TouchyFeely The Devin TOwnsend Band for sure! That guy is a genius. His newest material is amazing. WHy this guy gets ignored by all the radio stations in BC is beyond me. He is an amazing homegrown talent that is treated like a god by fans worldwide. He can sing 50 different ways and rips on the guitar. Anyone who isnt familiar with this man should LOOK INTO IT. - Sat, 5 Apr 2003 1:20pm
