I beleive this will turn into another awful flame war on what bands "suck" and what bands "rock". I don't listen to music in my spare time, so I usually don't even know what people are talking about when they talk about bands. I never heard of Breaking Benjamin until I came to these paticular forums, for example.
I personally believe that Marty should do all of the music like he did in Halo 1. Music bands may or may not write excellent songs, but they're not Bungie. Bungie knows what each level should feel like, and music is excellent for conveying emotions. If you're in a dark mysterious place, the music should sound somewhat "spooky". A band hired to do the music may or may not be able to get that "spooky" across like what Bungie wanted. Bungie should make the music, not anybody else.
