I've always disliked most metal, and been looking for a reason why I'm so vacuous and delusional. Thanks for finally explaining it to me.

Note: I'm kidding around.

 

I love prog metal.

I don't consider the likes of The Civil Wars, Twenty One Pilots, Family Fiction or Over the Rhine to be bands since they consist of two member.

Also I haven't listed solo artists since I don't think they're bands.

I like A Tribe Call Quest, The Roots, The Spooks, Black Eyed Peas, Public Enemy and ChocQuibTown but I don't really think you can call a hip hop group a band.

I realise, with this post, I may sound like a music snob and I kind of am
