Peter Gabriel, one of my favorite artists. I enjoy practicing his songs either at home or karaoke. His words really relate and he's one of those perfectionists that really makes his songs awesome.
Pink Floyd, the offical site up and running. My best band, need i say more. See you on the dark side of the moon.
Cheap Trick, local awesome group I've loved over the years and try to see at least once every year. I want You to Want me.
The Beatles One of my all-time fave bands, and I enjoy the Lennon songs a bit more since I can karaoke to them a whole lot better

Sting, a truly great artist. I enjoyed his music way back when he was with the Police, his solo career has skyrocketed.
RUSH one of my favorite bands especially the sounds of Geddy Lee's bass playing and Neil Pert's drum playing and fabulous solo's at concerts. One of the reason I bought a bass guitar in my life. True rock gods and an awesome band to see live.
Midnight Syndicate A truly unique work of gothic, instrumental music for the wicked. Great for halloween with intricate sounds something you wont hear anywhere else with haunting melodies.
Texas, a really great band I enjoy from a friend in the UK. Very melodic tunes some pop stuff but worth the listen to.
David Bowie, Ive always enjoyed his style and melodic tunes. I didnt know of his music till the 80's and gradually got into the early 70's stuff and found it to be a total thrill and wild.
Coldplay Hey there are not one-hit wonders here to stay and definately playing to sell out crowds with awesome lyrics and music heard on radio play.
ACDC one of my favorite bands and great looking site. A classic band i never get tired of listening to but havent seen them since the 80's during back in black tour.
finalist for new singer for INXS on that reality show. I think he would have made a great replacement, after him doing a version of WISH YOU WERE HERE, by Pink Floyd it was awesome. Now with his band from Chicago, you can hear his great music on their cd and check their website. Very nice looking with song samples, tour dates and more. Music reminded me of The Outfield, Creed, early Cheap Trick and more. See who they are touring with....
Alice Cooper, official site of the one and only Cooper. Seen him a few times in concert much like the video I seen thanx to Kurt.
Third Eye Blind 3eb A band I found out about back in 99 thru a friend who passed away from New York. She told me of the brash awesome songs and said I needed to check this cd out and I did, enjoyed them ever since and always reminded of her when I hear them play.
Iron Maiden, I've enjoyed this band just after the release of Number of the Beast and was totally hooked. I bought the albums, yes i still have them, of their early days like Killers and really liked them from on. Ive seen them twice in my life, the lastest with my son, sister and brother in law and they still rock! I give them credit for being themselves, true to their fans and energetic.
Aerosmith, cmon who cant love the true gods of rock! Were not worthy! One of the few bands from the 70's still rockin and still together making awesome music. And even mistress enjoys this band.
The Eagles, I love the way they harmonize and sound and their lyrics always amazed me. From the early years to Hell Freezes over Ive enjoyed them. As a teen I got into Hotel California like many others and enjoyed solo careers of the band members.
Heart Official site of upcoming events, bio, gallery and more. Ive seen them a few years back unplugged just Ann and Nancy and they were fabulous. Still with the awesome voices they have and guitar work. Truly amazing glad i went
Garbage, and yes its the awesome band female lead singerwith a unique blend of vocals. I enjoy their music and riviting guitars. Her voice is mezmerizing not to mEention they did a bond movie theme.
Snake River Conspiracy, two peole, loud music, creative energy and really awesome. A blend of thrash, gothic industrial rock music. Check em out.
Marilyn Manson, noone rocks like Manson, one of my son's fave bands and Ive enjoyed his music over the years, some not all but enjoyed some of his covers and he really is unique with a pretty good sound.
Depeche Mode One of the truly unique bands termed goth by some others a dancy pop band. I have to thank an ol friend who got me into this havent heard from here since the 80's and going to the concert with my sis as well. Dark lyrics along with alot of syn and stylish music for the masses.
koRn, Something my son got me into and I have to say they are pretty good. Loud and unique blend of sounds. My son mostly got me into this band.
The Cure, a band I've always enjoyed listening to. Not only their pop stuff but dark melodic stuff I can truly relate to. A unique voice and awesome lyrics. Something truly cherish even if your not attracted to the darker side. What was the hype about i decided to get an 80's collection of their greastest hits and enjoyed them ever since.
Nickel Back, Im starting to like them, even tho one of their major songs was from the Spiderman soundtrack. Alot of people enjoy the videos at the hard rock cafe.
U2, not sure if this is the official site but still quite good if it is. Sign up for info, lyrics tour dates and more. They are awesomely good and play with alot of heart and soul into their music. Ive enjoyed their music over the years never seen em in concert, had a live dvd gave it away (sigh) and have one album on cassette and cd media first band ever to have a album on three different types of music media.
Blondie I remember I enjoyed this band back from the start with Heart Of Glass and knew the voice music and band were headed in the right rock n roll direction. STill performing and making a gap within rock/rap.
Cruxshadows, goth band. Avery unique blend of darkened music. Very kewl some dance or what they call dance remixes and dark harmonies. really kewl downloads pics and more at their official site. Listen to a young fan sing Merryland My Bitterness.
Erasure, official site, I enjoyed their music found accidentally and enjoyed their live shows. What awesome powerful music these two guys make. Hats off to Andy and Vince.
Santana What makes Santana so great? His style of music blending in his heritage with rock and a superb guitarist. Nowadays he has been collaborating with artists of today to create some great music. Even classic artists he has recently teemed up with like Steven Tyler of Aerosmith a music in the making indeed.
Madonna She has a style all her own from the beginnings in the 80's up till now always reinventing herself with controversy and great music. I always enjoy hearing her voice.
Weird Al Yankovic, a monster to some a creative talent to others. Ive seen him in concert a few years back and he was awesome talented and flat out funny. Just like his videos. Hes very creative in creating parodies that at least make sense.
Journey, everyone likes Journey. Their songs have rocked us in the past, and they eventually went into the love mood songs which we all know and love and recognise. With a new singer who sounds just like Perry and they were great in concert too this past summer. A band I grew up with in life and a big impact on my music writing as well. Check out their official site.
YES One of the influential bands of my life during the 90's as I discovered them more in depth thru dating someone who was infatuated with the band growing up. I had a more respect and love of their music going to their concerts and enjoying the legacy of which they have crossed over thru other bands as well. Truly wonderous....
Grand Parade. a band out of chicago that performs ye old Genesis classics, as well as Yes, Jethro Tull and King Crimson songs. I had the pleasure of being the singer for the band back in 98. It was an awesome experience. They are really good in concert.
Mel C, former spice girl gone solo with a really great career ahead of her. I personally think she has an awesome voice. She's still putting out great music to listen to. I found a disc of hers a few years back at a second hand music store and enjoyed it ever since.
Bob Marley. Hey check out this site with music. His foundation pics and info on his career and life. He has a unique reggae sound and noone has duplicated it. Many have re-made his songs but his are the best.
Huey Lewis and the News, yeah some of you may think I'm weird and crazy but I still enjoy them than most popular bands around. They always had popular lyrics and catchy toe tappin tunes with great videos of the 80's. This was the most interesting site available.
Evanescence, I heard them thru a friend and enjoyed the slightly dark ambience of their work. Really nicely done and enjoyed alot of the melody. I just wish i would have checked them out sooner.
Sammy Hagar, ok for all you Sammy fans and Van Hagar, i know your out there, I did this for you to check out, very kewl site. The music popped up and he was pretty good in concert this past summer. For those of you who drink, check out his Cabo. wowsers.
One of the most influential bands I have encountered many times in concert here in Chicago is our very own Poi Dog Pondering. .
