Which music band do you prefer?

Not a poll just write...

Simon and Garfunkel, Creed, Evanescence, Big Brovaz, Tenacious D, Noel Richardsto name but a few :)

I have diverse musical tastes

Evanescence, Fuel, The Offspring (a select few older stuff), A Perfect Circle, and One Dollar Short.

I fear that my tastes are a little bit classical and old... till now.

From the 70s-middle 80s I like most of all Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Kinks, Rolling Stones, Simon and Garfunkel and so on... Beatles, Clash, Ten Years After, Wishbone Ash and Jethro Tull...

From the 90s I am a huge fan of Radiohead, moderate fan of Oasis, Blur and Pulp the other big Three brit-pop bands... I also like quite a lot Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds and nowadays Brien Ferry and David Byrne albums including also their earlier things with Roxy Music and Talking Heads...

U2, Simple Minds, Depeche Mode, the Cure, stuff like that. I'm a sucker for the sound of the 80's.

Old Metallica(not that St. Anger ****), Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, WASP, Nightwish, Cradle of Filth, Children of Bodom and Bloodhound Gang...

I'm more of a traditionalist. I am also the true Geek of geeks. Beatles, Eagles, Queen, Paul McCartney & Wings, America, Simon and Garfunkel, P. P. & Mary, Harry Chapin, Elton John, and that sort of stuff. Pretty lame, huh? :aaa:

I used to listen Metallica before this St.Anger crap.

R.E.M., U2, The Rolling Stones, Feeder, The Divine Comedy.

Strange mix for me. I've loved Harry Belafonte since I was little as well as Cat Stevens. I don't admit to a lot of people that I also like Kid Rock. Celia Cruz is an amazing latina vocalist. I also enjoy Cafe Tacuba, El Tri, El General and Molotov which are some more latino bands. (Molotov rocks but its a little crude for some people)I also love Tom Waits, Sean Paul, and Bob Marley. :cool:

The Backstreet Boys.

(You have no idea how popular they are in China.)

I just don't get why people hate St. Anger! Of course, the production's quite bad, but it's still (IMO) some way better than ...And Justice For All's production! Come on, you couldn't even hear Jason playing on AJFA! Of course I prefer Master Of Puppets to St. Anger, but I like it all the same.

Anyway, enough of that ****, heres the bands I like (in no order):

1. Metallica
2. Marilyn Manson

(these are bands that i listen to all the time, with friends and family, and if i had to i couldnt choose between them as to which is my absolute favorite)

No fans of Radiohead.... :( You disappoint me quite much... :)

Manowar, W.A.S.P., Blue Oyster Cult, Accept, Gary Moore, Uriah Heep, Twisted Sister and many others ranging from the hard rock and progressive rock bands of '70s to the pioneers of the american thrash metal.

My list is very strange mix. I'm sure that I missed many, many good bands...

Rammstein
Nightwish
Moonsorrow
Children of Bodom
Evanescence
Linkin Park
Seether
Type O Negative
Sonata Arctica
Ozzy Osbourne

Apparently I'm "unique" or at least on SP because no one else has suggested any of these:
BNL (Barenaked Ladies to those of you who aren't huge fans)
Moxy Fruvous (it's all about the lyrics)
Dashboard Confessional
John Mayer
Enrique Iglesias
Smash Mouth
Bowling For Soup

And then I also like some oldies:
Billy Joel
Queen
Eagles

And even some jazz like Dave Brubeck

But mostly if you looked through my cd case you find (other than every BNL cd ever) lots and lots of soundtracks :) Everything from John Williams and broadways to the soundtrack from Shrek. Also between me and my sibs we probably have all of the Disney cds... and a fair amount of VeggieTales too. Yay for soundtracks! :D

dead composers:
-WAGNER (my fav from all times).

old bands:
-Deep Purple (from their first albums - 'The book of Taliesyn', 'Deep Purple', 'Concerto for group and orchestra', 'Fireball', 'Machine Head' and from their new albums only 'Slaves and masters'). Anyway TBOT, DP and CFGAO are the best.
-Yes (I like almost all of their albums).
-Pink Floyd ('Piper at the gates of dawn', 'Ummagumma', 'A saurceful of secrets', 'Dark side of the moon' and some songs from 'More' - 'The nile song', 'Cirrus minor').
-Emerson, Lake and Palmer ('Emerson, Lake and Palmer', 'Trilogy', 'Tarkus', 'Brain salad surgery', 'Pictures at an exhibition', 'Works').
-Jethro Tull ('Thick as a brick' - especially).
-Uriah Heep (probably all of their albums after lyrics and titles, but I've only listened to 'Demons and wizards').
-The Beatles (only 'Eleanor Rigby').

new bands:
-Metallica (I hate 'St. Anger'. Anyway I like just a few songs from them, though they are copying 'Deep Purple' - see the 'Until it sleeps' video and the 'Deep Purple' album cover).
-Radiohead ('Hail to the thief' and 'Kid A' are my favs).
-Symphony X (I've listened only to 'The odyssey' and liked it).
-Dream Theater.

my now mine:

dream theather
athena (a band in turkey)
metallica
backstreet boys

Hmm, let's see...

Metallica (Even St. Anger!)
Iron Maiden
Black Sabbath
Ozzy Osbourne
Led Zeppelin
Eric Clapton
AC/DC
...and many others that I can't remember right now.

