I think it's pretty funny to read some of these artists and album titles. The only people I've heard of on here are Jimmy Buffet and the Crystal Method. I actually trimmed this list by about half. It's incredible how much music is put out on a weekly basis..and how many of it's never heard about. Thanks to ClearChannel and all the other huge media outfits who only pander to the masses.
