To be fair, sephiroxas said they were "softer" not soft - from what I have (endured) of Disturbed they don't spend half the track growling and grunting at each other in the lowest tones possible which, particularly, death metal bands do.
But anyway...I've managed to hijack this thread far enough- back to everyone listing their favourite rock bands
(btw, does indie exist as a genre anymore or has it been absorbed into the rock section again? Coz I used to love the Cranberries' Zombie track but I was told they were an indie band...even though it sounded pretty rock-ish to me).
