Mine is pink floyd

Whats yours? And it has to be an actual band. no rappers.

Nightwish

Rappers can be bands you know.... they say so at least.

It's MUSE or maybe Rufus Wainwright or maybeSondre Lerche or Goldfrapp or maybe others.

They are not bands. its just one person saying nonssnse about how he thinks guns and crime are good, and adds izzle to the end of the last word on all lines just to rhyme what normally whould not.

Pink Floyd all the way... seriously Eclipse and Brain Damage, Comfortably Numb... those three songs clinch it.

That'll give an idea what I like.

That's just ignorant. Some rap is shit, yes, but the proportion is no better or worse than in modern rock.

Nightwish

Seconded.

Honestly, I ought to just copy my response so I can paste it whenever one of these threads comes up.

It's still the White Stripes.

Ah I see I am not the only one with a Last.fm account.

Right now my favorite is a tie between The Offspring, Muse, and Tchaikovsky.

Nirvana.

...I can't decide. v.v Burzum sucks by definition. Go with My Dying Bride.

Green Day.

Pink Floyd all the way... seriously Eclipse and Brain Damage, Comfortably Numb... those three songs clinch it.

Yes! I totally agree! Listening to Pulse now :D

As far as modern bands go, I like Placebo, a band based in Britain:p

Hmm. Led Zep..
Or sometims Deftones depending on mood.

ahahahha burzum. that stuff is too funny. favorite band though? idk, i guess you could say my most influential band. the band that got me into metal in the first place was metallica. ride the lightning. and i still love them to this day. however st. anger wasnt all it was cracked up to be. but i still love the band. right now though, my current favorite band. its this horror punk band called calabrese. i dont even like punk that much. im a huge metal head, but i cant stop listening to them.

and what your saying about rap. well, its all a matter of opinion. but as for me? i like some underground hip hop. immortal technique is like the death metal of the rap genre. same thing with necro. but immortal technique is alot more political. very left wing. i think hes awesome. now it may not take much musical prowess to write a rap song. you need to be a good lyricist. if it is to be a good rap song. you should really check out immortal technique. some of his rhymes are just nutz.

Iron Maiden of course.

Awesome! *gives you a massive, massive cookie.*

Dragonforce

I really can't pick just one favorite. In no particular order:
U2
Soul Asylum
Dropkick Murphys
Pearl Jam
The Who
AC/DC
Pink Floyd

Dragonforce
woo! ah i have a special place for that band in my head cos i found them in the heyday of mp3.com when they were unsigned and had only put about 4 or 5 songs on there, including Valley Of The Damned. so when i sent them an email saying 'awesome stuff! more like that song please!' and got a reply back saying something like 'cool, thanks for the feedback', it was just really awesome :D

and then about 2 years later i saw their album in the shops (and got it of course)

same thing happened with Adema, oddly enough...

Rush, of course. I'm listening to Hemispheres at the moment.

Strawberry Happy Hoppers

(AKA Shh....)

it's the band my 2 year old and 4 year old started.

U2

Dropkick Murphys

Pink Floyd
+3000 points for liking Soul Asylum.

Right now, my "favourite band" should be Kent.
Possibly followed by Warsaw Village Band, just for kicks.

Jump, Little Children

I think they shortened it to just Jump for their latest album.

(Hey, rappers can't be bands? What about the Wu Tang Clan? What about the St. Lunatics? What about the Franchize Boyz? Seriously.)

Cathedrals by Jump, Little Children is amazing. It's a shame I have had a hard time finding other stuff by them.

the futureheads at the moment but it changes all the time. still they'r the most consistent and i keep returning to them.

Evanescence

I don't have any particular favorites.

CD I have listened to the most lately: Z by My Morning Jacket

Song I have listened to the most lately: Pocketful of Money by Jens Lekman

Nightwish

:cool: :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool:

Great band.

Queen are my favuorite though- best band thats ever been.

I've got a buttload of their stuff. If you really want it, TG me and we can set up an AIM thing or something, depending on your connection. You can also actually buy their music *gasp* on Amazon or through their website, www.jumphq.com.

"This is Spinal Tap" is the Band's Documentry. It is also among the greatest films of all time, according to Roger Ebert.
Who could forget such classics as "Hellhole," "Big Bottoms," and "Listen to the flower people"?

