Wow! Its always good to hear a rant from a knowledgeable person. Thanks a million for all the band names that you gave me. I will definitely try them out.
Yeah, Chris Maitland is a very good drummer, but there are a million other bands, even in the current generation with better drummers, IMO. I feel that the drummers in metal bands have got to be more talented. But, of all the instruments that I pay attention to in a song, drums is the lowest in that list. So, I can never really know who is a great drummer and who is not.
About the genres that you spoke of, I have only heard of Math Rock, and its pretty cool indeed. Since jazz is my third favorite genre (with classical coming in second spot), I would definitely love to try more of this genre.
That the current state of mainstream music is pathetic just became exceedingly clear to me in that one single post. I consider myself to be a connoisseur of music, and you just humbled me with a million bands that I haven't even heard of. I feel sorry for the guys who only listen to Greenday and consider themselves to be above the Backstreet Boys listeners.
Again, sorry for the rant and for the evilness against the bands towards the end!
