Of course, there's all the Jappy Pop groups and solo artists, but you said bands, so I'll refrain from listing those.

I like the bolded bands on this list. I'm really picky when it comes to music though, and everything else. But espcially music.

Top 3 bands are, and in this order
Dark Tranquility, Arch Enemy, and Children Of Bodom

Favorite song, The Lesser Faith- Dark Tranquillity

Did I forget to mention In Flames? Dammit. Yeah, they're awesome. Big fan of their Come Clarity album. "Dead End" was what got me into them. It was in a WoW video. :P

Is that the album with "Vanishing Light"? That's the only song of theirs I've liked off the past I think 3 CDs they've done. Well liked alot I mean some stuff on "Soundtrack To Your Escape" was alright but I don't listen to it nearly as much as say "Clayman" or "Colony".

Yeah. I don't think they released anything else past Come Clarity. Their older stuff is good, too. I wish I had their discography on my laptop.

You would probably like Faithful Darkness, too. But since they're a local band my guess is you haven't heard them x)

There's one of their songs. Not the best, but I hope you'll like it. :)

DARKEST HOUR

I'm serious. They are the best metal band to appear on the scene in the last 10 years. You are wasting your life if you don't listen to them.

Never heard of. Oo

Guess I gotta check them out.

Rancid, Reel Big Fish, Less Than Jake, The Suicide Machines, Dropkick Murphys, Guttermouth, The Planet Smashers, NoFX, Bad Religion, Creedance Clearwater Revival, The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Weezer, Green Day, Operation Ivy, Big D & The Kids Table

Weslife, Eagles, BeeGees, Archies, Monkees, Turtles, S.P.O.C.K, WigWam, DragonForce, Alter Bridge, Queen, Metallica, Return, Glass Tiger, Survivor, Jefferson Airplane/Starship, Stage Dolls, Ace of Bace, Air Supply, America, Heart, Linkin Park, Aerosmith, Heartland, Big and Rich, Bane, Batmobile, Rogue Traders, X-Perience, BR549, Cross Canadian Ragweed, Nickle Creek, Nicleback, Little Big Town

oasis, the rolling stones and the libertines. And countless other bands that I can't be bothered to list...

Excuse me? Darkest Hour are the biggest In Flames rip off of the century. Their also a Dimension Zero rip-off, another band Jesper is in.

MMMmmm.... no. I'm an In Flames fan too and I love those guys, but I'm going to have to respectfully disagree. Besides, even the biggest metal fan has to admit that there's just not that much difference between alot of these bands. Just about anyone can accuse someone else of being a rip off. Metallica is just a Motorhead ripoff and Motorhead is just a Black Sabbath rip off and so on and so forth.

Darkest Hour rocks out hardcore and at the end of the day that's all that matters.

Don't argue about horrible metal bands with Spitfire. He'll burn down your house and eat your family.

At this moment, I'm into

Bauhaus
Georges Bizet (Carmen-opera)
David Bowie (like there was a time I was not into him?? :lol: )
The Doors (since I was 13 or something)
Depeche Mode
Brian Eno
Jethro Tull
Korn
Queen
Prodigy
Scissor Sisters
T-Rex

HAHAHA... okay I've been warned. I'm seriously not looking to start anything, especially with someone more metal than me. I'm just an innocent little geek. I'm sorry Spitfire, please don't eat my family. Also, I've never heard of Dimension Zero, so thanks for pointing them out. I love to hear new stuff.

That is true, but there's influence and then there's down right copying a riff from another band. And Darkest Hour copies alot of In Flames riffs. In fact every song of theirs I've heard has had riffs copied from either In Flames or Dimension Zero. That's why I mentioned it. What I said was rude though I'm sorry, I just didn't find that I was missing out or that they were that great. Hell one of my favorite bands copies riffs from Megadeth sometimes.

I noticed crap like this because I'm a huge nerd. Metal does not all sound the same. There are bands that stand out and those are the ones I like. There is no other metal band on the planet that sounds anything like Dark Tranquillity. Then you have bands like Bodom and Arch Enemy who are just the best at what they do and that's what makes them good.

Honestly I hate to call myself a metal fan because I don't like most metal bands but as far as music fan naming goes I have nothing else to call myself because most of the bands I like are metal.

Lol I'm not going to eat anyones family, and I don't like to argue about the subject but I love discussing it. It's hard to find a person to discuss metal with who has an idea of what's up because most people who like metal just like everything and that just doesn't suit me.

