so i gave my lovely husband-to-be all of the music i had in my possession to school him on some heavy tunes. the poor boy lacked proper guidance in choosing the right music as a youngster (Pearl Jam?) and asked me to show him the ways of the dope-ass-music jedi. so here are a couple lists i mustered up for him. mind you, this is mostly the popular stuff from each band so he can get a taste of what they sound like, but if you dont know anything on this list, i suggest you tune in my young padewon learners.
side note: i did not include a list of the beatles. if you dont know their whole discography, including every "oooh" and "lalalala" then you are a waste of perfectly good beatles-freak space.
