I forgot Bruise Vlolet by **Babes in Toyland**. Kat Bjelland’s howl in the bridge makes me shiver. And **Syko**? Doing just fine. 🙂 ---

Rock and Roll Killing Machine, DEP is some extremely harsh shit. I have both calculating infinity and that other one of theirs and Infinity is damn near unlistenable. Very impressive musicians, but that is by far the most intense albumn I have ever heard. As ar as my fav goes though, anything off of The Hammering Process by Living Sacrifice. Awsome Awsome Metal. Also really dig older Sepultura, before Max left. ---

I don’t know if Husker Du really counts as “Hard Rock”, but I guess they come closer than Weezer :). (And I don’t know how to make umlauts.) “Celebrated Summer” has been stuck in my head lately. Anthrax does a decent cover of it. Maybe I should have just submitted that? ---

**Caprese:** Hmmm… I’ll admit it has a slight hard edge to it, but I still wouldn’t call it hard rock or metal, sorry. 🙂 Doesn’t make it any less of a great song, though - I adore Weezer. Every self-respecting person should. ---

**LivingDeadGirl** Definitely not metal. I dunno,I could still could never call it pop. I truly think it is a mini-masterpiece of hard rock,but maybe I am kinda Old School. I like it loud, but I like a definable riff, etc. When I was thinking of what some of my favorite hard rock songs were, I was not so much into categorizing, I was just sort of pulling songs out of my mental data bank. Or something.