I don't like putting my credit card online. Not to mention that I am a poor college student.

Melvins all the way, baby.

Rush

Pink Floyd
Nightwish
Rage Against the Machine

Dave Matthews Band all the way!! :D


Nightwish
Nooooooooooo... *hides* Don't let TG play Nightwish.

:gundge: Why dont you people see? by far the answer is Toto. And no, rappers are NOT bands and therefore do not count xxx

:gundge: Why dont you people see? by far the answer is Toto. And no, rappers are NOT bands and therefore do not count xxx

Aaaah! First post-gun smilie! Unholy Alliance! Unholy Alliance!

*Casts turn undead* Yeah! S'right! ph33r my cleric :D

As for favourite bands there are way too many. I could go by whatever's in my minidisc player at the moment, as that doesn't usually change for several months at a time lol. By that medium it'd be Reel Big Fish (Cheer Up), but a while ago it would've been Green Day, then before that Queen, then before that Genesis, and so it goes on.

Ooh! Or maybe Spandau Ballet at the moment. Got the best of CD in my player lol.

The Doors, Santana, Jefferson Airplane, and Crosby, Stills, & Nash are all up there.

couldn't pick just one, list: :cool: (in no order)

Iron Maiden
Dragonforce
Blind Guardian
Edguy
Megadeth
Kamelot
Sonata Arctica
Old Metallica
Judas Priest
Helloween
Dream Theater

and any shreddy stuff like Jason Becker, Racer X, Malmsteen etc

Biffy Clyro.

And Radiohead.

Fav band right now:.... Toss up between two.

At the Drive-In or The Mars Volta.

This is damn near the hardest question I've ever had to answer! Especially if I'm only allowed to pick one ALL TIME favorite!!! But, if I must, I'd have to say...*Does drum roll on computer desk*...

Metallica!!!

When you consider the fact that every album they recorded, from Kill Em' All to ...And Justice was an absolute masterpiece, that's one hell of a span!!! The Black album was probably the beginning of their downward spiral but still earns a grade of 80%, whereas everything before Black was 100%! They steadily slid down the "sellout" slope but didn't hit rock bottom until Saint Anger!!! All in all, that's pretty impressive!!!

Honorable Mentions:

The Eagles
Pink Floyd
Queen

:cool: :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool:

Great band.

Queen are my favuorite though- best band thats ever been.
You prolly never heard of pink floyd.

Hmm... I don't really have a favorite band. I tend to oscillate in between a number of really good bands and then fixate on one when a really good album comes out. Some of my favorites include:

- Bad Religion
- Anti-Flag
- Protest the Hero
- Fugazi
- Minor Threat

There are others, but those five tend to see the most play.

I have a last.fm account (thanks to seeing PM post about it once or twice), which is: http://www.last.fm/user/NS_KSP/

That said, a lot of my music has no "name" on tracks, so only music that I haven't downloaded shows. That and I haven't got the money to convince friends to DL for me or to buy new CDs.

radiohead

hmmmm. Jimi Hendrix, or The Hives. Whatever fits my mood.

Queen

You prolly never heard of pink floyd.

I have, its just they can't touch Queen.

Nevermore, Slayer, or Megadeth

Green Day
:headbang:

Definitely Queen. I also like Iron Maiden, Metallica, G n R, Bon Jovi (going to see the latter three this summer!), HIM, The Darkness, Green Day and The Who. As for single artists, Meat Loaf, Bowie. There are others I listen to quite a lot, but those are the main ones that come to mind.

My Top 10 list changes on a daily basis, completely dependent on how my day went and what my mood/mindset is. Current band/album:

Agalloch - The Mantle
Anathema - A Natural Disaster
Arcade Fire - Funeral
Caribou - The Milk of Human Kindness
Circulatory System - Circulatory System
Dead Soul Tribe - A Murder of Crows
Isis - Oceanic
Katatonia - Viva Emptiness
November's Doom - Of Sculptured Ivy and Stone Flowers
Porcupine Tree - In Absentia

Hmm, sort of depressing. Listening to Porcupine Tree now, Heart Attack in a Lay-by.

It's good to see a growing amount of DragonForce on here, cause they are so great... :p

I'll be seeing them live next month... :)

Quite possibly...Acid Bath!
Guns N' Roses is probably second!
Third will go to Lynard Skynard!