Since when? :P

I'm the only person I know who loves everything metal.

Everything from the old stuff like Black Sabbath to newer bands like Dead By April.

Everything from commercial bands like Linkin Park to extreme bands like Mayhem or Nasum.

I even like stuff that totally contradict what I believe in. Like, I'm very anti-religious (I don't wanna start a fight, I'm just stating that I am...) but still listen to bands like P.O.D. or Thousand Foot Krutch.

We already have like a Top Ten thread. What the hell.

Ben Folds Five
Big D and the Kids Table
Bright Eyes
Elliott Smith
Endless Mike and the Beagle Club
The Flaming Lips
Fugazi
The Get Up Kids
Jawbreaker
Rob Szabo
Streetlight Manifesto

I just copied most of my itunes playlist. :lol:

Mostly melodic swedish death and also power metal bands ( generally german )

In Flames, Soilwork, Nightrage, Children of Bodom, Gardenian, Sentenced, Opeth, Lake of Tears , Symphony X, Warmen, Helloween, Gamma Ray, Masterplan, Blind Guardian, Luca Turilli, Sonata Arctica, Maiden, Dragonforce, Dream Theater, Andi Deris, Michael Kiske, Skyclad, Sinergy, Stratovarius...

goes on... nearly all of them european, i do not like american rock/metal very much.

Isn't Metal frowned upon in Turkey? I'm asking because I once read an article about Turkish Metal bands and how they had a very hard time to get any recognition.

No , there is no such thing that i know.
Of course in Turkey there are ppl who does not like metal, or its followers. ( as there are in every country )
but the problems the metal bands here in Turkey face are not very much different from the ones any other band would face in another not so big country.
I can say that there are really good bands here espacially following 70s rock spirit ( which i am not a huge fan of ) and also a really really huge crowd of death metal.

Oh, that's cool. You know the first thing that comes to my mind when I hear the words "Turkish music" is Tarkan's Hepsi Senin Mi! :lol:

ROFL!
:)

Oh please... I hate pop, except 80s

On November, Helloween is coming with Gamma Ray to Turkey. On the same stage. I have watched Helloween last year again in Istanbul. But Helloween with Gamma Ray singing together. That's a dream since my younger days...

Just like me, we should exchange words sometime, I don't know many people like that.

Heh sure...
but probably it is cause that i have grown with the EU metal other than big american bands.
I cannot find the melody which is present in european metal in american music.
But of course no offense intended. Also i do not know very much american bands. If i listen and search more ofc i will find my types and things i will like in them too.
Btw, by american meant US based. I am quite a fan of south american power metal :)

There really aren't that many good US metal bands anymore... been that way for awhile. I hated all that "nu-metal" crap that was popular a few years ago.

Take hold of my hand
For you are no longer alone
Walk with me in hell

Oh, come on! :P Lamb of God ftw! Uhm... At least right now, but my taste changes every week, that's why I listed so many bands. :S

BURN THE PRIEST!

Heh, well I didn't say there weren't any good ones at all, because there are some... Iced Earth and Testament come to mind too. But compared to Europe, there aren't near as many good ones over here.

Alexisonfire, Moneen, The Offspring, Iron Maiden, Soundgarden, Stone Temple Pilots, Black Sabbath, Incubus, HORSE the Band, Thrice, Hopesfall, The Fall of Troy, The Red Hot Chilli Peppers, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Thursday, A Change of Pace, Old A7X, Rush, Thin Lizzy, King Crimson, Alice in Chains, Poison the Well, Frank Sinatra, B.B.

probably more i cant think of right now

I saw Finnish bands among few lists! Cool. :tthumbsu:

I'm more into '70, '80 and '90 heavy and metal (like W.A.S.P., Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Ocean Born & Wishmaster related Nightwish, old Amorphis, Children of Bodom, Barathrum etc.) rather than the current metal scene. Although I'm keeping an eye of the local underground bands ('cause I'm organizing gigs and interested in new bands). Some of are pretty good and few of them might end up being something big on someday.

Opeth and System of a Down are giving kicks to me though. I did lost my appetite for Korn after the Tomb Raider -soundtrack they made.

A lot of good ones up there. Barathrum is awesome btw.

Aye... Most of my fave groups are out of Scandnavia, Ireland, or the UK. For the most part I don't like American music much....with the exception of the country/bluegrass bands I like...and the oldies groups...
