Anyways, my list of good bands currently making music:
Skinny Puppy (They're getting back together and Danny Carey is going to be a guest drummer! Woohoo!)
Seaking of Carey, Tool is on my list. They're one of the best metal groups working today. (BTW, if you ever goto a Tool show you may hear music playing before the show starts, you may hear some Skinny Puppy. Carey has been picking the songs).
System of a Down, and people place them in the category of Nu-metal??? I thought nu-metal was supposed to suck.
Nine Inch Nails, even though he did rip off Skinny Puppy and Ministry in his first album, Pretty Hate Machine ((Check out Skinny Puppy - Dig It and compare it to NIN -Down In It, Ministry - Isle of Man (Version II) and compare it to NIN - Sin. Listen for certain samples, drum loops, and melodies. They're there if you really listen )). The guy has really come a long way and has actually become an original artist. Right now he's working on the Doom 3 soundtrack and a project called Tapeworm with Maynard from Tool. Sounds sweet!
And Radiohead. I love their electronic stuff as well as their more guitar oriented The Bends and OK Computer albums.
