Wow. And I thought the "top 5 songs by top 5 bands" thread was labour-intensive I'll give it a burl. Posting later...

 

[Budda 230]

Great effort there SouthSwans. There is about 10 songs there that would probably be in my top 50 too. Not sure if I'm capable of producing my Top 50 though. I'll see how I go if I find time.

 

[bigpapagman]

You have fine taste in sports, Footy teams and music! Have you heard Dino Cazares' new band, 'Divine Heresy'? have heard a coupla tunes, sounds pretty damn awesome. A bit more brutal than Fear Factory, but still melodic. Will get that album when it comes out....
