[RanDom_ErrOr]

Heres a question, whos your favorite band, any why?

im just wondering what people listen to on the forum

[Bilbo Baggins]

Please search, this was done very recently.

[squell]

my favorite ARTIST is Aphex Twin, his music is absolutely BEAUTIFUL. plus he's COOL, and rad, and his music videos are AWESOME. :)

[QHOBBES]

Green Day, they may be biggest sell-out pop-punk band in the world, I
still like them (Stink-182's masterbation and i fucked your mom stuff
is just old and boaring) and have been since Kerplunk!

[jyvasaa]

i don't have a favourite band. i listen to stuff like national anthems. i want some classical music.

[SNYder]

My favorite bands/artists are (in no particular order)...

Nickel Creek
Björk
Dixie Chicks
Outkast
Fiona Apple

System of a Down
Sheryl Crow
Linkin Park
Yes

[Rocky Raccoon]

check my avatar :D

Do I need a reason? everything has been said about them :cool:

[Namelessv1]

System of a Down:

They're pretty damn original and they kick ass! :winamp:

[TheOrgasmicMe]

Flogging Molly! why? original, celtic punk, thats the best i can decribe it

[chiquita chad]

incubus. they're different in a good way

[Jon Deaux]

Whatever band Hope Sandoval is in now.
Because I like watchin her try to keep from passin out onstage.

[n_ick2000]

At the moment, it's probably Forest Of Shadows. If you haven't heard them yet (which you probably haven't), then you should. Kind of a mild Gothic Rock band (I think).

[schweitn]

Dave Mathews Band... hands down favorite. Do I really need a reason?

[J. Burnaway]

The White Stripes - so many great songs.

[Trillinon]

Recently, It's Dream Theater that's sucked me in. To the point that I bought thier album and effectively doubled my legal cd collection.

Though Trans-Siberian Orchestra is just a few feet behind in terms of quality.

-Archmage Trillinon Vilotus-

[rabidgoht]

favorite band? it would most definetly be Type O Negative Why? i like there music style... it fits my moods... but if i were to pick a second... id say Green Day.. Why? cause i grew up listening to nuthin but Punk and Surfer Bands..

[Some1]

Right now I'm listening to a lot of Emo, so my current favorite bands are Thursday, At the Drive-In, and Boy Hits Car.

Though I must say that my favorite band of all time is Nirvana, if only for the influence that they had on music...

[Bizznatch]

Green Day

if it wasnt for them, i'd still be listening to rap and hip hop :igor:

[Oni-Dracula]

incubus

[binary hero]

deftones

their music is beautiful.

[Aero Zeppelin]

Oh no not again. :p

Aerosmith because I like the hard rock style, I like Steven Tyler's singing style which is thick and has lots of unique characteristcs to it. I like the lyrics a lot of the time, they are never about negative things. Take for example, Livin' On The Edge "you can't stop yourself from falling". That means that if you are so daring and you are doing stuff on the spur of the moment, you never know when you might fail. I like the band's attitude. Steven I have heard is a very nice guy and the other guys seem nice. They have been around forever not because of the money but because they are all friends. At least that's what I've heard.

btw, anyone know why my sig says just the links? i checked my sig field in the profile editing, but it still is the same as before. with the [img] things

[c0nstr1ct]

hard choice, I have no real one favorite band at this time, but I'll just pick one.

Morbid Angel.

they have a lot of groove for any metal band, and a lot of fast grind with guitar solos.

trey is a metal guitar god. erik has some kick ass solos. They both have a distinct soloing style. pete has some of the fastest drumming in metal. vocals are brootal yet lyrics are still audible if you understand metal.

I agree. Brandon Boyd has a amazing voice whether he's singing or screaming; every album is different and overflowing with emotions; and the lyrics are so beautiful and meaningful.

[Lil Ole_Meh]

I dont have a fav band..I LOVE all music..well almost all/rap and heavy metal are not high on my list.butI have been knownto listen to some.Anyways as I said I like most all music..even other langauges,such as Japanese,Spanish.

My favorite Solo artist I adore is SELENA QUINTANILLA PEREZ:For those who are not familiar with her ,she was a meican/american born in Corpus Cristy Texas,VERY popular singer,in many lands.She was working on an English crossover when her life was taken at age 23 by her fanclub president/who was btw was female and 35 at the time.She shot her/hitting a main artery/vein in her shoulder causing the Tehano singer to bleed to death.Ok I wont go on there is a site if you would like to find more out about her at:http://q-productions.com/ .

