Favourite Bands

[Arwin]

Let's get the Music rolling...

So, who are you're top 2 favourite bands? Why? Favourite songs?

1) Red Hot Chili Peppers - Because I think they're unique and talented combining rock and funk together to make an individual sound which when they first came out, no other bands really had.

Favourite songs have gotta be: Rivers Of Avalon, I Could Die For You, Can't Stop, The Zephyr Song, Venice Queen, Otherside, Scar Tissue, Under The Bridge, Give It Away...

Was supposed to go and see Feeder at the NEC in Birmingham - England last night but they cancelled with 7 hours to go..........what a bummer.

Had to stay in, was gonna play LOL then the server went down - ended up watchin "I'm a Celebrity..........."

God...........someone pass me a razor.................

[cunningmark]

Gillette or Bic?

[Archangel]

Cut-throat please...............

[cunningmark]

All clear the non-entity is over

Yet there is still a prog on about it tonight, so razors at the ready!!!

[Enkidu]

Only two bands :eek:

1. Metallica - grew up with the early albums and saw them live several times, just loved the speed and agression mixed with subtle time changes and original bass lines

2. Jeffrson Airplane/ Great Society - Listened to them heavily during my more relaxed moments at Uni so the music holds some dear memories for me.

Honourable mentions have to go to

Dumpys Rusty Nuts - A great Rock and Blues band who I still cant listen to without smiling

Macc Lads - Good old fashioned full on punk/rock with a great sense of humour and ability to stick two fingers up at the pc world we live in

Iron Maiden - What needs to be said one of a kind and one of the first of the NWOBHM

Black Sabbath - such morrose and dark music with out them would we have half the metal there is today

the list could go on but two others have to be mentioned

Leanord Cohen and Neil Diamond such great song writers and amazing talents the world would be a poorer place with out them

[cunningmark]

Dumpys Rusty Nuts and Macc Lads

I was about to go back and add those to mine, excerlent choice (still remember the Newcastle Brown Ale stunt)

[SirCrush]

1) Linkin Park. Why? Growing up, I was into pop music and my taste changed upon entering my teens. I ended up falling (yes falling) into the Rap/Hip Hop scene, more specifically, Bone Thugs-n-Harmony (STILL love them...they'd be #3 now). Well, after learning every last one of their songs, I decided I didn't want to act like I was Afrcan American anymore...so in an effort to embrace my "own culture" I started listening to rock, then eventually hard rock. Linkin Park was there when I made this decision and they are THE PERFECT blend of Rap and Rock...nobody NOBODY does it better. And their words just hit home for me...
Favorite Song by LP: P54NG M3 AWY from the Reanimation Album (Track 6)

2) Flaw. Why? I started listening to Flaw by accident. I was searching for a new band to listen to and came across the Scorpion King Soundtrack. Flaw had a song on there that made me go "Ooh...I'm gonna buy that CD" and sure enough, I bought it. From cover to cover my first impression was simply AMAZED. FINALLY a hard rock band with a positive message in nearly every song. Poetic, heartfelt lyrics sang over passionate guitar chords (albeit pretty simple). I think there isn't a band out there that does the transition from hard to soft within a single song so fluidly and emotionally...
Favorite Song by Flaw: "Not Enough" from the Endangered Species Album (Track 12)

[StarDust]

All time favorite: Eric Clapton! :D He has been my absolute favorite ever since I can remember. Never get tired of listening to any of his music. Love his guitar technique and love his lyrics...he has just the best combination.

I watched a Cream reunion concert on MPBN a couple of nights ago...It was really cool...but strange seeing these Old Grey Haired men playing such awesome music lol.

I'd say my favorite songs of his would be:
Have You Ever Loved a Woman (guitar and lyrics)
Wonderful Tonight (lyrics lol..and yeah..it's OLD like me hehe)
Layla
Before You Accuse Me
Alberta (lol..it's acoustic)

OK...there's too many lol..I could go on and on.

