Yeah, I like some of the American Metal, Obituary and Prong among them. On my iPod I also have Helmet, Job For A Cowboy, Lamb of God, Marylin Manson, Mushroomhead, Six Feet Under, Type O Negative, Tool - I could go on, but the European and Scandinavian stuff I dig the most...
Have a look see at some stuff from Brazil, Sweden, Norway, England...
There is a LOT of music in Memphis, just not blues, jazz, etc. I plan on seeing a lot more live metal there than over here. There is Mud Island in Memphis, which is an island on the Mississippi River that has some crazy concerts.
