Rage, seeing this I was stunned, like a duck hit on the head. I can't believe there's another living soul who appreciates Bill Monroe, the king of the yodel. (Or, is this a different Bill Monroe, in which case, thanks to you, I will now probably have to request a new screen name?)

As I understand it (from an old post I dimly recall) there must be a good and sufficient reason. I wonder if embarrassment is sufficient.

I would love to see something like "Yodeler" under your handle!!

Maybe one of our esteemed mods or admins can help you with that...

737, glad to see another Slayer fan! :thumbsup: :rock:

Glad to see all the rockers on here as well. Yeah it was hard for me to narrow my list down but those are my absolute favorites. My ipod is littered with all kinds of different bands and I love them all! Lux, I've got to give a shout out to you for the Johnny Cash, he is without a shadow of a doubt my favorite solo artist of all time! The man was a genius when it came to creating a style and sound that was all his own, the world lost a true pioneer when he passed!

Lots of great bands here. It would be an interesting poll, but not sure how many items can be listed or voted for.

Regarding changing your name if sufficiently embarassed, that would have to happen if anyone listed BeeGees. :crackup:

Stevie Ray Vaughan
Chuck Berry
Lynyrd Skynyrd
