Let's see if I can remember what's in my car cd player right now...Linkin Park (of course), Jay Z, Los Lonely Boys, Foo Fighers (another great band), John Mayer, and Ashlee Simpson. It runs the gamut! Do you still respect me? ;)

I take music pretty seriously...and it's great to find someone with mental health concerns (nice way of putting it...eh?..heheee) who gets as much, ummm, 'passion' as they can out of music.:-)If I had more money..I would certainly buy many, many, MANY more cd's. I really like Tool, yes Korn, a bit of Mettalica (I didn't spell that right..heh.). I am also in love with a great new album from a Canadian band called 'The Tea Party'..the disc is called 'Seven Circles'. It is a wonderful mesh of modern hard rock and melody.I *will* check out Hybrid Theory. I like some of the other interesting mixes of rap/rock out there too...the Beastie Boy's come to mind. I also like Faith No More, Rage Against The Machine (now Audioslave), Smashing Pumpkins, Alice in Chains (RIP Layne)...so many bands from the 90's.
On the other hand, I like really mellow stuff like Sarah McLachlan, as you had mentioned John Mayer also. Dave Matthews get's me feeling nice and relaxed. I like some 'classic alt' too like Depeche Mode, New Order..stuff like that, as well as some 'classic rock' (just a bit of it) such as Led Zepplin and Rush. There is just *way* too much to list, but like you, I really take the music and try to fit it into my life...and it becomes the 'soundtrack to your life' in other words.
Sorry I took so long to reply...I have had a rough few days, as I ran out of one of my main meds...leaving me feeling horrid. See......you don't 'ramble' at all. :-) Of course I still respect you..heh....musical taste should be as unlimited as possible.
Oh ya...do you have broadband or regular dial-up? The reason I ask..is maybe we could trade some music? There are some really good, cool modern alt/rock bands from here in Canada, and I could easily post some MP3's on the web for ya!
Anyhow...please let me know....and take good care.
Best to you...
Jay
