And Out Come the Wolves was in '95. Let's Go was in '94, and that's still one of my top five favorite records to listen to.

Their live album is one of the better live albums I've heard.

Nightmare is better than their Self Titled album, and maybe Sounding the Seventh Trumpet. But nothing of theirs can ever top their albums Waking The Fallen and City of Evil.

Limp Bizkit? hahaha no just kidding. Check out the group Quarashi. They were from Iceland but broke up a few years ago.

That's unreal. 3 hour set?! Wow.

Otep used to do a lot of rapping on her/their earliest albums, but there's also songs where she growls / screams at you so you might just want to youtube some stuff beforehand.

Other than that I'm drawing a blank on anything similar to Rage.

311 puts on a show every other 3/11 (there's one in Vegas this coming March). The last one (2010), they played for six hours.

I've always said that if I ran my own radio station, I'd have the "311 song of the day" every day at 3:11.
