Account opened: 12 April 2004. I have tweaked or created a few pages; most changes have been to pages regarding musicians.

I play a Fender Stratocaster and an Alvarez PD80.
I use linux, and am currently using Debian Sarge (Debian) with the default kernel.
I listen to most types of rock music.
I do not listen to, or condone the listening of, country music.

My Personal Favorites Check these out if nothing else.

"Rock" <= used very loosely

Alice in Chains - Pretty much all albums & EPs.
Fugazi - True indie rock, and good.
Led Zeppelin - Set the standard and have rarely been challenged.
Ben Harper - Earlier albums particularly good.
Jimi Hendrix - Astounding guitar work, great songs.
Metallica - Ride The Lightning, Master of Puppets, ...And Justice for All & Metallica. Load and beyond are not as good.
Mudhoney - One of the earliest grunge bands, more grunge than Nirvana. Early stuff is the best.
Nirvana - Especially Nevermind.
A Perfect Circle - Lyrics can be questionable, but make you think, like Tool's lyrics make one think.
Radiohead - Great band, willing to experiment with their sound to good effect.
Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream is their best work.
Tool - Although lyrics are extremely dark, the music is amazing.

Robert Johnson - Make sure to get the complete recordings.
Son House - Excellent slide guitar work.
Lightnin Hopkins - Great fusion of electric guitar & delta blues.
Muddy Waters - Brought slide blues to the electric guitar.
John Lee Hooker - Unique style of blues, unique = good.
Eric Clapton - Not as good on his own, Cream & Derek & the Dominoes were quite good, does his best covering blues songs.

Other

Deltron 3030 - I rarely listen to Hip Hop/Rap, primarily because of lyrical content (almost exclusive focus on sex, drugs & violence), this is an excellent concept album, well devised & executed.
Gorillaz - Again, not usually into Hip Hop/Rap, but there's almost always an exeption (or 2) to the rule.
Sublime - Very creative fun music.
