I need music/band suggestions

Hey people,

I thought I was just a closet basshead, but recently I bought a cheap, but nice sounding set of IEM's for work. I now know that I enjoy the snare more than the bass! Now I know what you guys are talking about when you say the snare will make you blink if you are doing it right!!! My 4 favorite bands to listen to for drums are: Led Zeppelin, The Police, Genesis/Phil Collins, and Tears for Fears.

Do you guys have any "must hear" bands/music that I have to hear to feed this snare drum snap obsession?

Thank you for your time and amy info!

good recordings make all the instruments impressive :) dire straits, steely dan and pink floyd are usually very good.

or, you could just loop the first 9 seconds of this...

Chicago's early recordings have really good percussion in them as well.

Metallica's St.Anger has the best snare drum ever!

The Dead Weather's latest album, Dodge and Burn has a number of tracks that have prominent snare.

I was about to swim through cyber space and e-kick your ass until I saw the smiley at the bottom;)

As for snare albums that comes to mind, pretty much ass Metallica before St. Anger. Something went terribly wrong with that album and don't feel like they recovered. Garage Inc. is a great 2-cd set to crank up and scream along with..."The Small Hours" is my favorite off that set. Soundgarden-Superunknown is good. Huey Lewis-Sports is good. Billy Joel has good snare and just plain good music. I have just about everything he's ever done.
