Favourite Band (current)

[Stone Ill]

Times change aswell as people, so what band is currently your favourite?

Mine would be..

Alien Ant Farm

[Tetsu Deinonychus]

Daft Punk

[damnhooligan]

Without a doubt:

Splashdown (Despite the fact that they are no longer together)

[Mars-Chan]

*coughs* Jimmy Buffett *coughs* :lol:

[That Matt Guy]

The Misfits

[Peanut]

Green Day.

[cqb101]

Green Day

[Dr. Doom]

My favorite band is a Finnish power metal band named Sonata Arctica, among other european metal bands, and a few american ones. But none of them are really very well-known other than Metallica and maybe Iced Earth. and possibly In Flames, they were on the Freddy/Jason soundtrack after all. Anyways, I hafta suggest, if anyone here is into meetal, and I mean METAl, not the crap that gets played on your local radio station, go to Snake Net Metal Radio (htpp://www.snakenetmetalradio.com) and check it out. They've got a humongous database of some kickass bands. Granted, there will be some stuff that'll play that might not be your cup of tea, but it's really a great way to expand your pallette and discover some new bands you would've never heard about otherwise.[/url]

[Kid Icarus]

I'm switching between Radiohead, Nirvana, and the White Stripes... it's a toss up.

[Barkworm]

Pearl Jam or Alice in Chains? Too hard to decide...

It's too sad that I'll never hear a duet of these guys... :cry:

[Cascadia]

I listen to too many types of music to have a favorite band. I love classical, New Age (Enya), Country, light rock, oldies.

[Raven]

mushroomhead

[Kid Icarus]

It's too sad that I'll never hear a duet of these guys... :cry: even if Layne was still a live, i doubt it would have happend... =\.

[Leo656]

Of all time? Guns N Roses. Current as in a more "recent" band currently getting played on the radio etc? AFI. Probably the ONLY really, really great band getting recognized at all by the "mainstream" right now.

And Doom, what little I have heard of Sonata Arctica has been awesome. I love "Kingdom For a Heart". One of these days I'm gonna try and get some'a their CDs off Amazon or something.

[Eternelle]

Hmmm... I'm having a hard time choosing between Matchbox Twenty and Third Eye Blind.

[Kid Icarus]

Of all time? Guns N Roses. Current as in a more "recent" band currently getting played on the radio etc? AFI. Probably the ONLY really, really great band getting recognized at all by the "mainstream" right now. I haven't heard must of AFI, but I do like what I've heard. That and the Girls not Grey video was interesting.

[Leo656]

I remember seeing AFI open for Offspring back in 1997. When I heard "Girl's Not grey" on the radio and heard the DJ say it was from AFI it was like :o Seeing bands you watch start out finally make it somewhat big is like watching your kids grow up almost.

Girl's Not Grey is my favorite AFI song, but there are tons of great songs on all their other records. Currently I have Sing the Sorrow, Answer That and Stay Fashionable, The Art of Drowning, Very Proud Of Ya, Black Sails in the Sunset, A Fire Inside EP, and the All Hallow's Eve EP. They do some awesome Misfits covers like "Halloween". And the song Offspring did for the "Me, Myself, and Irene" soundtrack, called "TotalImmortal", was an AFI song.

I recommend all AFI's stuff. Some of their earlier stuff was way more punk than their latest stuff (back when AFI stood for "Asking For It" before they changed to "A Fire Inside"), but as you listen to the albums in order you can hear a gradual change in their style as they became more experienced and their style matured. I'm totally diggin' them right now, as you can tell.

[Kid Icarus]

when i get money i'll have to go pick up some of their stuff then :D.

[Eye of Sarnath]

AFI isn't too bad, but they're not my favortie band. My favorite band of all time would have to be Rage Against the Machine. Unfortunately, they broke up quite a while ago... If I had to choose a band that was still together, I'd choose Anti-Flag probably.

[That Matt Guy]

So you like Commie bands?

[Voltron]

Daft Punk is pretty damn good. I got into Techno **** thanks to my affinity to old Mega Man games.

Other than that, everything is really just crap...

I liked Gorillaz, but you don't hear them to often. Um, yeah, no one is good to me these days.

[Reznorite420]

For the last time...

NINE INCH NAILS!!!!!!!!!!!

[heretic888]

Without a doubt, limpbizkit.

[Mars-Chan]

I can't believe nobody said Coldplay!
So I'll say it: COLDPLAY!!!! :lol:

[Kid Icarus]

So you like Commie bands?The cold war's over matt ;). :lol:

[Reznorite420]

So you like Commie bands?The cold war's over matt ;). :lol:But communism ain't ;)

[Dr. Doom]

Ah, touché.

