I'm also not generally into most pop music, although I guess the more popular Nirvana tunes were just heavily distorted ear candy. I used to find their music interesting because of the variety of it. Saying no 2 Nirvana tunes sounded alike might be a bit strong, but there was definitely variety.

I love Pearl Jam. Not a fan of Vedder's spiel, but love his voice. Plus - unlike Nirvana - I find myself listening to each individual instrument rather than just the song if that makes sense. Loved the first 5 albums, but they started to lose me after Yield (which was a fine effort btw).

Also loved STP. Those guys put out entire albums that rocked all the way through.

7 Mary 3 was a good one we haven't mentioned. Also was a big fan of Live.

Yeah, if I am looking for simplicity, I want it in it's rawest form....the blues.  Although, some of those blues guys from the electric Chicago scene were/are far from simple, save for the lyrics.  Love listening to some Buddy Guy, John Lee Hooker, Magic Sam, or Earl Hooker wailing with the wah-wah pedal.  Now THAT'S gold.

My tastes are rather eclectic too....old school hip hop, Memphis/Motown soul, funk, some 70's disco, some R & B, blues, classic (honky tonk) and outlaw country, heavy metal, hard rock, southern rock, prog rock, some punk, guys from the 50s like Jerry Lee Lewis, Chuck Berry, Carl Perkins, the two bands with their own genres: The Floyd and The Dead, bluegrass, Texas swing, really about all of it but poppy stuff (pop country being the worst) and most classical.
