just to elaborate on Probot, its Dave Grohl's metal band, pretty wicked. They just rotate singers, like my favorite song Shake Your Blood features Lemmy from Motorhead fronting.

I'll add three more suggestions this go - a favorite indie label metal band called "Acid Bath" very nice slow metal, "Darkane" has wowed me with some very addictive guitar riffs, and the lady fronted death metal growl fest known as "Arch Enemy" they might be popular enough as it is but they complete the list nicely.

Already knew about Arch Enemy, nice band IMO

As for probot my favorites songs are : "I am the warlock" and "Dictatorsaurus"

I've thought of one more band I like that you don't hear much about these days.

Ben Folds- His last album (Songs for Silverman) was easily the best CD I bought in the last year and a half.

For sure... all his stuff, and his band's older stuff, is amazing... funny you should mention him now - I've been listening to all his albums recently, and just got finished watching his concert with the WASO.

Amazing, refreshing, and entertaining musician.

The Mars Volta

Hedley

Blood Clot (my old band -- metal fromage!)

[Zoraja]

I would have to say Stereo Fuse, they did this song that I rather enhoy called Everything.

I cannot think of anyting else, my mind has been corruped by SImple Plan lately

[Blue_Nose]

Here's a really obscure one... I guess they recorded this in their basement, but it's amazingly professional.

It's a rock band called "The Original Plan" and I got a link to their EP in the process of downloading some Guster stuff (another goodie).

I'll keep the torrent active just for you guys
