Instead of having like 1346134 different posts about who likes what band, how about we just all come together and talk about ALL of our favorite bands? Wouldn't that be much more grand than having all those annoying posts about what bands you like?

Well anyway, I'll put some of mine (I have waaay too many): Guster, OAR, Metallica, Korn, Tool, Hoobastank, Rob Zombie (or White Zombie), Drowning Pool (even though they make no more music :-( ) Cake, Bush, Goo Goo Dolls, Hooty & the Blowfish, Pearl Jam, Staind, Dope, AC/DC, Nirvana, Incubus, Saliva, Beatles, Coheed & Cambria, Flogging Molly, Led Zepplin, System of a Down, Alice in Chains, The Eagles, Godsmack, The Cult, Nickelback (well..some), Disturbed, POD, Dave Matthews, John Mayer, Subway to Sally, Soundgarden, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Butthole Surfurs, Dick Dale, Marcy Playground, Third Eye Blind, Matchbox 20, Radiohead, Falling Cycle, Rammstein, Stratovarius, Counting Crows, Ozzy, Black Sabbath, Depswa, Paloalto, Kitty, Jimmy Eat World, Foo Fighters, Creed, Sprung Monkey, Mudvayne, Thrice, the Blur, Smoking Popes, Sublime, Tesla, Goldfinger, the White Stripes, A Perfect Circle, and actually quite a few others.. be sure to pick some out of there that you like ;-) (or, add your own! I don't care!!)

Hey, I like this sherpa guy.
Okay here are some of the albums that I've enjoyed listening to recently:
A perfect circle, 13th step
Linkin Park, Meteora
Atmosphere, Overcast
Nickelback, the long road
Audioslave, selftitled
Coldplay, A rush of Blood to the head
Red Hot Chili Peppers, (whats the new album called?)
Abandoned Pools, Humanistic
Jurassic 5, Power in Numbers
Disturbed, Believe
White Stripes, Elephant
Tool, Lateralus

Theres prolly more, but thats all for now.

a question:
-what is this hate of the "modern rock genre"; besides the fact that it's a stupid name for a genre, that the people that are in it are "conformists", and that they talk about their feelings.
~Conformists are all throughout the music scene, and in all genres people always hop on when something seems like it's going to take off. And even then some of the best music comes from these bands. Very few bands are actually non-conformists when you come down to it. (conforming to the alternative/hot topic lifestyle is conforming all the same)
~with any true artist what they sing about comes from experience or what they feel: Nirvana, Disturbed.
Anyway sorry to make this an actual thinking thread i tend to do that sometimes...

hey only the new cd from them, go listen to it, its got a some good songs :)

ya know what iggidy, u shouldnt judge some1 by what they listen to, i personally HATE BEYOND ALL BELEIF jurassic 5, but i don't think you're a bad person

CDs I've been listening to lately:

Coldplay :: A Rush of Blood to the Head
Jars of Clay :: Who We Are Instead
Michelle Branch :: Hotel Paper
Avalon :: The Best of Avalon
Sarah McLachlan :: Afterglow
then misc. of a lot of a few other bands

A bit different from what you guys are talking about to be sure, but everyone has their taste I guess.

Sorry, doggy. I didnt mean to offend anyone, got carried away i was just kidding, so dont take it personally theft.

none taken, i forgive you

how can you not like AFI!!!!! OMGGGGGGGG

o well yea you got a little hyper......but yea you really need to like...chill..and also LINKIN PARKS NO PRIZE!!!!!!!! all their songs are about the same thing its so boring

hey ,this is called "favorite bands" not "least favorite bands" so lets not get on a hurtful, arguing topic

sorrydoggy :(

okay...umm..has anyone heard "Hate Every Beutiful Day" such a wonderous song if i do say so myself

ok, even though everyone and their mom already stated their fav bands, i'm gonna go for it anyway:

