I'll give just about anything a listen.

Jason Richardson - Yeah, amazing technique from both of them. I see you can buy the tab, but I don't think I'll be bothering.

The Willow - I admire the energy, but not something I'd generally listen to.

Paledusk - WTF! It's like listening to someone playing a video game, but I kind of like it. There's a lot of weird stuff comes out of Japan.

Soulkeeper - Again, not really my thing. Do they have much variety in their other music? I may be showing ignorance, but in some genres they seem to almost work to a formula. There may be variations on it, but are they doing something new? I am sure that if you listen to a lot of this sort of music you hear it differently.

I think people should listen to whatever music they get a kick out of. The great thing is that get generally get to choose what we hear, unless you are stuck somewhere pumping out muzak. That's just hell.
