Radiohead is great. Try "The Bends," which is my fav. Justin, you sound like my wife. She too is stuck in that 1977-82 period, which is not a bad thing (I was a pure psycho Clash fan back then, and still enjoy "London Calling"), but there's been a lot of great pop/rock music since: Nine Inch Nails, Rage Against the Machine, Beck, Ice Cube, early Public Enemy ("It Takes a Nation of Millions . . ." is brilliant, despite the "Afro-fascist" politics in it, to borrow from Stanley Crouch) . . . which reminds me, weren't we talking about jazz?