Metallica, HIM, Floyd, Three Days Grace, Disturbed, Godsmack, Sevendust, Queens of the Stoneage, Audioslave, Incubus, Bob Marley, 311, Tori Amos, Foo Fighters, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Crystal Method, Nirvana, Pete Yorn, STP, Finch...hmm im sure theres more, but i guess id remember them if they were that important

well since this thread's starting to die, i thought we might tack on to what we've already written our all-time favorite band and our all-time favorite song. Mine is...
Band: Nirvana
Song: Bohemian Rhapsody, Queen

Lately into Gypsy Kings, Andre Rieu, and Russian music.. very cool.

Metal and Rock
You guys know Sevendust, Static X, SR-71, Zeromancer (you guys shouldnt know him), Linkin Park, The Prodigy, The Red Hot Chillis, Queen, ACDC, Nirvana, Metallica, Finger Eleven

A nice range in that, They all ROCK!

DUDE ROCK ON!!!!!!

yea queen is an awesome band ...goottta love bohemien rapsity<SP!!!> so does ACDC metallica and nirvana

oh yeah! and a bitta Deep Purple
Smoooooke on the water, A fire in the Sky!

JIMI! GOOO HENDRIX!! I love the American Anthem.. Very cool!

jimi hendrix WAS A PSYCOPATH lol

hahaha, yeah (*psychopath)

well i never said i could spell...i just simply stated that JIMI IS A PSYCHOPATH!!!!

and a much better guitarist is Eddie Van Halen ^..^

uhhh... I'm not sure if you'd want to be saying that.. :-/ lol

why not!!!!!!!


OOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW VAN HALEN FOREVER MAN!!!!!!!!

Your crazy

val halen didn't have as much talent as hendrix (personal opinion of a musician) but anyways...

Band: Pink Floyd
Song: Welcome to the Machine, Comfortably Numb, Wish You Were Here

agreed whozurdoggy - hendrix was a genius. btw - great pics w/ the floyd. ; )

yea i am crazy ? got a problem?

yea and i do agree hendrix was better talent wise...but van halen was better lyrics wise....just my opinion.

Current favorite bands: AC/DC, dreamtheater,AFI
Song: The Time Imperfect,glass prison,evil walks

halen is just a guy with no life and a guitar jimi hendrix was a musical pioneer

just because noone understands you doesnt make you and artist

ummm....alrighty then.....your bad dude....yea....and i bet you can do any better so shut up umk?

cmon people, he already said that hendrix was better talent-wise, but ya, definately agreed that Halen was a better songwriter

why don't you choose someone more 'modern' - I don't know much of either of those two....
What you guys think of Linkin Park?
I think they have the BEST lyrics, mainly because I can relate to ALL of them soooo Well :S But their music is unreal too! Anyone else got anything to say bout LP?

CUZ MODERN MUSIC SUCKS!!!!!!

AND I THINK LINKIN PARK IS REPEDITIVE AND EVERY SONG SOUNDS THE SAME

ahha that may have been harsh...ssorry...but i just dislike linkin park....all of theyre songs are about the same thing....i mean chester beington has mass talent but its all wasted on repeditive lyrics.....they have talent....its sad

OK - just to get back to what we do like, not what we don't, here's a very late entry from an even older man than Synikol ;-). Current listening includes Thea Gilmore, Lucinda Williams, Radiohead, Bonnie "Prince" Billy, Flaming Lips, Grandaddy.... All time favourites (today - I'd come up with a different list tomorrow!) Roy Harper, Leonard Cohen, Pink Floyd (saw them play live half a dozen times, from Echoes through to Momentary Lapse, but preferred the earlier stuff) Led Zep (great live too - Earls Court 1975 was the greatest gig ever). See - there are advantages to being old... Plus all the others I've forgotten. And Bach. And Philip Glass. On a good day.

