Ok so what i was wondering is what sort of music people listen to and which bands are their favourites... I personally like Three Days Grace, Payable On Death, Rise Against and Hinder because some songs are hardcore while others depict some of their lives and what they go through.

 

 

 

So post which are your favourite bands and why below.

 

 

 

(P.s. i dont know if theres a topic like this already :ohnoes: I didn't look :uhh:)

 

 

 

Darth~

There are alot of topics like this, but I'll bite.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Iron Maiden - they have a very fresh sound, and awesome bass/drums. ;P Vocals are good, too. (Di'anno, [bleep]inson, even Blaze (on second listen) is better than most crap out there)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Judas Priest - awesome double guitar attack, with Halford's screeching vocals.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Van Halen - Awesome drums, awesome guitar, DLR is ...awesome. ;P

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Other groups I like: Pantera, Megadeth, DIO (and Dio's other works), Deep Purple, Blue Oyster Cult, on and on.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

;P

omg my mum luvs hinder and play the cd non-stop 14/7

 

 

 

i HATE them now

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i dont really hav a fav but i really like metellica

Between the Buried and Me - I love the contrasts they make switching between full-on metal to soft rock/jazz. Though it's not in all their songs, it would probably be the main reason I like them. Aside from that, they're just amazing musicians.

 

 

 

Dillinger Escape Plan, August Burns Red - Awesome melodies, and I love the irregular rhythms.

 

 

 

Norma Jean, Every Time I Die - Love the melodies.

 

 

 

Lamb of God - Great feel-powerful (as opposed to feel-good) music.

 

 

 

Gravenhurst - I don't know.. They're just awesome.

My favourites change all of the time... currently;

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Chilli Peppers : their stuff is so original and melodic

 

 

 

Linkin Park : coz they rock!

 

 

 

Tenacious D : love the lyrics

 

 

 

Metallica : an old boyhood favourite

cKy, amazingly inventive and catchy riffs.

Ben Folds (Five) - very talented musician, and I find his music great to relax to.

 

 

 

Sonata Arctica - their songs always pump me up, and I love some of their lyrics.

 

 

 

Sigur RÃÆÃâÃâós - haven't listened to them much lately; but their music is different from everything else I have, and I love it.

Rammstein- just love the songs, most of them are based on stuff that happened on the news and a response to rumours about them.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Maximum The Hormone - J Rock band which absolutely owns

AFI - being a bassist, I find their basslines nice and 'punk-y'

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Panic! At The Disco - just name another band like them.. (can be sarcasm, or not. another band like them would be cool)

Mr. Bungle - Changed my outlook on what music was, are special to me for that.

 

 

 

Melvins - created Grunge... were Kurt Cobain's heros.

 

 

 

Primus - Les Claypool, Tim Alexander, and Ler Lalaonde are why i listen to them.

AFI - being a bassist, I find their basslines nice and 'punk-y'

 

 

 

 

 

 

Panic! At The Disco - just name another band like them.. (can be sarcasm, or not. another band like them would be cool)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

every other emo band out there

Smash Mouth-Loved their stuff when I was little, still do.

 

 

 

Maroon 5-Unique voice, soft music, good lyrics

 

AFI - being a bassist, I find their basslines nice and 'punk-y'

 

 

 

 

 

 

Panic! At The Disco - just name another band like them.. (can be sarcasm, or not. another band like them would be cool)

Well a lot of these bands label themselves as "pop punk" because even they know the negative stereotypes associated with emo. It doesn't change what they really are, though.

I don't segregate myself to one or two genres. If it sounds good, i'll listen to it.

Anything in the thrash metal genre is good with me :twisted: :twisted:

I guess I'll be the first to go with a rap group. Wu-Tang is the bomb, they have the best stuff. Deep lyrics, catchy hooks, and innovators of the genre on a massive level. These guys are the guys who made kung-fu samples and piano loops hot. I only wish more people of my age actually knew about them outside Chappelle's Show. -.-

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(P.S. Il ve Chappelle's Show :D )

Y'like Testament? ;P

Panic! At The Disco - just name another band like them.. (can be sarcasm, or not. another band like them would be cool)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

They sound identical to Fall Out Boy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I prefer classic rock to modern rock. Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Beatles, etc.; all amazing in their different ways. It's something that current rock can't really reproduce, all current rock sounds identical to me, I don't know, maybe its just me.

Pretty sure AFI are emo too

I never thought they were that special, pretty ordinary actually :-#

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i like N.W.A., system of a down, bliss N Eso and Rise Against.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

EDIT: almost forgot Butterfingers #-o a great Aussie alternate/hip-hop group

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But i really dont stick to a specific genre.

Right now, Simon and Garfunkel are top. Maynard Ferguson's band is also amazing, but he passed away months ago. :(

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Big band and jazz= amazing stuff.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sound track to bye bye birdie= getting sick really quickly (our musical, I'm conrad birdie)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ben Folds has some good songs like luckiest and some other ones.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Other than that, I like most any band that isn't rap or country. Heck, even some barbershop quartets are amazing!

Coheed & Cambria. I can't really explain why.

You say they're not special? How many of their songs have you heard? They defined the East Coast along with Biggie and Mobb Deep in the '90s, and were a group of nine, the largest major rap group at the time. They were all very diverse, and they used this as an advantage to reach out to a huge audience. If it wasn't for them, there wouldn't be a Method Man, ODB, or Redman, etc. and the East Coast would've been seen a lot differently then they were and are now. Plus, their piano loops and beats are some of the best in rap, I think the only beats better then theirs are Dre's beats (Of course :D ). Sorry to go on and on about it, but you were just really wrong when you said that...
