Das Boot isn't obscure. At least not this side of the pond.

Well, I'll try....

Radiohead
The Twilight Singers
AFI

____________

Four came to mind, but there are so many to choose from, so I'll let all of you fill in the blank. Wierd Al is really good, he's just a brilliant man, but definitely not top 5. If you haven't heard of The Twilight Singers, I highly recommend them, I think you will enjoy them.

1- Fugazi

I aso have the albums of at least two...always wait till th third single comes out to buy an albumcos that single will always define the sound of the album.
Hence Maroon 5 and the abysmal 'sunday morning'.......

*KICK-ASS BANDS(In no order)*

-Blind Guardian - Long songs, kick-ass solos.
I totally agree! I have Night Falls in Middle Earth and Imaginations from the Other Side. They're both absolut killer!

I agree with your list 1-8, but you can't generalise about genres, IMO. BTW, what do you think of System of a Down?

PS. It's nü-metal! Alt+0252 is your friend.

2. Megadeth (minus risk/MD45)
3. Led Zeppelin (only I-IV really, but some other good stuff)

In Flames

Therapy?

excellent in a live acoustic set :cool:

(also not bad full noise live)

OMG i forgot Red Hot Chili Peppers



I feel so dirty.....

4. Biffy Clyro

someone mentioned Biffy Clyro...youre a legend

that would definitely be in my top 10

someone mentioned Biffy Clyro...youre a legend

You can't beat a bit of Biffy

I totally agree! I have Night Falls in Middle Earth and Imaginations from the Other Side. They're both absolut killer!

I have Nightfall in Middle Earth and A Night at the Opera. There is a lot more symphony and vocal kickassery on Opera, but I like Nightfall better.

In no real order
1) SLAYER
2) MOTORHEAD
3) JOHNNY CASH (I know he"s dead)
4) BLOOD FOR BLOOD
5) BLACK LABEL SOCIETY

hate to admit to the following
1) PRINCE
2) ABBA
3) BOSSTONES

Therapy?

excellent in a live acoustic set :cool:

(also not bad full noise live)

'course, some of us here were at their first ever gig in '89 supporting Decadence Within and Pink Turds In Space...

1. Iron Maiden
2. Metallica
3. Guns n' Roses
4. Judas Priest
5. Kotiteollisuus (don't ask. Finnish heavy)

1. Muse
2. Smashing Pumpkins
3. Pink Floyd
4. The Shins
5. Zero Seven

'course, some of us here were at their first ever gig in '89 supporting Decadence Within and Pink Turds In Space...
stop showng off :p

I got four for sure:

The Clash
Stones
Talking Heads
Isaac Hayes (as studio musician for Stax, as songwriter for Sam and Dave, as composer, as solo artist)

It doesn't get hard until there's only one spot left. Now I don't know.
James Brown, Willie Nelson, and Johnny Cash are all contenders. Guys like Radiohead, the Pixies, Soul Coughing, Mos Def, Big Star, Magnetic Fields, and Nick Drake are also fantastic musicians/bands, but don't really have the body of work or I personally don't think there's been enough time or perspective to fit them into the big picture.

Oh god, I forgot The Doors! :headbang:

The Beatles
The Doors
Led Zeppelin
Pink Floyd
Radiohead

1. NSync
2. Backstreet Boys
3. Westlife
4. H Town
5. S Club 7

Boasting such smash hits as Bye Bye Bye, I Want It That Way, Swear It Again, These Are the Days and (I) Never Had a Dream Come True... these five great bands are clearly head and shoulders above all others.

Franz Ferdinand
the Beatles
Talking Heads
Snow Patrol
Eagles

I have to say, the UK is a BEAST when it comes to good music. Too bad a lot of American music sucks. Not that I don't love my country, it's just I love British(and Scottish!) bands.

Soul Coughing
The Eels
Little Birdy
Cake
Molotov

Currently, I'm in love with the following artists:

1. Evanescence
2. Black Eyed Peas
3. Green Day
4. Usher
5. Eminem

Some I like but have a hard time fessing up to:

1. Maroon5
2. Smashmouth
3. Vitamin C
4. Alicia Keys
5. Joss Stone

Most hated so-called "artists", but I'm not sure if it's in this order:

1. Hilary Duff
2. Haylie Duff
3. Britney Spears
4. Avril Lavigne
5: Simple Plan
6: Good Charlotte
7: ANYTHING COUNTRY!!!
8. Jessica/Ashlee Simpson
9. Spice Girls (I will never let go of my hatred for "Wannabe", plus one married David Beckham!)
10. JoJo (Looks just like a Linsey Lohan clone, except I think she's even less talented!)
11. Linsey Lohan
12. Cristinia Aguilera


I'm sure I hate a lot more than that, but that's all I can think of right now. ;)

Top musical acts of all time:

1. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
2. The Beatles
3. Elvis Pressley
4. Ludwig von Beethoven
5. Rolling Stones
6. Frank Sinatra
7. Johann Sebastian Bach
8. Michael Jackson
9. Led Zeppelin
10 (tie) Bing Crosby
Louis Armstrong
J. F. Handel

Sorry Frangland, but according to the consensus emerging on this poll, Franz Ferdinand has edged out the Stones for the five spot. Amend history accordingly. (Also, note that this bumps Bing, Louis, and Handel off the map.)