I sing myself and am VERY versatile...so I do all different types of music.I even sing in Spanish,and of course many of my songs are from Selena.My fav is COMO LA FLOR:means Like a flower:D ok im done blabbing on..Oh one more :I LOVE CelineDion.ok thats it.

ok so I lied heres one more peice of info:There was a movie made about Selena and Jennifer Lopez played her/did a DAMN good job of it if I may say so myself.(That was just put for those who may have not known about the movie)

Night all:rolleyes::weird:

[zootm]

CAKE = Rock And Roll
http://rocktoons.com/cake/index.html

I have every one of their albums and I never get tired of them. They're just so original.

[lemon_chicken]

regurgitator
- best messages in the songs, and fking awesome tunes - they've done hardcore, to 80's pop, to hip hop

cake
- they have their own genre, and it rocks

gomez
- clever with a capital 'booyeah'

[c2R]

I find that a very difficult question to answer - probably the 70s and 80s rock and punk genre... bands such as the Femmes, CVB, the Clash, Lou Reed, Leonard Cohen, Iggy Pop/The Stooges, The Jam, and R.E.M. are all fantastic.

I also rate 60s rock music very highly, with groups like the Stones, the Kinks, and the Who - their songs are absolute classics that have easily stood the test of time.

There's a bit of music quite recently that I'd also rate as excellent - Green Day for one, as well as Nickel Back, and Ben Folds actually - his breed of piano-based rock exceptionally appealing.

[Lain]

The pillows, because they sound good. :)

[ujay]

The Incredible String Band

Forty years of the very best in original, poetic and thought provoking music.

Given shape to my life like no other band.

Really, my favorite bands are:
Disturbed
Aerosmith
Lynard Skynard
ACDC

[Raz]

Red Hot Chilli Peppers
Nirvana

Because chili peppers do a seriously amazing live show. Nirvana ditto. I just love the songs in general. Chili peppers styles vary and give out lots of interesting original results. I just love listening to both.

Everything from Elvis to Elvis Costello, The Soggy Bottom Boys (O' Brother where art thou?) to Linkin Park, The Beatles to Hendrix, All things with guitar play or sweet licks on anything.
Steve Miller, Alice in Chains, Incubus, System of a Down, Rage.
I don't have a favorite for a reason--that way I don't get stuck on anybody and follow them into a self-dug hole.
Weezer, Green Day, Nirvana, Sly and the Family Stone, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Primus, etc. I could go on all day.
But I won't.
Blues Traveler, Dave Mathews Band, Queens of The Stone Age, The Eagles, Beethovan, Mozart, Billy Joel, Creedance Clearwater Revival, 311........

[MetallichicA]

BELA FLECK! Love 'em!


Anyway... depends on the mood I'm in. http://www.bexgd.com/playlist.html

Fav bands LATELY: In Flames, Type O Negative, Edenbridge, Nightwish, Blind Guardian, The Gathering... I've been in a pretty gothic mood I guess.

Oh, and ABBA for some reason lately... lol

But really, if you take a look at my playlist, you can tell my favorite bands because I have more than 20 of their songs :D

Holy mackerel, you could just about use that playlist to check bandwidth. There's about 500 songs missing from it I think, since I haven't separated them out from my downloads folder yet.

[Bizznatch]

Green Day

Because if it wasnt for them, i'd still be listening to rap :p

But seriously, Green Day has inspired a good generation of great artists/bands. And they were a good part of the rock revolution of the mid 90s which made alternative rock what it is today.

[Lain]

My top Faves -

The Pillows
Harvey Danger
Plastic Tree
Wyolica
Interpol
Ben Folds

[il cornuto]

Nine Inch Nails, because they make me feel a variety of emotions, have integrety(sp?) and sound unique. But I like anyone (within the industrial/metal/rock/(post) hardcore world) who makes me feel a variety of emotions.

[Raz]

Green day, NOFX, The Offspring, All those early 90s punk bands are still good for a listen. I'm not going to forget Led Zeppelin or hendrix though. I agree with fickle.

You can like what you like. Musical tastes may differ but nothing compares to seeing who you like live. That every music fan has in common (except maybe people who don't like bands/musicians that are still alive ;))

Queens of the Stone Age - unique sound, fun to listen to
Chevelle - "Wonder What's Next" is filled will good songs from top to bottom
RATM - angry radical-motivated music

[Tarron_D]

My favorite bands rotate. I've got a lot of bands i like, but only 2 or 3 i listen to at any one time. For the last 2 weeks its been Tool, NIN and Radiohead. Actually its been NIN and Radiohead for the past 4 to 6 months, and Tool in the last 2 weeks. And i pop in a random cd from any band whenever i feel like it. But its mainly been NIN and Radiohead.
If i had to choose a favorite band, it would be NIN, but Radiohead really isn't any lesser on my scale. I choose NIN because its extremely emotional music, and Trent Reznor is a musical god. I hope to play the instruments im learning as well as him. (He is my main musical inspiration.) Just a fucking amazing band. I lub NIN. :D
