All I really like besides metal is 80s pop and 70s-80s prog-rock, I detest modern pop and pop-punk, and while underground hip-hop like Jedi Mind Tricks and Army of the Pharoahs and stuff (thanks for that one Bauder ) are pretty cool, I still wouldn't actively choose to listen to them myself (I feel too white )
Dude...when my friend Micah first showed me the song "San Francisco", he and I literally swooned at her voice. We both later confessed that we'd marry her on the basis of her voice alone.