Jeff Dayo from Sonicflood
Chris Tomlin
Jason Mraz
No Doubt
Christina Aguilera
N'Sync
Michael Jackson

[Kid Icarus]

I don't have a favorite band.. I listen to too many different kinds of music for that.. I so however have musical moods... I am in a

Rob Zombie/Ozzy/ Type O Negative mood....

although I was in a Tom Waits/Johnny Cash mood earlier...


Blaze DTGG

[Kid Icarus]

White Stripes, Cold, Kittie, Nirvana.
Kittie is AWESOME live... their bassist is just... O_O. she was yelling obsenities at guys in the front and just getting them so pissed off. i coulden't hear them though, cause i was towards the back.

[Reznorite420]

The worst:
1. Nickleback
4. Post-"Black Album" MetallicaHey man, there's some good Nickelback stuff out there, and not ALL of the post 1991 Metallica was bad ("Fuel", anyone? "The Memory Remains"?)

[ZariusTwo]

1. If you mean "Someday" I would agree, it's good stuff..for me to poop on. :lol:

2. "The Unforgiven II" and "I Dissapear": that's it.

[Reznorite420]

"The Unforgiven II"That song was blasphemy. Now get the stick outta your butt and lose the 'tude.

[Blaze DTGG]

Unforgiven did NOT need a sequal

Blaze DTGG

[Leo656]

There are a few I've forgotten, so forgive me for that. :)


All I've been listening to for the past few days was

Powerman 5000 ~ Tonight The Stars Revolt

It's an awesome CD, even though it was made in 1999. Just because things are old or semi-old, doesn't mean they suck. :P

[Leo656]

For the record, I own Nickelback's "Silver Side Up", like some songs and don't care for others. "How You Remind Me" was played to DEATH, and it's not my favorite, but it does have meaning for me since it reminds me very strongly of my last relationship before I met Mary. And that's usually how I judge most songs anyway: personal relevance.

I'd say I think Nickelback isn't a "great" band but better than Limp Bizkit, who fall under "eh." Not "bad", but not good. Just "eh".

I also just recently heard New Found Glory and I like them as well. Anyone who likes them should check around for a band called Gameface, they're really great and their earlier stuff bears a slight resemblance to NFG.

[ZariusTwo]

"Queens of the Stone Age", GREAT BAND, prehaps the succesors to a lot of worthy names before them

Not to mention my dogs Dre and Eminem

[Leo656]

I'm neutral on Dre, but Eminem insulted a friend of mine so if he ever comes to Jersey I'll be looking to jack his jaw. F*cking punk.

[ZariusTwo]

Holy...

What happened dude?

I was called a few names myself when I dissed that no-talent 50 cents to a few fan's faces, I still respect Marshall, but damn I hate what he unleashed on the world with that loser

[Leo656]

Long story short, this chick I'm friends with went to an Eminem show and got to go backstage. She told him she liked his stuff, all that, and when she was done talking he called her ugly and asked if she had a penis. To her credit, she told him that if she did it would probably be a lot bigger than his.

Me? I agree with my boy Everlast's opinion of Eminem: "Actin' like a punk is just actin' like a punk."

[Dane E5R]

Radiohead's my all time favorite band.. Followed by A Perfect Circle, Tool, System of a Down and Deftones.. Not what you'd expect from a brotha like myself, but don't worry.. I still love rap. :D

[Mondo J. Gecko]

raps not bad :| .... I'm more of a Coldplay, Nickelback, Jimi Hendrix, Red Hot Chilli Peppers and The Beatles kind of guy though
*Cough*
andLennyKravitz
*Cough*

[Raven]

[GK Punk]

First of all, I know I'm not a Mod Here, but Moddy-senses are tingling so I feel the need to remind people not to flame eachother for having different tastes.

Ive been listening to Finger Eleven, Sevendust a LOT of Smashing Pumpkins, Kittie, and some Japanese bands. (YeMon and Speena to be specific)

Damn Elite, You have some good taste in music! SOAD is one of the few "Down Tuned Nu-Metal" bands I like.

There is some rap I like, I think Leo knows that, Im a huge fan of Early NWA and Dre Solo stuff with Snoop. I still listen to Warren G everyonce in awhile. (G'Head people make fun I dont care)

Da Band (eh... it was compelling)
Naughty By Nature (I know you're down wit O-P-P!!!)
Outkast (HEEEEY YAAAA... I like the way I move when I say that...)

In contradiction to Rez, I'm more into "black man's music". Heh... it's more fun to move to.