Grandaddy.

No question about it: Indigo Girls!

3. Fear Factory
4. Sevendust
5. Blind Guardian
6. Tool
7. Mudvayne

Either the Cure or the Sex Pistols.

Your second two choices are shitty, but i'll forgive you because Acid Bath are awesome.

Not a bad list there Delator

And honourable mention goes to queen, just coz.

But, for my favourite,it just HAS to be....


The Butterfly Effect!

Sadly not too many people know about them :(

They're a really good Brisbane band... http://www.thebutterflyeffect.com.au/main.html

...

Eww.

:p

eww they're back or eww thank fuck
first one : gulp, people like that exist?
second : better than thanking god. not quite appropriate i figure

Not a bad list there Delator

I know it's not! :p

Damn, they're even big in Australia, huh? As for the other two choices, I kinda' tried to space the generations out! It's like Skynard for the 60's - 70's, GNR for the 80's - 90's, & Acid Bath for the 90's til' now!
I could have been here all morning naming killer bands but I decided to keep it as simple as possible!:cool:

Not big at all, but i'm just into that sort of thing. :p


eww they're back or eww thank fuck
first one : gulp, people like that exist?
second : better than thanking god. not quite appropriate i figure

"Eww they're back" it was. Frogstomp and Freak Show were OK albums with some good songs, Neon Ballroom a bizarre mix of decent and terrible, and Diorama was diarrhoea without a single redeeming quality. Just my opinion.

its ok, you're allowed to have it
i loved diorama until i got frogstomp
and now, i just dont know
i definately love the earlier stuff more
but diorama just so different, like a whole new band so its hard to judge

Hmm...
Nightwish, Nightwish and Nightwish.

All-time: The Clash
Right now: Turbo AC's
Most played: tie between Die Streuner (german medieval folk) and Tiger Army

Genesis (up until And Then There Were Three anyway).

7 Seconds of Love http://www.7secondsoflove.com/

SR-71

Men Women and Children

Hmm...
Nightwish, Nightwish and Nightwish.
What do you think, will Nightwish ever be the same again? Can they find someone to replace Tarja? I have my doubts.

My favourite (at the moment)
Kotiteollisuus

OK, so I'll be the first one to mention:

Black Sabbath, Mercyval Fate, QMS, RHCP, Sublime, Hole, Jane's Addiction, the Cramps, the Selecter, Big Brother & the Holding Company, and the greatest band of all time--duh--the Beatles.

Oh, and there are some good rap bands, e.g., House of Pain, Digital Underground, Beastie Boys, Sugarhill Gang.

Relient K

It's good to see a growing amount of DragonForce on here, cause they are so great... :p

I'll be seeing them live next month... :)

I saw them live in January and they rocked (in fact it was one of my fav gigs ever as both support bands rocked too (sabathon and Ed-Guy), the only thign they could have doen better was to turn the drums down a notch and turn the 2 lead giutars up 2 notchs, a lot of the whole point of Dragonforce is the 2 awesome giutarists and it is kind of spoiled when you can't actually hear them aboce the only slightly less awesome thunder of the drums.

Wu-Tang Clan and Cypress Hill.
Oh, and Saetia, Orchid and Envy too.

Mine is pink floyd

Whats yours? And it has to be an actual band. no rappers.

The Beastie Boys. Fuck you.

Mine is pink floyd

I'd have to agree Pink Floyd are my favourites followed by Queen, Red Hot Chili Peppers ( are probably a very close second to Pink Floyd), Weezer, Faith No More The Offspring, Smashing Pumpkins, Foo Fighters.

Black Sabbath.

All else is inferior.

The Beastie Boys are rappers, and they are a rap group. Could we nominate NWA or Public Enemy or Run-DMC or any of the multitude of other "rap groups"?

Don't forget the Bloodhound Gang.:p

Hmmm..... She was such a great singer, but didnt really contribute much else to the band; if they can recruit a sdimilar-sounding singer I think they can be just as good as before.

