Heh, I grew up hearing my dad's neil songs. I have been to one of his concerts, wasn't that impressed (his voice is shot compared to what it used to be). There are a lot of great music, it is just it seems harder to find. (IE many of the popular stuff is just junk.)
But I like to use pandora and it tends to bring in good songs. (Note I am the type of person that likes bands ranging from 311 too Simple Plan.) I too had never heard of flowerpowers suggested bands, and after listening to them I am not a fan.
