My favorites:

*Third Eye Blind - Grew up listening to them. I could listen to their greatest hits album, Third Eye Blind: A Collection, over and over. So many good songs; Semi-Charmed Life, Motorcycle Drive-By, Blinded, Deep Inside of You, Slow Motion... Favorite song of theirs - Forget Myself

*Blink-182 - Exact same as 3EB. Grew up listening to them, tons of great hits that I could listen to all day. I'm glad their back together and can't wait for their new album. And I know that their music isn't very deep or complex, but I enjoy listening to it. Favorite song of theirs - Going Away to College

*Jimmy Eat World - The Middle definitely got me started listening to JEW, but once I started listening to more of their music, I knew they were my type of band. Very underrated. I often hear them called a one-hit wonder, and it's just ridiculous. Favorite song of theirs - Carry You

*Red Hot Chili Peppers - How can you not be a fan? They've been one of my favorites for as long as I can remember. Favorite song of theirs - Can't Stop

*Motion City Soundtrack - This is a more modern band. I found out about them through a website that found bands similar to Jimmy Eat World and I loved every song of theirs that I heard. They aren't the manliest band, but I like them. Occasionally funny and often meaningful lyrics. Favorite song of theirs - The Future Freaks Me Out

*Cage the Elephant - Another more modern band. I find their style to be different and refreshing. Ain't No Rest for the Wicked is the one everyone knows, but they have plenty of other good songs. Favorite song of theirs - Shake Me Down

*The Killers - And a third modern alternative band. I've loved all of their albums. They have great versatility and are awesome live (first concert I've ever been to). Favorite song of theirs - For Reasons Unknown

*Matchbox Twenty - Again, not the manliest band, but they are one of my mom's favorites and she got me to be a fan. They were very popular when I first seriously started listening to music. Favorite song of theirs - Push

*Coldplay - Another band that my mom turned me into a fan of. They're more mellow than most bands I listen too and I think some of their songs are too slow, but they have plenty of good ones. Great lyrics. Favorite song of theirs - The Scientist

*Jack Johnson - A lot different from the previous artists I've mentioned, and I normally don't like this mellow, acoustic type of music, but there's something about Jack Johnson's songs that I love. Favorite song of his - Sitting, Waiting, Wishing

*My Chemical Romance - No, I'm not emo. I always get crap for listening to MCR and, I admit, some of their songs are just weird, but their most recent album is a change of pace for them and I like it a lot. Favorite song of theirs - Bulletproof Heart

*Kid Cudi - Yep, rap. Cudi only has two albums out, but they're amazing. I'm usually not a big fan of his style of music, but I love Cudi. I'm not really sure if I can explain why. His rhymes are awful, but his beats are amazing and he takes an unorthodox approach to his music. Favorite song of his - Scott Mescudi Vs. The World

Just thought I'd throw in a different opinion.

It took me a while to cut this down to 3,500 characters, haha.

Or, rather, specific GM's strengths -- Who is better in free agency, and who is better in the draft.

As for your second comment, that's a great point. I didn't think about that. The Jets have, by a fairly sizable amount, the highest percentage of UDFA's that play a large role for their team, but also have the lowest percentage of sixth and seventh rounders. Very interesting.
