And for you MTV chaps out there, not that pop punk ****.

Rush and Soundgarden are the two greatest bands in the history of bands that I like.

how can u listen to angie lees voice, it give sme a head ache

First of all, Geddy Lee's voice is not bad at all. His sound is actually pretty similar to a lot of good lead vocalists of the time, most notably Robert Plant --- do you not listen to Zeppelin?

Second, and lastly, how the hell could you NOT listen to Rush? We're talking about three of the greatest musicians of all time here. Geddy Lee, I mean come on, how many guys could play bass, keyboards, and sing all at once? Neil Peart is widely regarded (and rightfully so) as one of the greatest drummers of all-time. And Alex Lifeson is one of the most underrated guitarists EVER, but he gets overshadowed a lot by the other two members of the band. Rush is without a doubt one of the top 10 or 15 bands of all time, and they're my personal favorite.

I'm not the most knowledgable, but it depends on what you want to do with your mp3 player. If you want to go small, Nano's are just about the slickest (and lightest) thing at that size. If you to go bigger, Zune's start looking a lot more attractive.

I still prefer the ipod to the Zune. My brother got a Zune, and I wasn't that impressed. It's not as sleek, the navigation is not as good and it's 1st gen(although I haven't heard too many complaints from Zune owners) The only thing that's a major plus is the bigger screen, but i'm a music guy and don't really watch anything on my ipod. It's full of music.

1) Rush is awesome. Neal Peart, Geddy Lee, and Alex Lifeson are all phenomenal musicians. their stuff as of late has kinda sucked and been just rehashed. Lifeson is a fantastic guitarist. if you like rush, go listen to don caballero. three piece, less epic, almost better drumming (i know, shock!)

2) i listen to everything.
along the lines of shiver's list.
the post-hardcore, 90's dc emo, 90's eastbay hardcore... artcore, grind, doom, power metal, death metal, sludge, the mars volta... some hip-hop... some pop-punk. fall out boy sold out after take this to your grave. arma angelus was better than them and rise against. i really dig the album leaf and explosions in the sky. mogwai. godspeed! you black emperor. immortal technique. atmosphere, aesop rock. q and not u. i would set myself on fire for you. the number 12 looks like you. that's a quick summary.

What's the difference between hip hop and rap?

There are a lot of differing views on this. Some say that rap is merely a section of the genre of hip hop while other say that hip-hop is the culture while rap is simply the music.

To me, hip-hop is the general culture and genre, while rapping is what the musicians do over the beat. I think of rapping as a style of delivering lyrics, and "Rap" as any music that contains that lyrical style. That's just the way I think of it though. I don't necessarily think there's a right answer. Some people differentiate the two by saying that hip-hop is more the abstract side of the genre, while rap is more hardcore and straight to the point. Like "gangsta rap."
