My favorite bands/artists are: of Montreal, Sunset Rubdown, Interpol, Arcade Fire, Matt and Kim, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Death Cab for Cutie, Pixies, Muse, Reverie Sound Revue, The Cure, Devotchka, Broken Social Scene, Ladytron, and more of Montreal.

I'm a big fan of The Jam, as well as Paul Weller's solo stuff. Plus a bit of Crowded House, Neil Young, Portishead, Pulp and The Beautiful South thrown in for good measure.

[vollspacken]

I don't agree... I think the best MC right now is Vast Aire from Cannibal Ox (Def Jux) :)

Jeru used to be the man, but his albums just don't kick anymore :(

MF Doom rules the mic too :D

[buryyourbrideau]

i guess no one on here likes hardcore :confused: ......my top 5 in this genre as of right now

all shall perish
love is red
misery signals
7 angels 7 plagues

now all time top 5 fav HC artists

.HOPESFALL.
terror
with honor
hatebreed
comeback kid

[lavar78]

Crowded House, Marvin Gaye, and Stevie Wonder are at the top of the list.

[wrldwzrd89]

I think the chances are high that you've never heard of my favorite artists:

Karsten Koch
B.E.A.S.T
Scirocco
Skaven
Purple Motion

These artists release their music in module format. I'd say compared to MP3, modules are oddballs. Unlike MP3, there's a huge variety of formats that fall under the module category. The four most common are MOD, S3M, XM and IT. If you want to download modules, click here (http://www.modarchive.com/). If you need a player, try this one (http://ximplemod.sourceforge.net/) or this one (http://cocomod.stalkingwolf.net/).

All I can listen to at the moment is the Jedi Mind Tricks but thanks to a pretty diverse collection on the iPod this is always changing. In fact, just as I'm typing this I'm reminded that I just went for a run to The RZA's Fatal from Blade III, a seriously inspiring song for anyone trying to get fit. ;)

Rush! :D

I LOVE RUSH; they never get any respect when they have clearly been one of the most experimental and best bands ever.

Well here goes a quick list:
AC/DC, Aerosmith, The Beatles, Black Sabbath, Bob Marley, The Cure, The Darkness, Guns N' Roses, Iron Maiden, Jet, Jimmy Buffett, Jimmy Hendrix, Judas Priest, Led Zeppelin, Marilyn Manson, Mötley Crüe, Ozzy, Queen, Rush, Velvet Revolver, White/Rob Zombie, ZZ Top, and a whole bunch of other great music from classical to other 70–80's (all coming from a 16 year old)

Did you see them in Virginia Beach last summer? Great show.

[Duff-Man]

Duff-Man says....I really really respect the musicianship of the guys in Rush - they really play well off each other, obviously from so many years together....but as soon as Geddy Lee opens his gob and tries to sing I have to turn it off. It is not so bad when he stays in the lower registers but when he gets into those higher notes it is painful to listen to....but damn, they do a great live show...oh yeah!

I have the Flotsam and Jetsam disc with Jason Newsted. That's the only one I have and I haven't listened to it in a while. I'm gonna rip it right now and give it another listen.

I've always been a Megadeth fan. The only album of there's that I'm not really into is 'Killing is my business..." I've heard a little bit of Opeth, but not a whole lot. I haven't heard any of the others you mentioned, except for Joe Satriani, but I haven't heard much of his stuff.

And yeah, prog kicks ass. I got into it first with Pink Floyd, then Dream Theater introduced me to the prog-metal thing. Then, I got into bands like Kansas, Yes, Genesis, Spock's Beard, etc.

EDIT: I ripped that Flotsam and Jetsam album, "Doomsday for the Deceiver" and it's just not my thing. Now I know why I hadn't listened to it in a long time.

Is their newer stuff any better??

For Halloween many years back, three friends and I rented tails and made our own eyeball heads, dressing up like the Residents for a party. I have a pic somewhere of us in a mall, where we ran into a guy dressed as Gene Simmons. Talk about musical diversity. :rolleyes:

What about Henry Cow, Slappp Happy, Throbbing Gristle, Magma, Zamla Mammas Mama, Daevid Allen's Gong?

The only F&J disk I've ever heard is Drift. It is sans Newsted. I had heard less than complimentary things about the band, then was in a record shop one day and they were playing Drift. Stayed in the store long enough to hear the whole thing, then bought their store copy because they didn't have one in stock. It is a great CD, the track Smoked Out alone is worth the price of admission.

LOVE Weller. Also:

Marilyn Manson (you MUST see him/them live)


Three times, twice on the last tour. When they deployed their inflatable Mickey Manson head... Truly one of the most entertaining bands I've ever seen. He has amazing presence on stage. Some people might say it's like a train wreck, you just can't NOT look! :eek: :p

[nbs2]

I'm noticing that most people seems to have developed their favorite band appreciation about 10 years ago, at the latest :). Based on my listening habits (thank you iTunes), my favorites:
Los Lonley Boys, RHCP, Sublime, and The Beach Boys.

