It wasnt supposed to be a list of all the people you think are good musicians. It was supposed to be a list of people you think he would enjoy listening to based on his previous list. By including Disturbed on your list of good musicians also negates your right to speak. Please make all further replies through SAJN or Detty.

Forgot I was being too much of a ******* earlier..., you need to check out Ben Folds' "Rockin' the Suburbs" and Butch Walker's "Letters" I think you'd like both of those.

okay sorry, I got carried away there.
