If the ball were in the Western court, wouldn't that mean we would be on the defense? D:

Hahahah, I kid, I kid. I'm particularly supporting Western rock because of all of the great metal groups that have emerged (and re-emerged) in this decade that have seriously rocked my socks. I mean, totally blown me away. Enough to rethink my standards on the genre.

Hahaha. There's a lot of good metal, I'm a huge fan of Mastodon and Tool. Also, Punk rock was born and died in the West.

After Western rock, half the other stuff just doesn't measure up.

There's not many good Rock bands out there that I'd be interested in, so I guess I prefer Jrock.
