Some time in the last year, I've gone from thinking High on Fire is a
really good metal band to feeling they're one of the best bands of any
kind, ever.

I like how the Swans eMusic page includes a single for a Mowtown-era
RnB band called The Swans. Also, DJ Golf, if you enjoy Savage
Republic, you might want to pick up some Savage Garden.
