Bands
These are some of my favorite bands.
Genesis
My favorite band of all time. Unfortunately, I've only seen them in concert once. Oddly, although I consider Phil Collins my favorite solo singer, I prefer the Peter Gabriel era of Genesis.
- World of Genesis - nice site, up to date releases
- Genesis Discography (PDF)
- Genesis Museum - lots of artifacts
- Progressive Rock Archives - Genesis entry
Phil Collins
My favorite singer of all time. Although Phil's more recent work isn't nearly as good as his work in the 1980s.
Lenny Kravitz
My favorite modern artist. I've seen him 3 times.
Live
My favorite modern band. I've seen them 3 times.
Metallica
My favorite hard rock band. I joined their fan club recently. I've seen them 4 times in concert.
- Metallicapedia – weird – I added this after I thought I had come across it on the web. Now Google shows this page as the only reference.
Charlie Daniels
My favorite southern rock artist. Great in concert, especially for a 300-pound 60-year-old man. I've seen him 5 times.
Chubby Carrier
A very fun Zydeco band from Louisiana. We went to see him, and every single person in the club was on the dance floor singing. The washboard player was also a lot of fun. If I ever get married, I'd like to hire Chubby and his band to play at the reception. "Ain't no party like a Chubby party, 'cos a Chubby party don't stop!"

Here are some links to other music resources.
- All Music Guide - Great resource for almost any artist, album, or song; great hyperlinks linking all sorts of info
- AllOfMP3 - my recommendation for (legal) music downloads; great selection; also doubles as a pretty good discography, including singles
