All right, everyone knows this, but let me reiterate (ooh big word!)...KYUSS! The band that completely opened new musical doors for me. Because of them, I found this whole music underground, music that was made because people felt it was important, or they we so fucked up at the time that they thought so. Kyuss is powerful, it's beautiful, and they didn't take themselves too seriously. My only regret is that I got into them too late and was never able to see them live. But thanks to Kyuss, we have Unida, Queens of the Stone Age, hell, even Brant Bjork made an impact on Fu Manchu.
And countless other bands that I love...I now have more music to buy than I can afford to. I dig the stoner scene, or doom rock or fuzz rock or riff rock, whatever the fuck you want to call it...it's real music, not done to sell records...from the soul. It's simplicity is amazing, yet it's also complex...I dunno, I'm talking out my ass now cuz I'm kinda drunk but Welcome to Sky Vally changed my life...
