I don't know. A few years ago they came out with a new album, but I don't think there has been a new one since.

I remember they were really popular around here...then they suddenly dissappeared! And, I kinda got into rock music. I still like them, though.

I had to stick to rock bands, since it would otherwise be a categorical nightmare...

its so bloody hard to limit this to five, but here they are for now, in no particular order:

1.Led Zeppelin (of course!!)
2.Bad Religion (some of the best politico-rock the world will ever know)
3.Sublime (for originality and use of a fusion sound)
4.Rolling Stones (great lyrics, great sound, lasting formula for success)
5.Social Distortion (because sometimes you just need rock thats, well, rock! - and it doesnt hurt that they took country fusion to a whole new level)

ive kept out solo artists, that would be a whole new ball of wax!