Stevie Ray Vaughan would be my second...just an incredible guitarist and sometimes fun, lol..as in Mary Had a Little Lamb...love that song! :p

[spazcat]

LOVE LOVE LOVE Dave Matthews Band!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Songs - - Jimi Thing, Stay, Warehouse.......just got "The Complete Weekend at the Rocks" yesterday in the mail.....

Also, Theory of a Deadman, Disturbed, Linkin Park (thank you Sir!), blah blah blah - - - but DMB is the best.

[Arwin]

Two bands too hard?

How about your favourite bands.. maxmium being 10.. or this could take a wee while lol.


Black Sabbath I totally agree.

AC/DC is another of my favourites... Angus Young is a genius, they manage to make songs that keep you interested and have had ana amazing career with a very large fan base because they're songs attract so many people.

[Ring0]

It's hard to say I like a lot of bands and try not to fall into getting picky on favourites, but I'd have to say:

1.- The Beatles: because they make simple yet deep music, and have no set sound. Few songs sound alike and they cover nearly every type of feeling you can think of. And they are brittish, to boot.

Fave songs? So many.. : Come together, Drive my car, Yesterday, Can't buy me Love, Get back, Hey Jude, Eleanor Rigby, Yellow Submarine, Paperback writer, Day tripper, Help!, Love me do, Free as a bird, My Michelle, etc. :P

2.- AC/DC: They are energy-filled, and can make you get out of even the worst moments with their superb catchy and punch-packing riffs. And they are australian, to reboot.

Fave's?: Back in Black, Highway to Hell, Hell's Bells, Thunderstruck, You shook me all night long, TNT, Ballbreaker, WHo made Who, For those about to rock, Spellbound

3.- Guns N' Roses (old formation): Some beautiful songs, some rocking tunes. Amazing talent and unique sound, who else can take you down to Paradise City?

Few here really: Welcome to the Jungle, Sweet Child o' Mine, Paradise City, Knocking on Heaven's door, November Rain and Civil War

4.- RHCP: quite like Arwin really, they are very unique and talented in their own way, in that they express very down-to-earth emotions and situations (Under the Bridge, Give it away) with amazing simplicity, but great beauty.
Under the Bridge, Can't Stop, By the way, Give it away, Californication, Scar Tissue, you know what? Just copy all the ones Arwin posted.

5.- Led Zeppelin: I've only heard a few led zep songs so far, but they've all reached deep into me, Stairway to Heaven is, to me, the most beautiful music ever made, and all the rest of their songs are class, I will get around to hearing them all someday, they have a massive collection hehe

They are: Stairway to Heaven (*drool*), Heartbreaker, Black Dog, Achilles Last Stand, Houses of the Holy, Inmigrant Song.

[Ichigo]

Linkin Park

[Penguin]

Whoah Ichigo, don't get too descriptive on us! :p


1.) System of A Down - I never heard anything like them. They made such unique music, combining metal with Middle Eastern music in Hypnotize, I would have never guessed.

Favorite songs: Chop Suey, Sugar, Spiders, Question, She's Like Heroin

2.) Reel Big Fish - Simply the first 3ed wave ska I ever heard.

Favorite songs: A.W.E.S.O.M.E., Sell Out, Drinking Song.

[Arwin]

Penguin, I agree with Reel Big Fish.

And also they have to be one of the happiest bands I've heard, they're songs all have uplifting beats and there is musical talent with trumpets and such used within the band. ( All happy songs maybe not including Drunk Again).

Seeing them again in a Month.:D

[StripeyHobo]

well hmmm i have loads of fave bands slayer cant beat a bit of thrash, nirvana mudhoney alice chains god i love grunge to then theres cathedral ooo doom metal drools o and then theres my weird love of kate bush

[Corejam]

Well my bands seem to change quite often, but at the moment i'm mostly listening to Between the Buried and Me. A fantastic band if you like the sounds of converge, DEP, but with the strangeness off System and the bizarely heaviness of Tool. All i can say amazing guitar work.

