A to Z Band Challenge : The Letter A - Part 2

In continuing with the "A-list", here are a few more of my personal faves. This is by no means all inclusive. I love lots of stuff. These are just a smattering of the ones that really stand out in my mind.

Alter Bridge-
These guys are basically Creed with a better singer. The music is way better, and Myles Kennedy's vocals are phenomenal. My personal fave is "Watch Your Words". 'Nuff said!

Audioslave-
Yeah, I know these guys are more or less disbanded, but I liked them a lot, so I felt they deserved a mention. I am sure there will be more bands I love on here that are gone now. The music is still here, though, so I still dig it! Audioslave was basically Rage Against the Machine with Chris Cornell from Sound Garden singing. Any band which features Tom Morello AND Chris Cornell is going to have my ear, at least for a while. Many of you probably remember "Like A Stone" by Audioslave. 

Argent -
Yep! These guys are an oldie, but a goodie! Argent is a late 60's, early 70's band that featured members from the Zombies. There biggest hit was probably "Hold Your Head Up". It is a personal fave of mine.

AngelSpit -
"And now for something completely different..." Angelspit are an industrial band. I like to industrial dance, what can I say. If you can get past the often "caustic" lyrics, you might like them too. If you are already into industrial, you probably love them. Raunchy though it may be, my fave by them is still "100%"

Alice Cooper -
Cooper is, of course, the godfather of obscene rock shows. My mom used to say he looked 50 when he was 20, but would always look the same. She is right, he does! In earlier Cooper, my fave is "Under My Wheels".
