[QUOTE="optimusprimerib, post: 8737650, member: 682436"] While I wait for my sound deadener to arrive, I figured I'd list what I have and ask those of you who no doubt know way more about this than I for recommendations. Thanks in advance, y'all. I love how helpful this community is, and how that hasn't changed much over the years. First, if I had to pick a handful of bands to represent my varied tastes music, I'd go with Bad Religion (punk), Porcupine Tree (prog rock), Dog Fashion Disco (avante garde metal, experimental rock), Ghost (doom metal), Volbeat (heavy metal, groove metal, rockabilly), Alice In Chains (grunge), and Allegaeon (melodic/technical death metal.)
