    You have pretty similar taste in music to me.

    Elliott Smith's stuff is pretty good.

    What about Air Traffic, Foo Fighters, RHCP and Biffy Clyro? I know they're all popular, but they're not on your list so...
    I like Foo Fighters and Biffy, i'll check out the others, thanks

    I could kinda tell, but I thought I'd ask anyway. FYI, there's "worse" out there than Cannibal Corpse. Try most goregrind or pornogrind

    Suburban Kids With Biblical Names (see signature video).
    Jeffrey Lewis.

    I can't believe you like the Kaiser Chiefs and James Blunt though, unless they were playing when you were having your first lay you really need to get your head examined.

    The Temper Trap (check out Sweet Disposition and Fader)
    Hoobastank (The Reason, The First of Me, If I were You)
    Jack's Mannequin (Dark Blue, Mixed Tape)

    What about Kansas and Rush? They're a mix of Progressive Rock as well as the 70's/80's Classic Rock style.

    Or more along the lines of The Who, what about Free?
