, The Kinks, Small Faces, Hawkwind, The Pretty Things, The Saints, Pre-Shrunk, Prodigy, The Aphex Twin, DJ Shadow, Moby, Porcupine Tree, Pink Floyd, Type O Negative, Franz Ferdinand, Whiteout, Kula Shaker, Heavy Stereo, Huggy Bear, Bikini Kill, Fudge Tunnel, Kraftwerk, Can, Amon Duul 2, Led Zeppelin, The Who, Santana, Don McLean, Suzanne Vega and many many many more...

I included Public Enemy in my list. I discovered it through the webmaster of this website.
From what I can tell for certain, CommonSense likes The Avalanches, DJ Shadow and Public Enemy.

I forgot the Avalanches. "Since I left You" is an incredible LP. Their BBC Radio 1 set is great too.