: O ......I'm jealous. omg....you lucky, lucky man. Damn....I was born in the WRONG generation!!!

im pretty happy, i've seen both incubus and rhcp in concert. but i'm very jealous of my aunt, who saw pink floyd AND iron maidne within the same year!!! grrrrrrrrrr.......

Linkin Park arn't Repeditive, have you even listened to their Songs, Read their Lyrics?!?

yea i used to be a big fan...but its all sounds the same....same beat...same theme

Theme: o boohooo you used me and im never gonna get over it
but sometimes they change it up with
Theme:HAHAH!!!! im my own person again!!!! YIPPIE!!!!!

o and i almost forgot.....GO SIMON AND GARFUNKLE!!!!! I SPELLED THAT WRONG BUT O WELL!!!!

AND WE ALMOST FORGOT BOB DYLAN!!! WHATS WRONG WITH US

My all time favourites are:
Sum 41 (Cone is Cute!)
The Beatles (My camp nickname is Ringo, hence the username)
No Doubt (Gwen Stefani has wicked style)
Coldplay (Chris Martin is cute as well, and their songs are so poetic)
The White Stripes (I love Elephant!)

Some bands I like but I don't know alot of their songs:
All American Rejects
Greenday
Blink 182
The Ramones
Alice Cooper
Blondie (the band, Debbie Harris is just the singer, people!)
Good Charlotte
Radiohead
Sam Roberts
Bare Naked Ladies (not actually Bare Naked Ladies, they have funny songs!)
The Vines
The Strokes
Linkin Park (yes some of their songs sound the same but "crawling" is awesome!)
Boomtang Boys
Dido

I am indeed a teenager. If there's anyone out there who's a hardcore Sum 41 or Beatles fan like me, leave me a message at my profile thingy.

oopsie I forgot Nirvana and Cyndi Lauper

I also forgot the Donnas. If anyone has heard of them leave me a message on my profile thing

i just got the new Dream Theater cd "Train of Thought".....great cd....wonderful band

AC/DC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and Ramones, And Led Zeppelin, and Lynyrd skynard( i only like sweet home alabama, it makes me feel good)

HOYEA!!! you have good tastes me friend

yea i just thought id say LESS THAN JAKE is a greatttt band

Pantera, Slayer, Marduk etc.....

I'd say I really don't have a favorite band. My tastes always change : Example : When I was 12 I listened to pop groups like the Spice Girls and N'Stink ( * opps I mean N'sync), and now my taste in music has progressed from put into Rock music, and then into classical rock. My taste is always changing. I'd have to say that my flavour of the week would be Pilate, a little known band from Toronto, maybe you've seen their music video "Into your Hideout". Well I really like their music, but as the fickle girl that I am, it will probably change next month. :-)

YES! im the same way kinda..only my musical tastes matured earlier(thank God) but yea....im a real metalhead...awwell

What ever happened to Spade Cooley or Lawrence Welk or Guy Lombardo? Sheesh.

HEY! I LOVE Linkin Park- they are the BEST, so THERE!! :-}

I also like 3 Doors Down (I'm listening to them right now!- - why haven't I seen their name??), Creed, Incubus, Godsmack, Micheal W. Smith (his old C.D), Garth Brooks (hey! country can be o.k.- stop laughing!), and Staind, can't think of any more right now...

hey has anyone heard of streetlight manifesto?

No, but I have heard that you like sucky bands, so they prolly suck

i was looking around these music posts and decided to listen to some that y'all "recommended" since i have fairly easy access to get whatever...
Anyway thanks Avi now i've got a fix on Aphex, esp Ptolemy; 151515 you've got some good tastes i listen to each of those fairly regularly.
Sevendust, Incubus, Nirvana, and Depeche Mode are my current faves...