Rofl!

In every particular order:

1) Nirvana
2) The Smashing Pumpkins
3) Local H
4) Metallica (including their best album, the Black Album)

Number five is where it gets tough. I'll have to go with Therapy?, although R.E.M., Ministry, Motörhead, and Napalm Death are all contenders.)

Shame list (in no particular order)

1) Paula Abdul
2) Ace of Base
3) Hanson
4) Cyndi Lauper

First I would like to thank everyone for jumping onto this thread, I didnt think it would grow this big, I put 5 bands up as I knew it would make people agonise over all those bands they love nearly as much but cant put ahead of their best 5. But what I want to say most of all is 'WHERE THE HELL ARE ALL THE PEARL JAM SUPPORTERS'!!!!!!!!!

But what I want to say most of all is 'WHERE THE HELL ARE ALL THE PEARL JAM SUPPORTERS'!!!!!!!!!
I've got them in my pocketses, I do.

I've got them in my pocketses, I do.

You must have some pretty big pockets then.
But seriously, how come theres no one hardly mentioning them, are they on the way out or something?

I don't really have an all time top 5, I haven't been regularly listening to music for all that long, and my tastes change every now and again. I'll say the current 5 bands I'm listening to the most:

1: Shihad
2: Radiohead
3: A perfect Circle
4: The D4
5: The Donnas (this is one that I'm not sure if I should put in an embarrased list or not. Anyway, I seem to enjoy listening to them so I'll run with it)

Thats cooool :D

I regret not including the Doors, Sabbath, and Floyd on my list :(

Thanks!
I saw someone put Dire Straits on their list, thats a favourite of mine too

Also, since I havent posted here before (I think?), maybe I should introduce myself a little:

My name is Gunnar and I live in Sweden. Sadly I havent seen any of the bands on my list in concert, but thats hopefully gonna change since I just got tickets to see Black Sabbath in Stockholm this summer! Crappy seats but who cares eh!

Hmm, 5 is too small a sample, so I'll post a list sure to fuck with people's heads.

1. Black Sabbath
2. Great Big Sea
3. Evanescence
4. The Distillers
5. They Might Be Giants




The ashamed list.

1. Blumchen, all of it.
2. Barbie Girl by Aqua, although I still hold that this is the greatest parody song ever.
3. Discovery Channel by Bloodhound Gang
4. Zoot Suit Riot by Cherry Poppin' Daddies
5. American Pie by Don Mclean - The reason this goes in the ashamed list is because I can sing the whole thing, albeit horribly off-key.

Hmm, 5 is too small a sample, so I'll post a list sure to fuck with people's heads.
Eww, now I need to clean this sticky fluid out of the gaping wound in my skull...
Thanks.

5) Slayer
4) Impaler
3) Black Sabbath
2) Judas Priest
1) Iron Maiden :headbang:

Skinny Puppy
The Cure
Bauhaus
Joy Division
NIne Inch Nails

Eww, now I need to clean this sticky fluid out of the gaping wound in my skull...
Thanks.
Glad to oblige, now I'm off to listen to some Charlie Daniels Band.

But what I want to say most of all is 'WHERE THE HELL ARE ALL THE PEARL JAM SUPPORTERS'!!!!!!!!!
I like Pearl Jam, but some of their stuff isn't very good. The "Riot Act" album is especially weak. Honestly, I wouldn't put them in the top 5 Seattle grunge bands, although that's not saying much as there's a huge saturation of talent there.

5: The Donnas (this is one that I'm not sure if I should put in an embarrased list or not. Anyway, I seem to enjoy listening to them so I'll run with it)

What's wrong with them? I saw them at Big Day Out and they were pretty good.


My name is Gunnar and I live in Sweden. Sadly I havent seen any of the bands on my list in concert, but thats hopefully gonna change since I just got tickets to see Black Sabbath in Stockholm this summer! Crappy seats but who cares eh!

Hey, I haven't seen any of my top 5 either. But Sabbath would be awesome to see :D

I like Pearl Jam, but some of their stuff isn't very good. The "Riot Act" album is especially weak. Honestly, I wouldn't put them in the top 5 Seattle grunge bands, although that's not saying much as there's a huge saturation of talent there.

Totally agreed. (Seeing Mudhoney next weekend :))

1. System of a Down.
2. Queen.
3. Apocalyptica (think 'Bond', but guys not girls, cellos not violins, and they play Metallica not classical :p)
4. Bi-2 (they're a russian rock band)
5. Splin (more rock a la ruski)

What's wrong with them? I saw them at Big Day Out and they were pretty good.



