in light of the new CD, i have to add NIN to my list... "With Teeth" is great, i haven't heard a record this solid from them before

So I know some of you like other stuff besides metal. I listen to about 99%
metal all the time, but occasionally I do listen to something else.

The times when I listened to hardly anything but metal (1986-1989) have long since gone. During the past 15 years, the number of non-metal artists I listen to has been increasing continually and nowadays I think at least 50 % (maybe even more) of the music I listen to isn´t metal.

My favourite non-metal bands/solo artists are:

Kari Bremnes (she´s also my favourite live artist)
Gåte (just saw them live two days ago and enjoyed it a lot)
Kate Bush (the release of her new album is to be expected in November this year - though in the case of Kate Bush, you never know)
Tori Amos
Dead Can Dance
Lisa Gerrard
Qntal
Helium Vola
The Bulgarian Voices "Angelite" (formerly known as Le Mystère Des Voix Bulgares)
Två Fisk Och En Fläsk
Burlakat
Suden Aika
Garmarna (Just in case anyone in the States into female-fronted Swedish folk-rock is reading this: they´ll be touring in the States from September 20 to October 2nd)
Hedningarna
Mari Boine (especially live)
The Third And The Mortal
The Gathering
Tactile Gemma
Gjallarhorn (not to be confused with a metal band with the same name)
Värttinä
Parissa
Sima Bina
Mahsa Vahdat
Natacha Atlas
Sainkho Namtchylak
Nektar
Genesis (Peter Gabriel era)

And there are lots of other single non-metal albums I like, but I guess it would lead to far to mention them all.

Jammed to Pigs Of The Roman Empire by The Melvins and DJ Lustmord.
One of these days I have to pick up that Melvins cd with Jello Biafra doing
vocals my buds says that's a really good one to pick up.