What do you think this thread could die? :D

My Favorite bands Rock: Rolling stones, Rush, Yes, Pink Floyd, Todd Runddgren, romstien, KId rock, Nine inch Nails, Staind, SlipKnot, Korn, Avery, Ministry and Rob Zombie. Jazz and Blues: John Mayhall, Stevie Ray Vaughan a lot, Coltran, B.B. King and Roy E. Gallagher, Billy Holiday Sade.
New Age: Michel Manring, Ottmar Leibert, David Aarkenstone, and Peter Katier. Classical All.

What do u guys think of Dire Straits? Gitarist and Singer: Mark Knopfler

Dire Straits was the first album I ever owned... my mother bought it for me, can't remember why. I think I liked the video clip to "Walk of Life". Anyone else remember it?

my dad has every cd of them, and the most cd's of mark knopfler 2....
Walk of Life is a great nummer..
The best nummer of them, and maybe one of my favorits of all numbers, is:
Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms

U have to download/buy/listen the live version from Belfast or a other live version.. there are 5 or something...

By the way, my favorite style of music... hmm I don't think anybody on this whole site like it... but what the f*ck: My Fav. genre is techno/oldskool/hardstyle That's house..

I'm from the netherlands and I'm young... a little 2 young :S
And here in the netherlands are a lot of houseparty's...This genre of music is very famous here with the new generation...

But I love much genres of music...my dad has more as hundreds cd's...I growed up with it... I think I know ever band that was called here at this forum.. and much of them are very great!

I like anything that I am used to...if I'm around something so I recognize--and maybe sing along--with it, then I'll like it. I also like oldies, Barenaked ladies, REM, Blessid Union of Souls, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Smashmouth...my boyfriend doesn't like my choice in music, though... :P

you mean like money for nothing Dire Straits.

nice 2.

I'd have to say Im a total 80's band lover. I love the old 80's rock, the big hair, and everything else that goes along with it. I Actually just went to see Skid Row this weekend. It would have been better if Sebastian was the singer still, but it was still a good time. Just my two cents.

in alphabetical order - 12 stones - alien ant farm - anastacia - aqualung - avril lavigne - billy joel - blink 182 - chevelle - chris rea - coldplay - creed - david gray - disturbed - eminem - enya - evanescence - filter - garth brooks - kevin bloody wilson (adults ONLY) - limp bizkit - LINKIN PARK - lo-pro - meat loaf - michael jackson (inocent) - papa roach - pink - pod - puddle of mudd - queen - revis - saliva - STAIND - system of a down - tenacious d - the darkness - travis - these are just a quike and very rough guide to my taste - i like everything except teeny boppers eg spice girls<<<<DEATH - anyway just like a special mention for one of my favourate songs || Steve Earle - Copperhead Road || - there ae many many others but these are the only ones i can think of just now.

One more... Boysetsfire

i don't think this board can support the list of my favorites.. my music tastes are too diverse to simply say a few.. anywhere from sinatra & the rest of the rat pack, to slipknot and staticx; from dave matthews to john coltrane, tori amos to edith piaf, tito puente to aphex twin.. and my new found passion for bread..
you should see my cd collection.. 350+

I agree With you wonderful, I think If I listed all my bands noone would want to talk to me any more, However I did jsut see Godsmack and Metallica in concert. Front row. It was AWESOME!!

another nice one (but all you guys are so... constrained to one genre!)

So, I started from the top and read the whole long forum. To add my oppinion, there was far too little talk of Dave Matthews Band and Tenacious D (only one mention!). DMB's newest 3 albums pretty much suck, but their earlier albums, Before These Crowed Streets, Under the Table and Dreaming and Crash are just awsome. So much talent and soul and emotion, it's just unbelievable. And Tim Reynolds (a frequent guest guitarist) is ridiculously talented. Tenacious D on the other hand is just hysterical, and surprisingly talented.The music is pretty good, you can't help but sing along and if you can make it through the album without laughing you have a very odd sence of humor. With songs like With Karate I'll Kick Your Ass, Fu** Her Gently and City Hall, they are just a riot.