[Arwin]

Yeah I agree there too Calster, Hendrix is one of my favourites.. such a talented guitarist.

[Ring0]

psycho you just listed most of my faves in there too :D

Hendrix is a virtuosso, he totally reinvented the way people look at guitar, so much that even today he still casts a long shadow over most rock music!

And he never knew what a comb was either :p

[punamitsunami]

10 years wastland

[Regretfulpsycho]

see, i just have a wide music taste, anyone heard of H.M.P?

[Nilynrae]

I hadn't but I got curious and went to their website - Heavy Metal Poetry? (Alex Rasmussen sounds familiar somehow...)

Now I'm more curious - and if you like that Psycho, try Elend - it's what Dante's Inferno would be if it was music instead of poetry... very metal opera/poetry. :)

[Regretfulpsycho]

hmm, H.M.P are great, saw them on myspace, i love their song "Independence"

there Myspace page- http://www. myspace.com/hmpband

[Jeffrah]

Can't believe no one has said Skynyrd. Free Bird is by far the greatest song ever. Period.

Second, probably Eagles. Favorite song... Take It Easy or Hotel California.

[Ichigo]

Linkin Park is my favorite band

[PaxenShadow]

Haha no ones doing it the way their supposed too

1)Coldplay - *sigh* For so many reasons... but mainly because their lyrics... ehhh feel right if you know what I mean and instumentally they are amazing
Fav songs:Clocks, Talk, We Never Change, Trouble, Square One, A Whisper

2)Jimmy Eat World - For the same reasons I feel a kind of... connection with their lyrics
Fav songs:Polaris, My Sundown, The World You Love

There are loads more like Nightwish and U2 but you get the idea...

[aptemis]

1)Misfits or Danzig - so simple with brilliant lyrics and still going danzig because hes a genious brilliant.

2) Staind - under-rated because of the 2 songs they brought out werent their best- get 14 shades of grey! and metallica audioslave static x rammstein and rob zombie deserve a mention although also love weezer!

[Sword-Slayer]

*Phew* hard decision!

1- 3 Doors Down
Fave Tracks - Here Without You, Here By Me, Kryptonite

2- Seether
Fave Tracks - Fine Again, Because Of Me, Sold Me, Out Of My Way

I can't say why i like them, it's just natural that their music is my taste lol :D

[madness7]

like everyone says, very difficult to narrow it down to just 2, but here goes:

1 - Madness.. without a doubt my fave band ever, always will be.
fave songs: primrose hill, wings of a dove, mr speaker, dissapear, etc etc

2 - Steve Harley.. only pipping the Who to the post because he writes so beautifully, and man what a live performance. Not that the Who don't do either of those things, but this moment in time, Harley gets it.
fave songs: the last feast, dino, riding the waves, psychomodo

[Elrith]

I'd gotta say my favorite band is anything J-pop/Video game composers. And then there's Debussy, Chopin, Beethoven...

[wry_onion]

At the moment:

1)The Beatles - always the top of my list. Their music changed my life.

2) Megadeth - Great music, deep lyrics, 2nd best concert I've seen. (Paul McCartney is 1st.) Fav. MD songs today are Diadems, In My DArkest Hour, Hook In Mouth, Captive Honour, and Wanderlust.

[Guirick]

Linkin Park and Submersed: Their lyrics describe me to the point of being eerie... "Crawling" and "Breaking the Habit"(LP) and "You Run" and "Hollow"(Submersed)

[Elrith]

Ah, yes... Linkin Park is good too... funny. "Breaking the Habit" reminds me of one of my rps... and so do a few other songs... bah. I'm a freak. X.X

[Bombscare]

i think its gotta be:

System of a Down- B.Y.O.B
or
Metallica-Enter Sandman
or
Foo Fighter- All of there stuff, cant fault any of it

[Direwolf]

All time favorite band is Grateful Dead. Memorable songs..St Stephen, The Eleven, Wharf Rat, Estimated Prophet, Scarlet Begonias, Dire Wolf ;)

The first band I ever really rocked out to was the Beatles and they are still one of my favorites. Memorable songs...She Said, Across the Universe, While my Guitar Gently Weeps, Cry Baby Cry, Me and My Monkey, Dear Prudence, Happiness is a Warm Gun, I am the Walrus....etc.

