    Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, Hella , Lightning Bolt, Naked City, Grouper, Dixie Dregs, They Might Be Giants, Silly Wizard, Index, The Incredible String Band, Battles...

    Cage the Elephant
    Linkin Park
    Guns n Roses
    Black Sabbath
    Oasis


    I don't have the absolute best knowledge of classic music compared to Hip Hop, but these are the ones I've listened to and enjoy the most. Rock is my second favorite genre but really it gets hazy as to what I like and what I don't tbh

    I feel like I'm more likely to enjoy a band if they are musically diverse and have a lot of range.

    Like that's why I can dig GnR, and at the same time am super 'meh' on say, ACDC.