LINKIN PARK SUCKS!!!!!!

short list: INDIGO GIRLS, van halen, van morrison, america, loving the ALLISON KRAUSS, but really i listen to just about everything

hey otaku! I didnt know you were even still on this site! But i do agree with your last statement. All there songs are EXACTLY the same, and i dont see how anybody can find art in that!!! The most talented, creative, skilled band i have know is RUSH!

gooo Rush! (but I still like Linkin Park too...)

Only 10 RHCP!!! OMG they are the best today (it will be someone else tommorow)

The Strokes? Their new one is good

OK! I saw this Favorite Bands thread and now I have to post what I like!
My favorite bands are:
Metallica
AC/DC
Pink Floyd
Van Halen
Linkin Park
Evenescence
The Offspring
System Of a down
Guns and Roses
Ramstein(Du Hast and Tier hehehe, I have a German Fiance but he doesn't like them :-(
Nickelback
Bon Jovi
Puddle of Mudd
SSQ
Rob Zombie

Hm, well that's all the Bands I can think of right now.

Metallica, Van Halen, GUns n Roses, Rammstein, Ac/Dc, Aerosmith, Lynyrd Skynyrd, George Thorogood(sp?), Def Leppard, Led Zeppelin, Motley Crue, Pink Floyd, Pantera, Rolling Stones, Chuck Berry, Bob Seger, Ozzy w/ Randy Rhodes, Sammy Hagar, Boston, Frank Sinatra, Bobby Darin, Dean Martin, a little bit of Jimi Hendrix, Creedence Clear Water Revival, Scorpions, Kiss. the list goes on but those are my main artists/bands i listen too.

I've been lately getting into classical with all the best composers, such as: Mozart, Bach, Beethoven, Strauss, Wagner, Tchaikovsky, Vivaldi, Chopin, Schubert, Verdi..

I also like a guy named Andre Rieu, but he does things a little differently than the ones above :-)

Prokofiev!

those aren't bands, they're composers. sorry

hey, I started this thread, so I'll put what I want :-p

and by the way, most composers (if they want to make MUSIC) have an orchestra.

lol

Otaku is cold

Cold and in the dark.

Goldfrapp, Scissor Sisters and Franz Ferdinand are the bands du jour for me.

Does anyone listen to the solo works of Tim Reynolds?

BLACK SABBATH

http://www.ganjataz.co.uk/Forum/images/smiles/faithless-rule_banner.gif

Says it all for me. (:

I LOVE Nirvava and linkin park!!!!

lol, Classics.

Rush, the Cure, Indigo Girls, Rusted Root, Yes, Killing Joke, Bjork, They Might Be Giants, Dream Theater, Eels, XTC, Primus, Wilco, Violent Femmes, Beatles, the Cult, RATM...just to name a few.

I have a few ..a few that the Jaeden Beast liked too.

Dream Theater
Kansas
Queensryche
Styx
Steely Dan
Pink Floyd
The Beatles
Metallica (mainly just Nothing Else Matters and Fade to Black ...Life it seems to fade away drifting father everyday haha)
Rush
Yes
and a side project by Dream Theater's drummer Mike Portnoy: Liquid Tension Exp.
oh yeah and Led Zeppelin
JOhn Bonham rocked ...

How about favorite composers? We all have too many favorite bands to write, but composers are more sparse. Debussy is pretty cool, very mellow. I think Howard Shore did a great job with those Lord of the Rings movies, but nothing I would buy an album to. My all time favorite is Danny Elfman, anyone ever heard of him??? (Edward Scissorhands, Spiderman 1 & 2, the Hulk, Dick Tracy, Batman, the list goes on...)

Danny Elfman is real good, he seems to do about half of the movie scores that come out of Hollywood. You forgot to mention he also did "The Simpson's Theme". He started in the band "Oingo Boingo" and he married Bridget Fonda last year.
