On Jars of Clay, I agree. Their first album rules. A few months ago I bought Furthermore, which is a compiliation of all their better songs so I'm really enjoying that, as well as their Who We Are Instead album.
some of their songs on Who we are instead are pretty awesome... I like Jealous Kind a whole lot... I'd tell you what other songs I like on it, but i can't remember their names right now. Plus I am listening to Dave Mathews right now. Some of his songs are really good especially on live albums... Two step for instance. Its sweet. Its like 15 minutes long and has a 5 minute piano solo. I need to check out Jimi thing... my friend told me its like 20... but im not sure that thats accurate.
Oh yeah... I heard of this band called dead poetic... I really like their music, its got a hard edge, but also has got some pretty cool instrumental parts. They just came out with their sophomore release which is awesome incredible. www.deadpoetic.com hmm i should probably hyperlink it for lazy people like me. dead poetic is the rawkness monster