Ahhh! These songs bring back warm blurry feelings from the good old days! :o

[Tregembo]

1)Pixes cuase there awsome. Favorite song is Havilena.

2)The Decemberists there cool to. Favorite song is a mariners revenge

[Korhil]

well, I guess I stand out of this forum, at least in terms of music taste. But each to his own (as long as no one goes on yelling that linkin park is a real metal band or features a good guitarist ^^)

two favourite bands. . . thats a toughie. . . I guess i will have to go with Cannibal Corpse and Dreamtheater. Cannibal Corpse because it is just the most evil, most poweful and (apart from a few others) the most meaningful band when it comes to lyrics.

Dreamtheater because it is THE band. . . and thats no understatement. It is the most progressive and definetley the most virtuous band around! John Petrucci is not human, ive been playing guitar for 8 years and i still cant play his soli! everyone of you who ever listened to dreamtheater will have to admit, that they are incredible. (and if you have never heard from them, get songs like "Octavarium" "A change of season" or "Metropolis prt I)

[Drizzofein]

1)Godsmack- Awake, Sick of Life, I stand alone, Voodoo, Serenity, Speak, and Whatever

2)Disturbed- Down w/ the sickness (duh), stricken, Liberate, and I'm ALive

3)Alien Ant Farm- Smooth Criminal, Courage, Forgive and Forgette, Movies, and all the others

4)Pantera- dont know the name of one of them but think the other is called This love or something

5)Tobey Kieth- all of them, TK ROX

6)Metallica- the older songs

7)ZZ Top- La Grange, Just got Paid, Cheap sunglasses, and sharp dressed men

8)CCR- Susie Q, I'll put a spell on you, grape vine, born on the Bayuo

9)Leanord Synerd (cant spell it)- alot of the songs

10) Queen- We Will Rock You/ we are the champions, Another one bites the dust, Fat Bottom Girls, and a bunch of others

[Maszaroc]

Top 5, I can't do 2.

1: Disturbed, My brother started listening to it and I heard and just loved it, HARD ROCK all the way.

2. System Of a Down, Same thing, and they OWN

3.Avenged Sevenfold, Same thing, incredible guitar and awesome lyrics.

4.Ozzy, I started listening when I was really young and have loved it ever since, luckily I never fell in to Rap, so i kept listening to Ozzy.

5.Metallica, same as Ozzy.

Other good bands: Megadeth, Blue Oyster Cult, Tenacious D,Gorrilaz, Nickleback.

Fav Songs: Just Stop, City of Evil, Bat Country, Prayer, Intoxication, War, Mistress, Rise, Pain Redefined, Chic N Stu, Chop Suey, BYOB, Ego Brain, Voices, Crazy Train, Bark at the Moon, War and Peace, Master of Puppets, Enter Sandman, Symphony of Destruction, Godzilla, City Hall, Tribute, Stricken, Next Contestant, Side of a Bullet, Fell Good Inc, Dare, Dirty Harry.

[Iteren10]

1: Anti-flag, they hate George Bush, and "Antithetic to the Cure"

[Earendur-Eluch]

Ahh lets see fav bands

1. Metallica
2. Kid Rock
3. AC DC
4. Aerosmith
5. Blink 182
6. Lynyrd Skynyrd
7. Disturbed
8. Godsmack
9. Drowning Pool
10. Jet

The reason I like Metallica is because their music rocks and their guitars sound awesome.

The reason for Kid Rock (The band is Twisted Brown Truck) is because he/they do a wide range of genres from rock to country and everything in between.

