When I'm sick, I tend to listen to a lot of music. As a result I figured I'd report back with who's a good listen. But I know a lot of people agree with me when I say it is difficult as hell comparing your favorite alternative bands with your favorite industrial bands, heavy metal bands, indie bands, etc. I'm therefore separating them by (loose) category. Also keep in mind, the order in which they are ranked doesn't mean one is better than the other.
