I can't just leave it at that though... there's still a lot of artists I've yet to discover... and well, 25 isn't enough. Haha.

Though it shows that when it comes to band arguments like "Muse vs. Radiohead", "Metallica vs. Megadeth", "Pink Floyd vs. Porcupine Tree (yes, some people do that)", I like both bands.
