Favorite Bands

Any band’s people here would like to consider their favorite and such??

Here we go!!

Blink 182 (Punk/ Alternative)
Nirvana (Grunge)
My Chemical Romance (Emo)
The Killers (Alternative)
RadioHead (Slow Alternative)
The Used (Alternative with a dash of angst to it)

I have no order as they all hold different components to rock. So I can’t really say I like MCR better than The Killers because MCR is an Emo band as The Killers are basic Alternative. But if I was to put it short in categories, Say just Alt. then it’d be…

Blink 182
The Killers
RadioHead
The Used

Get me??

The Used is the pinnacle of emo, bub. But they’re talented emo. Something that’s almost an oxymoron these days.

I’m partial to Coheed and Cambria myself. Prog metal with apparently a small dash of emo that I somehow miss.

I, of course, enjoy the older bands like pantera, megadeth, metallica, led zeppelin. etcetera.

Don’t have a a real couple of favorite bands at the moment; I’ll list some phases. Tried putting them in chronological order of earliest first:

God Lives Underwater
Sade
Clannad
Hiroshima
Massive Attack
Nine Inch Nails
V.A.S.T.
Underworld
Moby

Favorite bands…

My Chemical Romance,
Soundgarden,
Tool,
A Perfect Circle,
Green Day,
Audioslave,

spree lately.

Oh DT ever heard Taproot? They fit pretty well in your tastes.

Metallica
Megadeth
Red Hot Chili Peppers
A Perfect Circle
The Beatles
Stone Temple Pilots
Gorillaz
Pantera

I’ll keep my list nice and simple…

And that is it. Well there are bands that have a good song or two I like, but these three are the ones for me.

Ok, here is mine:

Queen
Journey
Rush
Pink Floyd
The Sweets
AC/DC
Rolling Stones
The Doors
Foreigner
Led Zepplen
Van Halen

Some of my bands:

Black Label Society
Pantera
The Beatles
Iron Maiden
Boston
Metallica
Acoustic Alchemy

And a lot more that I’m not listing. :stuck_out_tongue:

Actually, although Emo and Goth came off of punk music, I wouldn’t call Emo and Goth similar at all. If you take the roots of Emo (Rites of Spring, Jawbreaker, et cetera) and the roots of Gothic rock (Bauhaus, Sisters of Mercy, et cetera) you can’t tell me they sound anything like one another. Now for pop “Emo” and “Goth,” you might have a case, because most of the subgenres of pop punk (excepting New Wave) sound the fucking same.

As for my favorite bands, I’d have to go for:

Misfits (Deathrock)
Zombina and the Skeletones (Poppy death rock)
Behemoth (Blackened death)
Dead Kennedys (Hardcore punk)
Death in June (Neofolk)
Against Me! (Acoustic punk)
Iced Earth (Heavy metal)
Ministry (Industrial metal)
Gravediggaz (Horrorcore)
45 Grave (Deathrock)
Bob Dylan (Folk)
Cattle Decapitation (Goregrind)
NWA (Gangsta Rap)
Oingo Boingo (New Wave)
Rage Against the Machine (Rap Rock)
The Doors (They’re the fucking Doors, man! :-P)
Many, many others… but I’d rather not list them right now.

I hate to get all elitist on you, but I have to make some corrections. Darkthrone, Exodus and Hatebreed aren’t death metal or grindcore! Darkthrone is black metal, Exodus is thrash, and Hatebreed is hardcore… and bad hardcore at that! And as for Slayer being in black metal… tsk tsk. They’re thrash. how is Slayer black metal!!! how???

I’ll list some favourite bands:

Led Zeppelin
Venom
Pink Floyd
Megadeth
The Doors
Iron Maiden
Judas Priest
Jimi Hendrix
The Cure
Ministry
Throbbing Gristle
Deep Purple
Slayer
Anthrax
Death
Cryptopsy
Immortal
Exodus
The Beatles
Necro

hah! take that! no catagorization at all!

Umm… I like rap too but their not bands. In rap band’s are known as group’s. And, Elton John?? C’mon now. That’s self explainatory…

Bwahaha I knew you’d jump at my throat for this :smiley:
note I said “…” :stuck_out_tongue: I didnt really know where to put hatebreed, how fucking darkthrone slipped in there I dunno either, I know it’s black I dunno what it’s doing there oO; And exodus stays death, kill me for it but I say so! :stuck_out_tongue: You’re not gonna change my mind on that one. Slayer… I dunno everyone says something else. oO; I dunno I’d call them thrash myself but I saw so many put them under black :o But Exodus? I dont care what anyone says there! :stuck_out_tongue:

Yes! They’re good. I like them. And I agree with your views on the emo/ goth thing. neo- emo is a cancerous mutant of mainstream gothic stuff, and ‘neo’- pop- punk of punk :stuck_out_tongue: And Death in Jun rock. :smiley:

I’m leaving out rap stuff since the topic is bands. I know I’m forgetting some though.

The Police
R.E.M.
ABC
Erasure
Dire Straits

Hmmhhh… I have a rare few favourites, but I’ll give it a shot:

  • Infected Mushroom (… mushroom music)

… that’s about it?

A music group is pretty much the equivelent of a band. They are both groups of people making music. So why be snotty about it and tell me I’m wrong?

And correct me if I’m wrong, but as Elton John plays the piano, explain to me the drum beats and the guitar riffs in his songs. Oh, that’s right - he has a band too!

So can it.

Fine I’ll except it but I’ll soon make a rap thread aswell. Unless someone does it before me…