Fav song by Metallica is hard but I would have to say Master of Puppets :P

Kid Rock would be even harder but I would say maybe Only God Knows Why or Lonely Road of Faith are some decent ones I like a lot of songs by him though :P

[Simarilius]

Well, I considered going the way a lot of these slack-jawed, non-listening yokels went and just name every band I could in a vain attempt to look like some pretentious know-it-all music guru but instead I'm going to list my TWO favorite bands, why I like them, and some of my favorite tunes from said artists.

1. The Beatles: Forget that Lennon and McCartney are possibly two of the greatest songwriters in history. Forget that because of the Beatles, we have The Who, The Animals, The Rolling Stones, and The Kinks. And PLEASE, PLEASE forget that because of dummy Paul McCartney, Michael Jackson owns more rights to Beatles music than the actual Beatles. (I was always a Lennon fan anyway). The reason I love this band so much is because of my father. I remember many days between the ages of 4-12 where the family would sit around the living room while Dad spun records on the record player. All classic rock on vinyl. I remember the biggest smiles being on his face when the Beatles were playing.....I guess that always stuck with me.

Faves: Here, There, and Everywhere, I'm Only Sleeping, Hey Jude, Helter Skelter, Rocky Raccoon, The Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill, Hide Your Love Away, Ticket to Ride, Across the Universe, I've Got a Feeling, Two of Us, Let It Be, I Saw Her Standing There, A Day In The Life, In My Life


2. Guns N Roses: Slash is a god amongst men. The 'Slow Hand' of Metal. While you can argue that Axl's voice can be somewhat of a hindrance to the band at sometimes, he MORE than made up for it in his songwriting. These guys stole rock back from those sissy lipstick wearing hair bands. Most people read stories about the rock and roll life; the drinking, the drugging, the fighting, the near death experiences and riots and full fledged anarchism; these guys LIVED it.

Faves: November Rain, It's So Easy, Patience, Rocket Queen, Welcome to the Jungle, Knockin' On Heaven's Door, Estranged, Get In The Ring, Dust N Bones, Sweet Child 'O Mine, Mr. Brownstone, Used To Love Her

[SirCrush]

I'm sure I've posted here before and probly the same bands but lets give this another go since Sim resurrected the thread.

1) Flaw (Chris Volz is a God)

Never before have I listened to a metal band with such heartfelt lyrics and beyond that, Volz sings them with utter passion. THeir first album included 90% positive message (I know sounds wack but the style, people) and fluid Hard/Soft transitions. Again, his voice is filled with such emotion that you can't help but FEEL what he is saying. Lyrics are poetry in motion. THeir second album was more of the same but a bit softer in general. Still, they touch on wordly topics and such things as coming up short. It's Volz voice that does it for me though. In "Not Enough" the desperation makes your heart just melt. Sadly, Volz has gone onto a new band called Five.Bolt.Main and Flaw is no more. Commercial radio sucks.

Fav Songs: WORLD'S DIVIDE, Recognize, Amendment, My Letter, Decide, Medicate, Only The Strong, Payback, Reliance, etc. etc. etc. lol

2) Linkin park...More specifically MIKE SHINODA

I have a newfound respect for Mike Shinoda. I can no longer call Linkin Park one of ym favorite bands becuase I now hear where Mike's genius plays in. His lyrics are also GREAT poetry. Though he doesn't have the benefit of SINGING, instead he raps, he still manages to get soem emotion acroass with his words alone. In Fort Minor, again he floors me. His messages are delivered in such a way that amke you go "daaaaaaarnnnnn" (Cigarettes, Back Home). Niot to mention in my opinion one ofthe BEST aRap Songs EVER written "Right Now" which is simply a man taking a look at the world around him while making a gtreat change in his own life. You've all been there.

Fav Songs: Right Now, Cigarettes, In The End, Carousel (best Linkin Park song NOBODY'S heard), Easier To Run, Don't Stay, With You

[Ring0]
