Kinda sucks that 'grunge' is the best word they, whoever they is, could come up with to describe it. You're right about Sean Kinney BTW, he is one of the most creative drummers that Seattle produced. And Soundgarden was the bomb yo....I only got into Pearl Jam again when Matt Cameron joined up with them, and they have put out the best albums in their discography with that guy. For rock music, he is right behind Stewart in my book.

Oh no, I'll be buying the whole thing.....I'm an album guy. I don't own *any* singles whatsoever....except for Freaknasty's 'Da Dip'. Ooh, there's a bit of dark history....kinda like my own personal Curved Air or something....
[quote]The Soul Cages, his album that I prefer and nobody likes it but him and me, and for the first time I felt like sincerity there.[/quote]
Alright, now you're downright scaring me Kalypso. The Soul Cages, though a bit too short (I want more dammit), is easily his best album. I still wonder exactly what 'Q sound' is though....it sure sounds fantastic! Manu Katche is another of my favs.....as well as Vinnie....I felt real lucky when he joined Stingo on the tour for this album. I used to play the shit out of a video recording I made of Sting's 40th birthday bash at the Hollywood Bowl. Vinnie just tore it up that night BIG TIME.

After your Soul Cages admission, I'm beginning to think you might be an FBI agent or something.
I must confess, though, that I went through a huge metal phase in the late 80's, and thanks to Stewart mentioning the virtuosity of some of the newer metal drummers, I've recently picked up some of those albums, as well as some of the old metal groups I used to dig. I actually really like Lamb of God....Chris Adler is outright insane on the drums. I also really like System of a Down's music, though it's unfortunate that the singer is so grating that I can only take them in doses of 3-4 songs at a time. Sadly the same is true with me and Led Zeppelin....fabulous drummer.....good god how I hate Robert Plant.
