What's your Favorite Band?

[Fisherson]

Let's stop hiding it and just rename this the "what's your favourite band" thread

I agree. that'd be fine with me. Thanks everyone this realy helped alot. By the way, had a listin to Mastadon, and it's now on my favorite bands of all time.

[Dragonium]

Opeth, Agalloch, Mastodon, Evergrey, Bloodbath, Gojira, Iced Earth. To name but a few.

[Dominicy]

Nightwish, Rammstein, and Apocalyptica come to mind. Within Temptation is pretty good, too.  I've been listening to a bit of Slayer from time to time, now.  They're good, but would be better if the lead singer would stop wailing like he's been shot for any more than five minutes.

[Desimodontidae]

Do solo artists count? Cause if so, best ever = Jason Becker.

Bandwise, let's see...

(NPO) Dream Theater, Metallica, Slayer, Pantera, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Ozzy, Black Sabbath, Dio, Cacophony, The Doors

Some weird one (for me): Blümchen, Flobots (well pretty much just that one song.... YOU KNOW), Squeeze, Hall and Oats, Fred Astaire

Just a short list,,, mostly what I've been listening too recently.

[Phayre]

Mucc, Abingdon Boys School, Nightwish.
And HIGH and MIGHTY COLOR.

[HobomasterXXX]

Opeth, Rammstein, System of a Down, Mastodon and Tool to name a few.

[Archem]

They're good, but would be better if the lead singer would stop wailing like he's been shot for any more than five minutes.

That never bothered me. What irks me is that all the songs I've heard by them have a part where they just throw music out the window and welcome loud, fast, violent noise into the track. To be fair, I don't listen to them very much, but I've heard enough where I don't think it's just coincidence.

[Hell Angel]

Mars-fuckin-Volta anyone?

[Red Fox]

Funker Vogt, Flogging Molly.

[Drace]

[Moosetroop11]

I'm one of these rare people who hates downloading music. I just don't. If I want something I buy the CD.

As for my favourite band, it's radiohead. Other bands I love at the moment are Rolo Tomassi, Metallica, and Opeth.

[Desimodontidae]

Mars-fuckin-Volta anyone?

Yeah, they're awesome! I heard Televators way back in the day and fell in love.
