I would say there have been several notable bands or releases over the recent years. That said, most of the metal scene is getting old for me. I've started to listen to completely different genres lately. I still can't stand most pop and hip hop, but I find myself listening to a lot of old school Blues and some lighter Jazz, as well as non-poppy Country from the 60's-90s. The common theme is bluesy stuff, any old-school rock with a Blues edge has a chance. It's weird how tastes change. A spider jkust la';nded on my./?rtr keyboard8=0iolku f``
