hey, well heres the deal, im kinda looking to get into some new music because it seems like i always listen to the same stuff over and over again... i have a pretty open mind toward music and i was wondering if any of u guys have something chill to listen to.. i love rock (pink floyd, led zepplin, nirvana, jimi hendrix, the doors, guns n roses, NOFX, AFI, etc.) and i like rap too... i love music with meaningful lyrics so im not really into lil john and all that shit... i was also wondering if u guys know of something thats a cross between jazz and rock or some interesting rap..any suggestions would be appreciated... thanks

Here are some suggestions of some groups/Bands im feeling at the moment

Acid Reign
When All Else Fails, listen to some classic hip hop/Rock/Punk Rock
Old skool AFI
Millencollin
