Who is your favorite band and why?
Mine is H.I.M. because they are awesome

That's a great reason...

Anyway, mine's the Sex Pistols. It's the way they worked together, their sound, and what they stood for.

Jane's Addiction. Navarro is one of my favorite "modern" guitarists.

Speaking of Dave Navarro, he kicks total ass on "Camp Freddy Radio" on Indie 103.1. He's a class act and a great guy.

Guns n Roses
Queen
3 Doors Down
Bif Naked
Breaking Benjamin
Guano apes
Nightwish
Lacuna Coil
Live
Tortilla Army
Tsunami Bomb

The CD's I seem to listen too most at the mo, will probably change by next week ;)

Led Zeppelin > you

Led Zeppelin > you

The Professionals are worlds better.

Led Zeppelin > The Professionals

Have you even heard of the Professionals?

Aside from me talking about them, that is.

I've heard of the movie The Professionals, but not a band called The Professionals.

Cream, i guess. i like many bands on different levels.

and thats the old Cream with Ginger Baker, Jack Bruce and Eric Clapton... none of this "new" stuff :rolleyes:

Then the Professionals >>>>> Led Zeppelin.

Listen to "1-2-3". It's got one hell of a riff, and an even better chorus.

Led Zeppelin or Rage Against the Machine

Everything by them is good

Ultimately Korn, but at the moment I'm listening to Soulfly, Bloodbath and Arch Enemy the most. Why? Cuz real metal is good.

New rules...now add a favorite concert from the band(s) if you ever went to one :D

Ya know, where I come from everyone listens to the Sex Pistols... Lovey you know that's a rather amusing irony....

And where I come from, nobody knows who they are. So go flush your "irony" down the toilet.

K... the Korn, Static-X, Fear Factory tour was fuckin awesome.

Reel Big Fish - hellz yeah!

New rules...now add a favorite concert from the band(s) if you ever went to one :D

Since Led Zeppelin broke up about 3 years before I was born, I sadly missed any chance to see them live. So my DVD of their live footage will be the closest I will ever get.

Of the live footage I've seen, the best Pistols show in the 70's was their Wolverhampton one (I think that was it) in December of '77.

Of the latest footage I've seen, their best is the Crystal Palace show. And when I saw them on Jimmy Kimmel Live in 2003, they kicked total ass (though that really wasn't a true gig).

best concert? Rammstein or Saxon... Tuska Festival was also great as hell!

fav. band?
Alltime:
Sentenced
Dark Tranquillity
Pink Floyd

At The Moment:
The Notwist
Boards of Canada
And ummm... Rammstein


:> How about that for being versatile.

The Pistols weren't a fad band, which is one reason I love them so much. People started ridiculous fads because of them, but as with any good band, it happens.

By the way... Did you like my sheep insult?

REM...you live anywhere near Athens, or just a fellow nerd?

I'm just a fellow nerd! :)

I'll say Queen, because all round, their music is brilliant, innovative and keeps making me happy everytimeI listen to it. I dunno, you can just keep finding new ways to appreciate it.

And watching their concert DVD's is a joy. Well, watching Freddy is a joy.

Freddy Mercury was a fucking god. I love Queen, but sadly, I don't have any of their music, on Records, CD's, or my trusty Laptop...

:o You can pick up The Platinum Collection(all their Greatest Hits) relatively cheap. I got mine for like $20. One day I hope to own all their albums...

Probably either The Ramones or Kill Hannah.
Or the Smashing Pumpkins.

I don't take kindly to CD's. I'd rather collect their records from auctions on Ebay.

Yeah yeah, CD's are easy to use and all that shit, but Records sound a hundred times better ten times over. They also last longer, and are far more resistant to damage.

My uncle has a vast collection of records... Since I'm the only one really into them, I should hope to nick off with them... Lots of Led Zep, Queen and 70's musc. I think I was born a few years too late.

Edit: I TG's ya too.

Tool
Dream Theater
Pink Floyd
Rush

Pretty muh perfect. :) He still listens to them. And my grandma likes Stairway to Heaven. LOL. Little old Indian lady in sari...

Hey, it's a good song! Over-played, but still good nonetheless. If you ever wanna know how to rip a Vinyl Record to a computer so you can play it without damaging, I'll tell you. It's actually quite simple.

Reel Big Fish - hellz yeah!

Good choice. :D

The Arcade Fire, Suburban Legends, and The Littlest Man Band are all tied for my favorite band at the moment. Check them all out on MySpace:

Queen IS really good.
And thats all we listen to in the band room (in in high school :headbang: )

Rush.

This topic surprises me; I thought that the whole world had gone Rap and R'n'B. It's so good to know that people still listen to other kinds of music - as the market is so saturated with R'n'B and Rap now. You can't turn on a radio without hearing one of Snoop Dog's "network" crooning some drug and hoes song.

What about Aqua! (Sarcasm - honestly.)
That could be a sequel thread - worst bands. I know a lot of em!

good idea...there is a worst song thread out though

Aqueduct on the other hand rocks.Aqueduct (http://www.barsuk.com/web.cgi?bark042) is a new band with soul and synthesizers. Good sound.

I really like multi-genre bands -
-Tom Petty and the Heart Breakers
-POD
-Millencollin
- a little Bob Marley never hurt anyone, either
