Out of those, I've listened to all of them except for ICP at one time or another. Puddle of Mudd I've been able to see live in concert. I've never been able to get into much country music; the same goes for rap and hip hop. Pop music is good though.

Creating our own city seems like the best option. That way we aren't too restricted, and we can add important things along the way without issue. We could incorporate some crossovers from the series if we wish, but I would first need a refresher on what little I managed to watched. I will leave this as a possible option, yet not one readily available from the start as I just don't recall enough details to do so. 

No problem, hope you get better.