That's cool. I'll have to check it out. The 'Doomsday For The Deceiever" album reminded me too much of early Megadeth and even Slayer. Honestly, the only "thrash" that I like from that period that I've heard is Metallica.

I'm noticing that most people seems to have developed their favorite band appreciation about 10 years ago, at the latest :).Since the average age on these forums are just over 30, it shouldn't be a big surprise that many users taste developed during the late '70s trough to the late '80s... ;)

Yeah, early Metallica is great. After the Black album (which was great in an altogether different way), those guys went straight downhill, IMHO.
I'm not much on thrash, generally. I must be too old for that stuff. Can't keep up.

I'm a huge fan of all Metallica, really. I like the Loads a lot. They are just VERY different. St. Anger is even more different, but is good in it's own way. (In my opinion, of course)

My favorite BY FAR is Master Of Puppets, though.

Everything through Justice is stellar. My personal favorite is Ride the Lightning, though. Love the track Fade to Black. Have you ever heard that one? :rolleyes: :p

I loved the Mickey Manson! That was truly creepy. I also went to the Against all Gods show in the fall. That was cool too, but I think I liked Grotesk Burlesque better. :)

[FadeToBlack]

Everything through Justice is stellar. My personal favorite is Ride the Lightning, though. Love the track Fade to Black. Have you ever heard that one? :rolleyes: :p

Actually, I need to go check that one out right now! :D

[rockthecasbah]

Im a mixed guy, i have a lot of different styles including indie pop, alternative, folk rock, funk, jazz, and yes, even rap (only MC Lars of course) that are all in a list of my favorites, but my top have to be the following in no particular order:
- The (International) Noise Conspiracy

- Miles Davis
- The Decemberists
- Parliament
- The Shins
- MC Lars
- Thursday
- Death Cab For Cutie
- The Rolling Stones
- Marlon Simon and the Nagual Spirits
- The String Cheese Incident

This is all coming from a fellow still in High School ;)

[rockthecasbah]

I <3 The Used!
I don't. Emo is such a tired genre, especially the newest breed of emo where the singers actually can't sing!!!! ( the used, my chemical romance, etc) :p

[killuminati]

Tupac
The Notorious B.I.G.

Are my two most favourite (yea yea bad english shudup) but I have tons of others that are almost as good.

[jalagl]

RADIOHEAD (ok, this one was in a particular order ... best band ever!! :D)
The Smiths (close second ;) )
Massive Attack
Hooverphonic
Soda Stereo
Morcheeba
The Pixies
Garbage
Metallica

Lately I've been hooked on:
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
The Killers
The Strokes
Splashdown
Poe
Placebo

[nightdweller25]

I don't. Emo is such a tired genre, especially the newest breed of emo where the singers actually can't sing!!!! ( the used, my chemical romance, etc) :p

Past the fast paced heavy guitars and drums, there lies really deep and profound lyrics, like Helena, which is about his girlfriend that committed suicide.

[rockthecasbah]

Past the fast paced heavy guitars and drums, there lies really deep and profound lyrics, like Helena, which is about his girlfriend that committed suicide.
I'm not saying that there isn't meaning to the songs, im just saying their outlet for that passion is very generic, and it is a turnoff to have a lead singer with a lousy voice. I used to be an Emo kid, just lately there has been such a rush of the same stuff over and over...I've found a nice comfort in more light-hearted genres lately: funk, indie-pop, even jazz like the great Miles Davis. It might also be that my musical taste has matured more also, since I am still in high school... :rolleyes:

[eva01]

my favorite

Nirvana

[Sirus The Virus]

Some of my favs:
U2
Peter Gabriel
Coldplay
Kreftwerk
The Police
Sting

Steve Vai
Joe Satriani
R.E.M.
Randy Newman
oh...too many to even list

[cloud 9]

These are the artists I really love,

Fiona Apple
Tori Amos
The Cardigans
Xiu Xiu

I love them for the music they make, their artistic expression and the fact that their next cd won't sound as the previous. Altough sometimes difficult to understand and appreciate, but always musically and conceptually challenged. They don't stick with the same marketing target people like borah jones, or sucktallica, that's my opinion.

