Good gracious- when do you all have the time to listen to/research/compare all these groups? What with having folk/bluegrass/country/Irish gigs and jams and harmony singing classes up to 4 times a week and learning lyrics and writing songs in between, I wouldn't -couldn't- dream of adding such an alien sound to my life. I know, different strokes, etc, but... Assuming you are young, do you plan to someday gather around the table with your children to sing along with your favorite rock group? Not to even mention Heavy Metal! I will now subside. :~) Ebbie
