Nightwish is my favorite. The others are in no particular order. I personally listen to a lot of different styles of music, but these are bands that manage to bring out albums that I love just about every song on.

*raises eyebrow*

Whaaa?Skrewdriver, Greenday, and Rage Against the Machine on the same list? WTF?
*joins in eyebrow raising*

Your Aussie list lacks Spiderbait. Tsk.

Although your international list is excellent.

The band who brought us such literary gems as "Taxes are Stealing", "Jesus Christ, Homosexual", "The Bible is Bullshit", and "Christians Murdered Indians"?

There is NO excuse for NOT knowing Corporate Avenger. :D

(Just a few off the top of my head). :)You have a lot of classic industrial bands on your list. I'm just starting to get into KMFDM, Pigface, and Skinny Puppy, so they can't make my top 75 list (yet). And +50 points for knowing Silverfish. :)

Wow - you've picked yourself three SERIOUS back-catalogues there... especially when you include all the side-projects,etc.

I got into Silverfish a fair old while back, about the same time I discovered Bikini Kill and Babes in Toyland, L7, etc. Were you aware that Lesley Rankine was in Pigface after Silverfish, but before Ruby? (She is on the "Fook" album)...

And, of course, the real beauty is that pretty much everyone that matters has been in Pigface at some point: Michael Gira (Swans), Lesley Rankine (Ruby), Trent Reznor (NIN), Black Francis (Pixies), Flea (Chili Peppers), Meg Lee Chin (Crunch), David Yow (Jesus Lizard), Genesis P Orridge (Throbbing Gristle), Ogre (Skinny Puppy), En Esch (KMFDM), Martin Atkins (P.I.L)....etc.

Should have put Suede, The Smiths and Joy Division on MY list... d'oh! :)

*raises eyebrow*

Whaaa?

Yes, Skrewdriver are racist fucks. But listen to the song Boots and Braces. Ahhh they're pretty damn good. Don't think I'd go to a tribute concert. I'd probly get the shit kicked out of me.

And yes, to Laerod and Potaria, my taste in music is extremely varied, I like commies, sellouts, anarchists, anti-semites, black nationalists and even prog rock.

Oh, and I added Guns N roses, Charles Manson and the libertines to my list

seen a couple of people mention some of the same bands as me - but I seem to like much softer indie then everyone else...

I feel like such a girlie!!! ;)

I'm really surprised at the responses this thread has gotten - it seems like only the people who like the kinds of music that have mainly been mentioned (I don't even know what to call it, I guess heavy metal, punk, stuff like that) have posted their lists... I was happy to read your list, finally someone who liked at least some of the same stuff as me ;) (does that make me a girlie?)

My favorite band would have to be Belle & Sebastian, and I like the side projects too like Looper and Gentle Waves (happy to see you list them).

Except those are the only indie-pop bands I've really been able to get into, I've listened to a lot of stuff on your list and while it's not bad, I just could never get into them like I did with Belle & Sebastian. I mean I like Camera Obscura too, but I don't like all their stuff.

Anyway, here's some more things I like beyond what I mentioned above (we have to expand "bands" into "bands and people who sometimes play with bands"):

Donovan
Bob Dylan
Neil Young
David Bowie
Ryuichi Sakamoto
Kraftwerk
2raumwohne
Joan Baez
The Band
Velvet Underground (well I used to like them a lot, I pretty much lost interest in them but don't deny that they have some great stuff)
Nick Drake
Grateful Dead
Joni Mitchell
Oda Yuji
Traveling Wilburys
Tom Petty
Isobel Campbell (okay so she formed Gentle Waves who I already mentioned, so what, she has solo stuff too)

Yes, Skrewdriver are racist fucks. But listen to the song Boots and Braces. Ahhh they're pretty damn good. Don't think I'd go to a tribute concert. I'd probly get the shit kicked out of me.

The tune 'Boots & Braces' is from their pre-racist period.

They were actually a pretty good Garagey/R'n'B/Punk band for a short period of time before most of the original members left and the rot set in. The LP All Skrewed Up remains a minor classic and is more than a touch reminiscent of the Jam's first LP.

Fun trivia fact: Mark Radcliffe (yeah, that Mark Radcliffe) once drummed for Skrewdriver.

Wow - you've picked yourself three SERIOUS back-catalogues there... especially when you include all the side-projects,etc.Thanks. I figure since I've basically gotten what I could of the Swans back catalogue, I'd pick some artists with catalogues of similar sizes. :)


I got into Silverfish a fair old while back, about the same time I discovered Bikini Kill and Babes in Toyland, L7, etc. Were you aware that Lesley Rankine was in Pigface after Silverfish, but before Ruby? (She is on the "Fook" album)...Yeah, I liked Ruby and so I started listening to Silverfish. And Fook is the first Pigface album I got. Supposedly she coined the phrase "Hips, Tits, Pussy, Power".


And, of course, the real beauty is that pretty much everyone that matters has been in Pigface at some point: Michael Gira (Swans), Lesley Rankine (Ruby), Trent Reznor (NIN), Black Francis (Pixies), Flea (Chili Peppers), Meg Lee Chin (Crunch), David Yow (Jesus Lizard), Genesis P Orridge (Throbbing Gristle), Ogre (Skinny Puppy), En Esch (KMFDM), Martin Atkins (P.I.L)....etc.Is there a member of Pigface who's a constant member? I thought it was Martin Atkins, but now I'm not so sure.

Here's a mostly full list of what I own...I have some copied CD's I haven't bothered to put down. And a lot of bands that I like, and would buy albums of...if only I could find them. (Love Battery, Mother Love Bone, etc)

Yeah, well, I wouldn't listen to them out of principle...

Your taste is otherwise good. I like most of those bands. :)

Surely you forgot Radiohead? ;)

Is there a member of Pigface who's a constant member? I thought it was Martin Atkins, but now I'm not so sure.

Not meaning to confuse issues... yes, Martin Atkins IS Pigface - in as much as he is the only 'required' member for it to 'be' Pigface.

Not to say that all Martin Atkins projects are Pigface projects, of course... the Ritalin side project is just a delicious crossbreed between Atkins and Ogre.

I travelled in the opposite direction to you... the first place I encountered the Swans was through Pigface, and then, later, the Angels of Light.

The version I heard about the "Hits,Tits, Lips" thing, is that it was based on an old Silverfish T-shirt?

Everyone should mention Pink Floyd at least once