They were on my BDO list if I had made the trip up to Auckland, I reckon they'd do a good live set. I enjoyed the story that they used to play sort of bubblegum pop-rock as the Donnas, then rush off stage, change their clothes and come back as their then main band, the hard-rocking Electrochutes giving shit to the useless 'warm up band' they were forced to play with.

Pearl Jam
Bad Religion
Iron Maiden
Nirvana
Muse

My musical experience is somewhat limited though.

1. Pumpkins
2. NIN
3. QOTSA
4. Dandy Warhols
5. John Butler Trio

Totally agreed. (Seeing Mudhoney next weekend :))
Lucky you, I didn't know they were touring. *Checks the Mudhoney website*

Nile
Cryptopsy
Emperor
Slayer
Amon Amarth

Nile are good. I don't know why more people don't like them...

What does Cryptopsy sound like? They don't have gore-metal lyrics, do they?

Hmm, their set was a little bit "bubblegum pop" but they were actually pretty heavy. That could be hindsight, though, 'cause they were followed by Eskimo Joe, who played the most boring set possible.

I didn't know until I was paging through a copy of Rolling Stone at work and it caught my eye, causing me to make a curious "Haaa!" sound. It wasn't very well advertised at all, even though it's sold out already. I'm guessing it'll be a pretty small show, considering the club size, which is always a good thing. :)

Yeah, I noticed they only seem to be touring Australia. <sigh> You guys get the Hoodoo Gurus and You Am I, and now Mudhoney touring.
Yes, I know America has a lot of good bands, but many of them bypass Pittsburgh for whatever reason.

Here, in no particular order, and probably forgtting some important bands:

Queen
Rammstein
Led Zep
Muse
(this is a hard spot to fill... I'll just pull a random CD out of the collection and name someone...) SOAD

If indiviuals could fit in here, Cat Stevens.

I just went and looked up their lyrics, and they seem to be not as bad as Cannibal Corpse or their cohorts in mayhem...
But I don't know what you'd qualify as gore-metal lyrics.
What do they sound like?
Death fuckin' metal. They have some free tracks up on their website.

It makes a change, actually. Usually bands bypass our corner of the world...especially semi-obscure ones like Mudhoney. Well, i'll let you know how it was and maybe sneak in a digital camera to record some footage for you if I can :)

6. Hazel und Gretyl
7. Therion
8. RHCP
9. Megaherz
10. Stahlhammer

BOND is actually a string quartet for your info, the play on violins, viola's and cello's. I imagine Apocalyptica is the same thing, but they also play more than just metallica; I know they cover Rammstein among others. Not to be anal or anything but correct and accurate info is always helpful.

LG.

Okay, thanks. I think I will go see them when they come here next month. Yeah, Cannibal Corpse is what I would refer to as gore-metal, and I thought perhaps by some of their song titles that that's what they'd be. Glad they aren't.

Actually, now that I take a closer look, I'm beginning to think they may very well fall under the gore-metal banner...

I could swear I posted in here, but I can't seem to find my post..

Pink Floyd
Radiohead
U2
Led Zeppelin
Rush
Black Sabbath (hence the name)
Red Hot Chili Peppers (mostly pre- and including Blood Sugar Sex Magik, but I enjoyed By The Way. John Frusciante's solo 'Shadows Collide With People' is also pretty good, much different from anything he's done for the band)
Coldplay (I'm probably the only person on the face of the planet that thought Parachutes was better than A Rush Of Blood to the Head.)

Snowblinded, when I saw your name I was expecting to see Sabbath or SOAD in your list. :p
How presumptuous of me.

1. AC/DC
2. Iron Maiden
3. Metallica
4. Thin Lizzy
5. Pink Floyd

I forgot Sabbath?


*checks*

Oh God. :headbang:

I did enjoy System's music, but once I got sick of them I never went back. Their new album is coming out on March 1, though. I was excited about it 6 months ago, but not so much now since I haven't listened to them much.

Edit: I hate getting my shit lost on the last page.

For everyone's education and enjoyment (edujoyment), I now present the correct Top 5 Bands list:

1. Led Zeppelin

4. The Rolling Stones (If you discount everything post 1980)
5. Rage Against The Machine

Coldplay (I'm probably the only person on the face of the planet that thought Parachutes was better than A Rush Of Blood to the Head.)

AROBTTH was better, Scientist was the best song they have ever done.

1) Beatles
2) Van Halen (with Dave)
3) Guns + Roses
4) AC/DC
5) Black Sabbath
6) Iron maiden
7) Ratt
8) Tesla
9) changed my mind - Def Leppard
10) Scorpions

11) Who else could be #11 but..... Spinal Tap

And yes, that was more than five, this is rock and roll, no rules.

1. Pearl Jam
2. Guns N Roses
3. Stone Temple Pilots
4. Korn
5. The Killers (my current obsession)

Hmm, their set was a little bit "bubblegum pop" but they were actually pretty heavy. That could be hindsight, though, 'cause they were followed by Eskimo Joe, who played the most boring set possible.

I think when they went with The Donna's over the Electrochutes they went more punk, and then evolved to what they are now.
