just a great band altogether. Aaron Lewis has some great lyrics, singing, acoustic riffs, and altogether a great band. but most of all i respect his mostly acoustic songs, simply because they are a huge inspiration for me.

before my one of my best friends moved to Tennessee, Staind became his favorite band, because he felt he could relate to their music. i am now really addicted to these guys and i really love Epiphany and Zoe Jane, both amazing songs, as well as Outside, Right Here, Open Your Eyes, and It's Been A While (amazing song). give Staind a listen if you haven't already, they aren't bad for being a popular band. they're popular because they're good.

I'm only really familiar with the radio singles. I remember thinking when they first "hit" that it was a refreshing new approach (and talent) in a genre I'd nonetheless lost interest in. I won't turn it off it comes on the radio, but I don't own any either.

I did see them playing some kind of acoustic thing on some show on Mtv at some point and I remember distinctly thinking "This is the REAL deal," meaning they have a lot of skill and talent.

Any albums you can recommend?

"I'd like to give Iraq a little lesson on Democracy. because we (America) know what we're doing. After 100 years of Democracy, you have to let your slaves vote. After 150 years, you have to let your women vote. But at the beginning of Democracy, a little genocide and ethnic cleansing is perfectly okay, which is what's going on right now" -Kurt Vonnegut appearing on "The Daily Show"
