take 5.

so if i had to narrow down my five favorite bands, i could do it. easily. i was discussing lyrics with a friend this weekend and decided that i don't really care about them. i'm much more into musical skill and technique, and i guess overall sound quality. if the lyrics are dece, sweet. if not, i just tune them out. don't get me wrong, i'll never play "Colt 45" as a lullaby for my children. i have some boundaries. here we go.