These are other artists I really like,
Ladytron, Beth Gibbons, Vive la fête, Stina Nordenstam, Kylie, Jill Tracy, Dani Siciliano, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Kylie, Marianne Faithfull, The Pixies, Great Lake Swimmers, Fad Gadget, The Glimmer Twins (aka The Glimmers), Erlend Oye, Tiga, . Allison, Gorillaz, The Adult, Bangkok Impact, Zoot Woman, Radiohead, too many dj's, Plaid, Joy Division, Queen Adreena, Shea Seger, Ani Difranco, Lisa Germano, Björk, The Postal Service, Figurine, Anthony and the Johnsons, Neutral Milk Hotel, ...

And i could go on... :D

Which Pink Floyd era do you prefer?

[BillyBobBongo]

Which Pink Floyd era do you prefer?

I love it all to be honest, every album has something to say (yes even 'The Division Bell')...but I do prefer the 'Roger Waters' era. 'Wish You Were Here' is easily my favourite album. I could listen to that until the cows come home!

You know that since it's their 40th anniversary there's something special coming out? ‘OH BY THE WAY’ will be released at the end of the year with the entire back catalogue and some extras thrown in for good measure! Costs a fair few bits of folding paper though! ;)

You?

The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn is my favourite these days. The first one I bought, at the time it originally came out on vinyl, was Dark Side Of The Moon which I am still fond of. I also like Wish You Were Here a lot. Animals was the last one I bought - I didn't get on with The Wall at all.

God I must be old ...

[FadeToBlack]

My favorite Pink Floyd album changes constantly. One day it'll be "Dark Side," the next it will be "Animals." Just depends on the day.

[maxrobertson]

I really like Ednaswap, Nirvana (and I feel obligated to point out that Nevermind is great, but not really "real" Nirvana), Red Hot Chili Peppers, Noe Venable, Tori Amos, Smashing Pumpkins, Silversun Pickups, and The Offspring. As well as some other artists that are very different from what is normal for me (like Ani DiFranco and Jack Johnson) that I can't listen to unless I'm in the mood.

Laibach
U2 - Everything up to and including POP, I did buy the Complete U2 however
Fred Eaglesmith - Alt Country, Milly's Cafe - an excellent disk start to finish
Bob Dylan - Got the Complete Dylan Collection from iTunes
Johnny Cash - Discovered his music after hearing his Highway Patrolman version
Black Sabbath - Dio years were my favs but I have all the disks up to the last
Godflesh - Unusual band that I got to see live once back in the 90s

Of all the bands above that I got to see live besides Godflesh (who opened for Skinny Puppy) were:

Pink Floyd - 2 times - A Momentary Lapse and Division Bell Tours
Gary Numan - 2 times in the 2000s
U2 - 4 times

[Capt Underpants]

ANDREWBIRD (http://andrewbird.net/) is awsome live.

Saw him at the Gypsy Tea Room (RIP) in march with the Cold War Kids, and again in September at Austin City Limits. He can create such a big sound with his violin/guitar/whistling/random other instruments and a loop pedal. Good music...

[OdduWon]

Listen to some Spock's Beard and Kevin Gilbert. Both are available on iTunes. Kevin Gilbert's best album isn't, but it can be had here. (http://popplusone.com/shaming.html) It's one of the greatest albums ever made, IMO.

I recommend Spock's Beard's "The Light" as a good starting point with them. It was their first album and IMO, it's their best work.

I started out listening to Dream Theater, then heard about Spock's Beard on the DT forums, I believe, then ended up hearing about Kevin Gilbert, who is one of the greatest talents in music ever, IMO. Read up on him and check out "The Shaming Of The True." If you're into prog, I don't think you'll be disappointed.

All awesome bands. Queen are my favorite band BY FAR. I just got heavily into them in December '07 after always loving "Bohemian Rhapsody" and after buying "A Night At The Opera" on iTunes, I was, and still am, HOOKED! :cool:

And yeah, "Octavarium" is the one of my favorite DT albums. Some great stuff on there. I seen them when they were on "Gigantour" with Megadeth and they blew all the other bands, including Megadeth, off the stage. It was amazing. One of the coolest experiences of my life. That was on August 30th, 2005, so they were touring in support of Octavarium.

My favorite album of theirs has gotta be Six Degrees Of Inner Turbulence, though. Amazing stuff. :)

Bohemian Rhapsody is like the number-two requested song on the radio of all time (so I heard anyway). May I ask how you came to like this one so much? I've tried to 'get' the song but it just seems so chaotic, like it doesn't flow or something.. I dunno...

If I had to pick one at this exact moment it'd be Delays, they're fabulous.
Though I'm not usually a fan, the new Colplay album is also quality.

I just dig it. :cool:

I dunno, it's totally my thing. I'm a big fan of progressive rock, with which you see a lot of epic songs with lots of changes in tempo, style, etc. I just love everything about it.

You a Queen fan that doesn't like Bohemian Rhapsody? :eek:

Right now, though, I've been listening to more "Don't Stop Me Now" than "Bohemian Rhapsody."