Also, they could let Marco sing.... He's really good on Dead to the World:p

I can't decide on a favourite band, so my top ten are:

1. Rammstein
2. Limp Bizkit
3. Rage Against the Machine
4. Spineshank
5. Pantera
6. Nightwish
7. The Killers
8. Interpol
9. Linkin Park
10. Disturbed

65daysofstatic >> everything.
Saw them for the 9th time on Saturday, still fucking awesome.

Secret Machines get an honourable mention for a mindblowing gig last night.

Fear all that is:
Lordi! (http://www.lordi.org/)
Watch Eurovision Song Contest, yar!

Don't forget the Bloodhound Gang.:p

I try to forget about them whenever they're brought up.

Tenacious D...

I dislike the Mars Volta.

They're a group you either get, or really, really don't get at all.

has to be either foo fighters, nirvana, tenacious d,

but lets be honest how can you say beastie boys cannot be included?

Anyone heard of jurassic 5? they definetly do not rap about guns etc. A very ignorant view if you ask me.

I noticed they were playing at my Uni's student bar, didn't get a chance to see them though.

Worth checking out for someone that likes the following bands?

Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Metallica, DragonForce, Dungeon, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Queensryche, Savatage... to name a few.

Sweet, hopefully they have everything sorted out when they come to Brissie.

Yep, if you like them I reckon you'll like these guys, they perhaps arent as angry as the other, and you may not like that, but its certainly worth a shot.

Muse, definitely.

I didn't like Absolution a lot though, and that was the first album of theirs that people seemed to actually know of in my country. I picked up Origin of Symmetry at KaDeWe in Berlin a couple of years ago and Newborn from that album is probably my favourite song. It's even better in person :D.

Don't forget the Bloodhound Gang.:p

Hahhaahah, I love the Bloodhound Gang XD. Hell Yeah is an awesome song.

Also, Tenacious D is exceedingly awesome.

3 Inches of Blood

Honorable mentions:
MANOWAR
Gorgoroth
Misfits

What's angry about any of those bands? Except for maybe Ozzy in Sabbath...

I got a wide variation of taste. Let me demonstrate.
I love slipknot and have tried many a time to go and see them to no avail.
I have seen Greenday live and they put on an amazing show.
I just got tickets to see Maiden in december, £130!! :mad: (but im very happy really).
My overall choice is IRON MAIDEN!!

£130? Fuck. It's costing me that much to go to Download.

At the moment Rilo Kiley occupies my song list. Pink Floyd and Switchfoot are good too.

Definatly Iron Maiden and dope

the best band IMHO is a tie between

-65daysofstatic

-the libertines

-Death from above 1979

but if I have to choose its 65daysofstatic because of the drums in Await rescue

I prefer the drums in This Cat is a Landmine, though each to their own, I guess. And Radio Protector pwns all.

What's angry about any of those bands? Except for maybe Ozzy in Sabbath...

Ok, perhaps angry was the wrong choice of word... in fact, I'm not sure there is a word to describe the difference. Perhaps its just the awesomeness of the vocals, it goes almost operatic sometimes.

Symphony X, no question.

As for runners up: Kamelot, Queensryche, and Dream Theater are all very good bands. Might I also mention Ayreon, which isn't a band (more like a one-time rock opera project), but has some top-notch music under its name.

£130? Fuck. It's costing me that much to go to Download.
Yeah 130£ for 2 standing tickets for maiden december 15th secc!! *WOOPS* i can't wait... going to be a long year. *sits and waits*

The Strokes
I think Heart in a Cage is their best song.

Yeah 130£ for 2 standing tickets for maiden december 15th secc!! *WOOPS* i can't wait... going to be a long year. *sits and waits*
Ok, for two tickets that's better. I thought you meant you'd spent £130 just for one ticket. Still...that's half as much as I'm paying to go to Download, and over twice as much as I'd consider reasonable to spend on any one band (except Radiohead or a reformed Pink Floyd).

Electric Light Orchestra

Ok, perhaps angry was the wrong choice of word... in fact, I'm not sure there is a word to describe the difference. Perhaps its just the awesomeness of the vocals, it goes almost operatic sometimes.

Ah, so it's melodic. In that case you should listen to DragonForce, melodic vocals with super fast power metal guitars.

You can listen to sample tracks on their site.

http://www.dragonforce.com

The Yeah Yeah Yeahs

Pendulum

The White Stripes.

G's N' F'n R's

Megadeth and AC/DC
