I have decided that "genre classification" is just incredibly too pointless...
I mean...I can say that I enjoyed Metallica (in MOST of their forms) and that I can also listen to bands like Taproot, Shadows Fall, Skyclad, Stereomud, Darwins Waiting Room, and like a billion other bands situated in tons of genres
shit... I listen to Sublime, Phish, and Pink Floyd every damn day... but I can also listen to MXPX, Less Than Jake, Five Iron Frenzy, Reel Big Fish, and other punk/ska alternatives...
My mix CDs go everywhere from Rusted Root , Ben Harper, and Dave Matthews to Hendrix, Clapton, Marley, and bands like Neurosis...
I'm such an eclectic bastard.
Side Note: I've never heard Arch Enemy and I probably never will.
