"How's it going to be" is ok.

Yep, THE Bush. They have to call themselves BushX in Canada because of copyright law. It seems there was a Toronto area band of that name earlier this century. That's all I know about it.
I borrowed a CD off a friend a few years ago, we are no longer friends, and I unfortunately gave the thing back!
Don't even remember which album it was.

As for Metallica, I don't usually like to listen to stuff that hard, but when I do, they are the best. They define 'metal' so much that other metal bands have a hard time not just sounding like poor imitations. (IMHO.)

I'm not into loud music. I prefer pretty ballads with lovely melodies, a touch of magic or mysticism, stuff like that. (Although I am totally crazy about distortion guitar dripping with reverb and wild harmonics.)

For the list, another song I really don't like:
"I love coffee, I love tea, I love the java-java an' it loves me.
Coffee an' tea an' the java an' me, a cuppa, cuppa, cuppa, cuppa..."
It gets stuck in my head! And I DON'T love coffee, or that horrible orange pekoe stuff that passes for tea.
(Maybe it's not pop. It was pop once!)

Also "just a girl" by No Doubt. It's supposed to be sarcastic or something, but I think it fails to achieve its aim. (And I really don't like Gwen's voice.)