Jumpin' Jesus, people! Reading this list makes me think I'm the only SP member who ISN"T a goth! I've never seen so many industrial and metal bands listed in one place. You all need a hug! :eek: ;)

Live, Dido, Crystal Method, Oingo Boingo, old Dave Matthews Band, The Doors, Elton, Sinatra, Evanescence, John Mayer, Duran Duran, Oasis, Pearl Jam, STP, Zeppelin, Olive, 311...and that's just what I'm listening to regularly at work.

Bands? Well, what would you call bands?
Here are my bands:

Zero 7
Massive Attack
Olive
Conjure One
St.Germain
Hooverphonic
Morcheeba
Micatone
Lamb
Tower of Power
Radiohead
The Cranberries
The Doors
Alan Parsons Project
Supertramp
The Police
Simon and Garfunkel
Dire Straits
U2
Coldplay
US3
New Cool Collective

Mainly lounge, triphop, jazz, soul, funk, and some 80's rock.

Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock, Tricky, B.B.King, James Brown, Lil Milton etc are no bands but they are just a few of who I'd like to mention.

Blink 182
The Offspring
Trust Company
Sum 41
Papa Roach
Evanescence
Queen

My list would be four pages long, and I am too lazy to put it all down here. I have pretty eclectic tastes in music - everything from Gregorian Chant to Black Metal, from Hip-hop to Country/Western, from Jazz (true jazz, not just swing/big band) to Techno. Well, you get the picture.

I can list my all-time favorite band, however:

METALLICA (all Metallica - from their Demo to St Anger)

Can't stand bubble-gum pop, though - boy bands and britney spears make me queasy, and slightly uneasy.

YAY! I am not the only Rammstein fan here, who loves Rammstein and can spell the name.

And I like St. Anger. Okay, some songs ain't that good, but St. Anger itself and songs 5, 9, 10 and 11 are just fine.

Here goes:

Rammstein
Linkin Park
Sum 41
Metallica
Nirvana
HIM
Nickelback
Offspring
Bloodhound Gang
Eminem (yes, I know, stop looking like that)

All I can think of for now.

Master of Nuhn, nice list! I love all the bands down to Morcheeba. You forgot (I think you'd like anyhow) A Forest Mighty Black, Thievery Corporation, Röyksopp, Red Snapper, Underground, Air, Télépopmusik, Herbalizer, and of course the almighty Kruder & Dorfmeister!

I also like lots of underground punk, like Knucklehead (in Calgary) and The Unseen, and the UK Subs (although they're not too underground). Rancid is my fav band (and therefore Operation Ivy). I really like the Dead Kennedeys, Lars Frederiksen and the Bastards, Propagandhi (Canadian political band. Great name, eh?), Rage Against the Machine (though they're not punk) and the Casualties.

All the punk is political (even Rancid and Lars to some extent). I really hate all the bands like Blink 182, Simple Plan, Not By Choice, etc. singing about how they ****ed a chick (in a parking lot) and why it rocked. If not that then they're complaining about how their parents don't understand why they drink and smoke all day and swear too much.

I've got no problem if you like those bands. This isn't a personal attack or anything. I used to listen Blink all the time.

I'll not list every band I like, because that would take to much space and I can't remember every band I like right now...
I'll list some I've listened to last week or so...

- Neil Young (with or without Crazy Horse)
- Blur
- Gorillaz
- Portishead
- Red Hot Chili Peppers
- Led Zeppelin
- The Police
- Gorillaz
- Rammstein
- The Expoited
- Dick Dale & his Del-tones
- Beastie Boys
- AC/DC
- Breeders
- Radiohead

and that was just last week...
and some hiphop, but that's just not something fot a thread about bands... and Beethoven

Heres my list:

On top with a big star

U2

Coldplay
Racoon
Creed
R.E.M.
K's Choice (one of the few GREAT things from belgium (just kiddin))
The verve
3 doors down
Vertical Horizon
Kane (almost forgot one of the best dutch bands)
Blof (also dutch but they sing in dutch, really good)

My beloved groups and singers (in random order except from the number one and two)
Pink Floyd
Stone Roses
Ian Brown
Tool
Perfect Cycle
Jethro Tull
Joy Division and their sequence New Order
Mettalica
Bob Marley
Hendrix
Doors
Radiohead
Charlatans
Prodigy
Chemical Brothers
Big Bud
And in general many groups and singer from 60's, 70's, 80's and some from the 90's

Well, I guess I could just copy Master of Nuhn's list. Add a pinch of weird synthesizer 80's stuff (don't ask me why) and a teaspoon of almost everything Mystra's Chosen added and you've got my list.

Well, spectacular. I get the feeling that Reorx (read a bit of Dragon Lance do we?) just wanted to write up their favourite bands. However, I did read through a couple of people and was surprised at the amount of people that claim to love Metallica old school. As long as we stand here and define old school as pre- Jason Newstead, I'm glad. However, if you refer to just their self titled album, please go back to your hole. /End Rant.

Obvioulsy Metallica. Then:
Mike Oldfield
David Bowie
The Beatles
The Doors
Jethro Tull
Led Zepellin
Pink Floyd
Slayer <- Metallica with death lyrics
Lou Reed
The Who
Jimi Hendrix
Yeah Yeah Yeah's
The Sleepy Jackson
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
The Datsuns

I forgot to add these to my list:
TOFOG (No, not just because Russell is their vocalist, I liked them way before I knew that bit)
Cherry Poppin' Daddies
Reel Big Fish
Mighty Mighty Bosstones
TISM

Again, that's it for now

Pearl Jam, Beach Boys, Neil Young & Crazy Horse, RHCP, Doors, The Roots
