I like sod roofs myself.  They grow grass and wildflowers and they keep out the hot sun.

One from the 60s?  That's groovy man!

A rock roof (don't laugh, there's one two streets from me).  There could be a lot of grooves from the rocks.

I really don't understand the question.

Thanks for all the good answers.  The one I was looking for was a hip roof. 

Hip roof is a roof with all the sides slope downward toward the exterior walls.  I have one that looks like a pyramid on top of the house.

I like the sky and stars as my roof, but only if the weather cooperates. When I lived on my sailboat, I would open the hatch over my bed and sleep with the sky painting a different picture every night.

I like those tile roofs that they use in the SW, but I understand that you prefer Steel roofs, which have so good grooves to them too.

Tin roofs have a lot of grooves.    The grooviest (in terms of being awesome) are the ones that don't burn, blow-off or leak.

Metal , sounds like tin can when it pours.

The shake was predominant roofing materials used in the west. It is insulated also(R=5). Now it needs to be treated with flame retardant pricey like $25K shaker vs. $8K+ for composition shingle.
