Still one of my favourites but fuck they are depressing!Yeah, I was big on Alice in Chains too.

I was a huge of Evanescence back in 2003 to 2006.
It was weird when the co-founder of the band, the lead guitarist, quit only 6 months after the band got its huge break of being on the Daredevil soundtrack. They were huge, and he just left supposedly frustrated with the lead singer, Amy Lee, was getting all the attention.
Walking away from a band you created and were going to be making MILLIONS of dollars a year playing in? WTF...
Then over the next two years each of the other three band members leave, and Amy Lee gave very smooth answers about it in interviews, like a smooth politician.
So I came to the conclusion that Amy Lee is a complete bitch behind the scenes. It's the most likely scenario, and I'm damn sure that's the case.
Its sad, because they really had some great songs.
Cannibal Corpse. I was a fan in my teens, saw them play live twice, now I find them ridiculous and childish.
Tool, A Perfect Circle, Nine Inch Nails.
I like the music but the lyrics are just too heavy for a 31 year old who took way too long to get his life in order.
I’m trying to keep myself upbeat and I don’t think I can do that by repeatedly listening to great music with lyrics and singing that describe depression or other forms of torment.
I cannot tolerate a keytar anymore. Tolerance has dropped since childhood.Children of Bodom or Kalmah.
It's the vocals for Bodom and the guitar tone for Kalmah.
Alexi is a special kind of bad I've come to realize. Was so mesmerized with the instrumental work when I was a kid though.
Some older 'tronic music like Aphex Twin, Chem Bros, Crystal Method, Fatboy Slim. It's not that most is bad, it just sounds dated.
Classic Prodigy still thumps though.
NIN made some amazing music (and it usually doesn't coincide with their most famous ''hit'' songs, Closer? yawn, their hit songs are the most banal stuff they did), corny lyrics or not (and some are reaaally corny), albums as sonically interesting and diverse as ''The Fragile'' don't just happen by chance if you don't have talent. Also, Reznor created a signature sound that you can instantly tell it's NIN, even if you are listening to stuff like the Quake soundtrack or his most recent movie soundtracks, his style is very distinctive and I don't feel his music was ''manufactured'' or insincere at all, the image and the marketing side, that's another matter.
These are good choices. I felt TOOL was really deep as a teenager, as an adult, it's nothing special.
I also have a hard time enjoying a lot of the angsty stuff I grew up with. I just don't feel that way anymore. A lot of stuff I grew up, I doubt I'd get into as an adult.
