I'm getting into indi rock now, Pyxies and Godspeed you Black Emperor are two great bands, heard some of their songs, trying to find their albums (maybe I'll even buy them).
You mean The Pixies with singer Frank Black??
Acid_Head...I like your taste in music.. also, Doesn't anyone like the Grateful Dead??? I personally like What's Become of the baby (by the Grateful Dead)

Monster Magnet - Look to Your Orb For Warning..also good

Queens of the Stone Age - Feel Good Hit of the Summer (hehe, all their songs are good)

Kyuss - Demon Cleaner/Un Sandpiper/ Space Cadet (all good as well)

Smashing Pumpkins - The Everlasting Gaze

A Perfect Circle - Judith (the Nine Inch nails remix of that song is also very good)
early Pavemet is very very good.

The Pixies are awesome!

Sonic Youth - that "daydream nation" era stuff

Samhain - glen danzig's band before danzig and after the misfits. "initium" is interesting.

oh yeah, might as well mention the Misfit's "static age" as well. otherwise, it's a crime...lol.

My Bloody Valentine - yep...good stuff. very discordiant but harmonious guitars.

Swell from san fransisco is the best bands nobodie's heard of. very sweet bay area sound. like a more honest, hipper 3rdEyeBlind. check out "41" and "well?"...their best albums.

"robot world" from new zealand's Bailter Space is one of the most beautiful guitar records in existance. nice sound textures.

oh yeah, "ritual de lo habitual" by the infamous Jane's Addiction is a great album.

wtf is wrong me?..must mention Fugazi's "Repeater" as a landmark album of post-punk genre. i love "steady diet of nothing" but not everyone agrees. dl the song "exit only" and tell me what you think.

as far as Nirvana, "bleach" is their best album. their other albums are far too inconsistent in quality.
My all-time favorite song is Little Wing, by Jimi Hendrix. The dude is amazing, best guitarist ever.
Best band is 12 Rounds for me, I really love Claudia Sarne's vocal stimulus. Sure, no one's ever heard of them, BUT YOU WILL.
Also, Nine Inch Nails, who are unappreciated beyond consent.
But here are my top 10 fav songs:

Little Wing - Jimi Hendrix
The Day the World Went Away - NIN
Dog - 12 Rounds
The Center of the World - Bright Eyes
Dogs - Pink Floyd
Still Laughing - Lostprophets
Rock n' Roll Suicide - David Bowie
The Recluse - Cursive
Judith - a Perfect Circle
Happy Child - Tweaker
i cant tell you my favorite song, or even songs. but what i can tell you is that the best driving song ever is:

Golden Earring - Radar Love
totally agree with the driving song...that and I cant drive 55 Van Halen
Ok, i get this all the time so if you don't like rap then deal with it, I really dont care about your opinion on it so don't try... (if that sounded harsh then good, I get tired of arguements over it)

2pac - Until the End of Time
2pac - Dear Mama
2pac - Keep Your Head Up
2pac - Mama's just a Lil Girl
2pac - I Ain't Mad Cha
Aaliyah - Miss You

Dre - Still DRE
DMX - Ruff Ryder Anthem
Ja Rule - Holla Holla
Jay-Z - Hard Knock Life
Snoop Dogg - Juice & Gin
Don't Push - Sublime (Note i'd say Date rape like everyone else, but sublime hated that song so i picked another sweet sublime song, of course they all rule)
Purple Haze - Jimi Hendrix (This man is a god, anything by him is awesome)
All mixed up - 311
Jammin - Bob Marley
Scarlet Begonias - Greatful Dead (or sublime, but the dead made this song)
Your just an old man at heart and probably a parrothead?
