    Eek A Mouse is actually one Jamaican dude, he's like 6'8".

    We used to call him two-stroke man because he sings like a two stroke engine. :hihi:

    I like a wide range

    1.) Metallica
    2.) Breaking Benjamin
    3.) Incubus
    4.) Disturbed
    5.) Theory of a Deadman
    6.) Journey
    7.) Foreigner
    8.) Poison
    9.)
    10.)

    9 and 10 are left open for when I have more time to think about how I want to cap that list off.

    Maybe not TOO wide, though

    I know those groups.

    I went to a thrash concert once in the Marigny that featured the Meat Puppets, the ButtHole Surfers and a band called Nig Heist. The Mothers of invention should be familiar to all Zappa fans. The Green Herb spasm band was a local Garage band. The Normls was a late 70's New Orleans band that featured several of my friends and morphed (partly) into a band that my brother played and sang in called the backbeats and it included Vance DeGeneres and Fred Leblanc. The Bonzo Doggie Doo Dah band is very real and weird. Theyre similar to Captain Beefheart who inadvertently got left off the top ten list.

    Hatcher could probably confirm these bands. Check out the Dick Nixons...they're from around Garyville, La. I saw them at the Maple Leaf back in the days.

    Rare Earth, totally missed that one.

    I didn't consider Boz Skaggs or Suzi Quatro since that is a person's name and not the name of a band. Cool names, no doubt.
