Down With the Sickness by Disturbed

Kills me how bold people are in their wrong-ness these days. Say, "not my thing", or "doesn't resonate with me" To say they're overrated just makes you sound absurd. Practically every rock band since, lists them as an influence, and they're the most covered band ever. Give everyone a break with the "overrated" bullshit

I decided a while back that the way I'm going to handle this sort if thing (as it pertains to Nugent specifically, but ive extrapolated on out) is that I'll continue to enjoy those great songs, but I'm never doing anything that will put any of my money in their pocket. Used records and .mp3's? Sure! Concert tickets? No fucking way.

14-19 included a bunch of hair metal for me, which I do still love. But most of what I truly love and appreciate, and listen to more, I learned about later, and was created both before and after those "formative years" you talk about. So, I'd say for me, not necessarily true.

You're quite welcome, I'm always happy to turn people on to good music. I'll also suggest some more popular stuff like Sammy Hagar, VH, The Cars, Iron Maiden, Thin Lizzy, etc, just in case you guys aren't familiar. Also, if he has any blues leanings, a lesser known guy named Rory Gallagher is really excellent, as well as (of course) Stevie Ray Vaughan and Clapton.

UFO. UFO. UFO. I cannot suggest them enough, easily the most under appreciated band of the last 50 years.
