Scissor Sisters are awesome.
Dead Weather is fun too. Jack White makes everything he touches turn to gold musically speaking. At this point i like all of his side projects more than the White Stripes.

have you listened to the Kills? It's the girl that sings in Dead Weather. If you like that stripped type of rock they have some good stuff

With the decade winding down, I'm trying to compile a Top 10 Song list over these past ten years. Granted, I'm not that big of a rap/hip-hop fan nor do I listen to tons of music like seemingly everybody does nowadays (I'm fine with my 30-35 favorite artists or so, and a single by some random band or artist here and there, my musical range isn't as extended as say, my taste for movies). For me, as a mostly hard rock fan, I consider the song "Holy Mountains" by System of a Down to be the best song of the last ten years. To me, no track this decade matches the sheer beauty that is this song. It’s melodic paired with metal, you couple that combination with the most unique set of vocals to hit the hard rock/metal world in Serj Tankian, you have a good formula for a soaring track. This song, about the Armenian Genocide that took place right before World War I, captures the horror and desperation of the Armenian people trying to hide from their pursuers, that being the Turkish Army, in the mountains located near the River Aras. This is the most personal and politically toned song SOAD has ever made. It’s a shame and embarrassment that the Armenian Genocide has not been globally recognized, due to fear of the US rubbing Turkey the wrong way since they were the brutal nation that led this pre-Holocaust invasion. We get so offended whenever we hear of Holocaust-deniers, well, why don’t we get as offended if not more so when this horrid event has not been properly addressed? This is SOAD’s cry, as they shred through this extremely emotional and vocally powerful piece of art with fervent passion.

One of my favorite bands from the 90's is reuniting, that being "Soundgarden". I've been listening to a lot of their stuff lately, just really brilliant music. When it comes to grunge music, "Nirvana", "Pearl Jam", and "Alice in Chains" will definitely be mentioned, but I'm beginning to feel that "Soundgarden" may be the best of them all. I'm really hooked on the song "Tighter and Tighter", basically dealing with the lead singer's drug addiction and it's devastating affects. The first 1/3 of the song is a steady buildup, which leads to a soul-crushing last 2/3 featuring hair-raising vocal work and simply incredible guitar playing: www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWDhfIYreOs&feature=player_embedded

Badmotorfinger is a sick album. And as for Thrice, I was way more into their heavier shit (i.e. pre-Vheissu)...check out The Illusion of Safety, it's a completely different sound than what they're making today.
As far as '90s reunions go, I'm stoked to hopefully see Faith No More play live when they finally make it over the Atlantic...

I still love "Superunknown" though, that just has so many perfect and expertly done songs on that album. Although I have to say my favorite "Soundgarden" song comes off of their last album, "Down on the Upside", a six minute track called "Tighter and Tighter", basically a disturbing look at drug addiction and its ability to take over your body. Really love the band, and hope this reunion is successful.

Get this going again. I have been pretty down on music lately, but "The Smashing Pumpkins" new album 'Oceania' released today has me excited. Best album I have heard in YEARS. If you were a fan of the band back in the day, they are back to their form of making conceptual, surrealistic albums like "Siamese Dream" and "Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness" (two of my all-time favorites). Highly recommend 'Oceania'. It has such a pure, beautiful, natural sound to it all. No standout singles, moreso concentrating on the construction of the album as a whole. Bravo Billy Corgan! Here's a (live) taste. Long but rewarding song: www.youtube.com/watch?v=15BeoPYUuk4

Right at this very second I'm listening to "Cudi the Kid" by Kid Cudi, Steve Aoki, and Travis Barker.

Got the new Green Day and No Doubt records today. Both are huge parts of my childhood listening experience. Odd that many of my favorite bands originated on the West Coast considering I am from MS.
So far Green Day's album is pretty solid. I enjoyed the rock operas, but I am glad they got back to making more dookie-ish albums. Not saying this album compares to that one, but its in the same realm.
Have only listened to the first half of the No Doubt album, but its def. more similar to Gwen solo stuff compared to older No Doubt records, but its not bad or anything, just much more polished/produced. But they have always been a killer live band, so I will reserve ultimate judgement until I see them again.

We'll see about "No Doubt". Album I'm Listening to now: Bob Dylan - Tempest Also going to check out the new albums by "Muse" and "Lupe Fiasco". Nothing, nothing can compare to the excitement I have concerning the new "Soundgarden" album coming out this November. They have been a favorite band of mine for years, and upon listening to the first single from the album, I am really stoked to see what they have in store. I will listen to Chris Cornell anytime. Well.....outside of when he works with Timbaland, that is.
