Favorite Band/Songs?

[MacAztec]

Ok, I thought I would start another thread for this. What are your top few favorite songs/bands. Post a link to the Apple Music Store (if they are there).

I really like this band Atmosphere. Their lyrics are sweet. Here are my fav. songs by them:

Trying to Find a Balance ( LINK (http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?playlistId=2556560&selectedItemId=2556493) )

Always Coming Back Home To You ( LINK (http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?playlistId=2556560&selectedItemId=2556556) )

[Kwyjibo]

well here go mine Rock/ pop-punk/ screamo

A few from the chicago suburbs, aka where i'm from and also my favorites:

www.luckyboys.com ~ Lucky Boys Confusion, definately a top band in my opinion, they just got dropped from elektra in a large cut, but they are really hopeful for the future.

www.falloutboyrock.com ~ Fall Out Boy, also from near me, seen them live a few times and they are defiantely booming. Cool new acoustic EP and their latest CD.

And non chicago bands

www.Takingbacksunday.com ~ Taking Back Sunday, I heard an advanced copy of their new album Where You Want To Be, very good but not as good as tell All your Friends

And Coheed and Cambria.

[G5orbust]

Godsmack

Korn

Dashboard Confessional (http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?playlistId=2928407&selectedItemId=2928339) is my favorite band as of now, and I really like Avril Lavigne's (http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?playlistId=7574208&selectedItemId=7574183) new album. But beyond that, I'm a Mozart/Jazz/Movie soundtrack fan, so I guess I'm not too much help to the favorite "bands" thread. :rolleyes: :)

I never get tired of the greatest rock and roll band of ALL TIME - the Rolling Stones. Exile on Main St and Sticky Fingers must be in your collection.

Also, Hound Dog Taylor, Lou Reed or Velvet Underground, Black Eyed Peas, Sex Pistols, BB King, and Jet are all in the regular iTunes rotation...

[Oirectine]

Hmm, this is a tough question... A few of my favorite bands/artists at the moment are:


Boards of Canada
Brad Mehldau
Radiohead
Jim Hall
Autechre
Godspeed You! Black Emperor
Chick Corea
Matthew Shipp
Thelonious Monk
Elliott Smith

Time to open up iTunes again.... :p

[MongoTheGeek]

They might be giants.

[MacRy]

The Stone Roses
Beck
Green Day
The Strokes.....

.....too many to mention.

[jbembe]

I'm currently possessed by this new band, Los Lonely Boys, recorded by Willie Nelson at his studio near the Pedernales river (I think?) who also plays on the album. This is the single, but the whole album is awesome:


Heaven (http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?playlistId=5353725&selectedItemId=5353703)

They attribute influences to Santana and Stevie Ray Vaughan if that helps. Onda really bears heavy Santana resemblances. Other than that, check out the Daily Tunes list from my sig... ;)

[Redboy]

If you like Atmosphere, check out Brother Ali (same city, same label, friends). Shadows on the Sun is an amazing LP, and the Champion EP is fantastic.

Califone
Missy Elliott
Brother Ali
The Stones
William Parker
Sonic Youth (Sonic Nurse is in heavy rotation right now)
Skip James

[themadchemist]

some artists I like:
weezer, rage against the machine, and mos def rank high in my books. Some of the Pixies' stuff is great; Green Day, too. The White Stripe and JET have some good tunes, too. I enjoyed Good Charlotte's first album and some songs by something corporate. The list goes on...

I've been listening to DJ Dangermouse's famous Grey Album a lot lately.

[Foxer]

let's see...

The Wedding Present
Pet Shop Boys
Pulp
Belle & Sebastian
Elvis Costello
Smiths and Morrissey
Housemartins (and Beautiful South)

[jackieonasses]

bela fleck and the flecktones!!!!!

they are ****** awesome!

[letterbox]

The Beatles!

Good Charlotte played at my high school, they are from around here. Honestly, they are not very nice people, my friend and his friends beat the crap out of some of them because they were being rude to his friends sister, well back in the day, the story goes.

Other bands...

Mineral
The Appleseed Cast
Q and Not U
Belle & Sebastian

[jenniff]

Hmm, this is a tough question... A few of my favorite bands/artists at the moment are:

Brad Mehldau
Radiohead
Godspeed You! Black Emperor
Elliott Smith

WOOT for Mehldau. His cover of "Blackbird" is the best that I have ever heard. Too, all of his Radiohead covers rock my socks off.
Props for the others as well.

Right now Donovan (60's psychedelic) is on my hot list.

Hurdy Gurdy Man (http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?playlistId=827774&selectedItemId=1330951)

This brings joy to my heart, to see "Hurdy Gurdy Man" on any list. That song gets far too little respect, it deserves much more.

Some on my list, in addition to those listed above:

2skinnydorks (http://2skinnydorks.homestead.com/)
2 A.M. Orchestra (http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/2amorchestra)
TV On The Radio (http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?playlistId=6562643&selectedItemId=6562627) (iTMS link)

Saeta (http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewArtist?artistId=6324787) (iTMS link)

any band on Barsuk Records (http://www.barsuk.com/web.cgi)
half the bands on Jade Tree Records (http://www.jadetree.com/) - particularly Miighty Flashlight, Joan of Arc (any Kinsella Bro's project, actually)
half the stuff on Absolutely Kosher Records (http://www.absolutelykosher.com/) - particularly summer at shatter creek, the wrens, pinback, and frog eyes. email Absolutely Kosher to get on their mailing list, and they'll give you a free cd sampler.

There's more, but this is long enough for now.