[damnhooligan]

I'm weird.

In no particular order: Clutch, Splashdown, Cirrus, Sevendust, Luscious Jackson, DJ Rap, Supreme Beings of Leisure, Audioslave, Esthero, Morcheeba, Lunatic Calm, Curve, P-Funk and James Brown. I'm heavy into old blues, bossanova and samba as well. An odd combination to say the least.

I've also had the theme from Indiana Jones stuck in my head for three solid days now.

[GK Punk]

Sevendust rules.
I'm really looking forward to their next album.

Dang, Rez ... that portion of your lengthy list reads like an excerpt from my own. The vast majority of the artists you listed are in my own "audio library".

In all honesty, artists from almost every genre are represented in my collection. I love music. Period. I couldn't care less what category it falls under. If it sounds good to me, that's all that matters. Am I eclectic in my tastes? Nah ... "just plain schizo" would probably be closer to the truth.

[That Matt Guy]

An odd combination to say the least.

Thats no more strange than my Punk/Bluegrass taste in music.

To each their own. Rock on.

[Quiller-Bee]

... Bad Livers?

[Reznorite420]

In contradiction to Rez, I'm more into "black man's music". Heh... it's more fun to move to.Personally, I don't see music as something to "move" to, just to listen. It's gotta have some meaning to it as well, not to say what NTN listens to doesn't, however.

However, not many know this, but NIN actually started out as stuff to "move" to, at least in the synth-pop sense. Listen to the song "Sin" and you'll see what I mean ;)In all honesty, artists from almost every genre are represented in my collection.In all honesty, my personal rule is that I have to like at least 2 songs from every popular genre (rap/hip-hop included) in order to live...otherwise I'm no good as a human being ;)

You don't move when listening to Rock music??? I mean not like dancing but more than... going wild! :wink:

[Reznorite420]

It all depends on what the song is. If it's Quiet Riot's "Cum On Feel The Noize" [that's it name, so mods please don't edit it], then yeah, I'm jumping all over the place! If it's Metallica's cover of "Turn the Page", then I'm just sitting down lip-syncing to it.

[Cascadia]

*Tackles Sci-freak for being a Parrothead---ergo, A Jimmy Bufett fan* I found me another one! :D

:lol: I have his entire collection of music.

[heretic888]

My favorite current "rock bands" include...

Limpbizkit ( especially 'Results May Vary'), Deftones, Korn (especially 'Untouchables'), Tool, A Perfect Circle, System of a Down, and NIN.

I don't really "hate" any band or musical group, much less any genre, so I can't comment on that department.

[Mars-Chan]

:lol: *beams* So do I Sci-Freak. So do I.

My opinion doesn't solely rest on what the words say, that makes a good song, otherwise... there is just no use for catchy and addictive beats. Now that's what makes rap so much fun, because it has more than one use in its own "musical" way. Hell, I'll call it musical entrtainment. But you're right, music DOES tie in with words and how you listen, but rap has more than one purpose. Underground artists fill in that void, where I listen to lyrics that form into a whole. That's why I listen to Royce da 5'9'', Canibus, or Lloyd Banks.

But then, what do we call songs that aren't meant for listening? Nonetheless, it is still considered music because it is something that originates from the mind of the artist. Whether it be of your preference or not, whether it matches your definition or contradicts it; music is everything. From the sounds you hear when a band bangs trashcans all the way to stupid words that make no sense, but have a main purpose to pump you up. Music comes in different forms and has different functions, it's all a matter of how you use them.

[Reznorite420]

Sheesh...make a neutral, objective comment, get a non-neutral reply...

[R-iZZy]

Yeah, it was my definition of music, because I didn't agree with yours. I don't want to go flaming over music and preference, I respect your opinions and beliefs... you don't have to respect mine, I just wished that futile arguments didn't have to come with my beliefs.

[JameO]

I personally think Rock has meaning and fights for some reasons. And a cool beat like "banging on the garbage can". Rap is more of a liking thing and talking about what the genre is about. Rock is more of a meaning. And I think Rap is a phony music. Not like rock having skill using guitar and drums and whatever makes the addictive beat. Rap is more generated from scratching or copying other stuff. It is just my opinion. So if you like Rap don't flame me.

[heretic888]

I find the notion that one genre or "style" is inherently better than another to be quite humorous and horridly misinformed. That'd be like saying blonde hair (another surface feature) is inherently superior to brunette, or mustard tastes better than mayo.

When it comes to superficial surface features, then it all really comes down to individual preference.

[Mars-Chan]

Sci-Freak, do you know this one (this one's easy....):
