Program(s) comparable to Garageband

[theman5725]

I just wanted to know if there are any Windows programs available that are comparable to garageband (ease of use, musical talent not really required). My friend likes garageband but he doesnt have a mac and he wants to know if there is anything comparable for pc.

There is Sony's Acid which is somewhat comparable (with loops and synthesizers).

But, it is also a pretty expensive app.
