You have just berated both of my favorite genres... ;-)
I am not a big fan of todays rock. I liked more 90's rock with bands like Alice in Chains, Nirvana, Soundgarden, etc. The screaming bands like Slipknot are good to blow off some steam to.
Have you ever listened to a George Strait album? I don't know how anybody could NOT like his music. Kenny Chesney gets a little repetitive, but he's got some good tunes out.
