sex pistols
evanescence
live

1. stavesacre
2. smashing pumpkins
3. blindsidechevelledepechemodeembodymenteastwestprop hecyofpanicpinkfloydcollectivesoulmxpx :lol:

Ooookay:
Nirvana (GK, you have an Kurt Cobain-avatar and forgot them! You should feel ashame! :D )
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Queens of the Stone Age
Tool

I am assuming you mean greatest bands for their music...cause I know many bands that have good music, but unnessessary attitudes.

Anyway, I will give you the ones I like not only for music...

Temptations + other motown bands as well as funk
Kronos Quartet
Some reggae artists
Raffi


I can't really think of any more at the moment...

Hey, I love Pearl Jam (for example) for both, music and attitudes.

I think I am giong to change mine. Stavesacre's first 2 albums were fantastic, but then they started to kind of drift... so the SP move up!

1. smashing pumpkins
2. stavesacre

lol yeah I figured it went with out saying though :lol:
And hey, we have matching Av's o_0 KINGS OF GRUNGE!

GRUNGE WILL ALWAYS LIVE...IN OUR HEARTS!
*shakes GK's hand*

Guns N Roses, because W. Axl Rose is the single most honest and intelligent man to ever breathe.

The Misfits, for writing about evil, monsters, murder and death in some incredibly catchy pop songs.

Bon Jovi, just because they're good. And because they're from Jersey.

Honorable Mention:

Bad Religion, for writing punk songs so intelligently written that you need a dictionary to understand them.

Offspring, for being great guys as well as great musicians.

Queen, because Freddie Mercury had the greatest voice in rock music.

Nirvana, for pretty much the same reasons everyone else loves them.

Everclear, for writing songs that are as melodic and just plain good as they are bipolar and moody.

Soul Asylum, for being completely overlooked when people discuss great bands of the "grunge" era despite having too many great songs to name.

Matthew Sweet, for making great pop music for almost 20 years despite the fact that nobody knows who he is (though he's done music for all three "Austin Powers" movies outside of releasing about a dozen albums)

There's a bunch more, I just can't be bothered right now.

I have to back up Leo's tastes too, he picked some good bands I didn't mention, I was never a big Bon Jovi fan, but GNR, Bad Religeon, Offspring etc... good picks dude...

I have always loved his voice but I have also always thought of him as a kind of madman. Can't remember how many photographers he smacked up (even though I guess they were darn annoying).

Dude, Barkworm.. I think I am jelous of your avatar... If there is one band I like as much as Nirvana, it's alice in chains lol...

*Evil laughter*
:D

bah! My avatar is just as good!!!
/me snuggles Donna for finding the pic for me

Which was your favorite AiC album?

Axl is a living, breathing chaos theory. If you've ever heard him speak, as in just talk, and heard his thoughts on things and about life in general, you'd see that he's far from crazy. He's bipolar, manic depressive, and emotional, but he's also possessing a genius-level intellect. I guess it's true what they say about how the most intelligent people are also the most emotionally tortured. Maybe because they're so much smarter than everyone else that it hurts them to be forced to succumb to everyone else's stupidity, so they lash out. That's how I see it anyway.

beatles ( Nirviva was influnced by them as many others)
um silver beatles
oh and the Quaarymen

if you cant tell all three names are just the different names the beatles went through!!!!!!

BEATLES ROCK!!!!!

Yep, "About a Girl" was influenced by John Lennon's style.. I never really liked the beatles personally, but you can't deny their influence

1. Miracle Legion
2. Polaris (same band as above, different name, for TV)
3. Trooper (anyone from Canada will know this name well)

ya the first time I heard that I was just like wow I really like that song
to me Nirvina is just a more mordern version of the beatles but kinda made a bad mistake at the end (death of a great man)

but if you think of it both bands had a major player die in some way
and both hit the world hard

I've always said, love him or hate him, Kurt was the modern day John Lennon (Thus making the Foo Fighters wings? lol)

:lol: :lol: thats a good one

Dude, almost all of their songs are about old horror B-movies. And they are not pop.

LOL, we need to start a Grunge Revival... you know its gonna happen once the 80's revival goes out :D.

1. Nirvana
2. Seether
3. Pearl Jam
4. Beatles
5. AIC
6. Godsmack
7. Sonic Youth

Theres some more, of course.

Whats up with all the "favorite band/song/artist/game/light bulb brand" threads?

oooooooh favorite light bulb.... someone should start that thread :lol:

In fact, as of now all music I write is no longer "punk" it is now GRUNGE

now i just don't know.....i think the evry song that isn't pop/rap/punk.... i can hear and like it.... but not all of them so i just don't know

Favorite Lightbulb thread has been made. :evilgrin: .

I've been trying to write songs, but im better at just playing random things on the guitar (reverb, distortion, and a whammy bar are FUN). Usually when I do make a set song it sounds like a crappy Nirvana/Beatles knock off (think "the vines").

lol yeah that's what I sound like.. I just try my best to also do a solo along with the nirvana sound... plus, I use a Juliana Hatfield-ish guitar tone. (somehow) I'm getting an Epi Les Paul soon, that'll be my baby untill I can afford a nice expensive Gibson lol

thats cool GK. If i can find one, i woulden't mind getting a Jagstang (i've heard since they have an odd shape that their weird to play, and even Kurt diden't like it very much.) right now i have a Fender Squire... it works though :lol: .

I've been searching for a Jag Stang or a Sonic Blue mustang for years, never found one (of either) In good condition though... I kinda like the smaller necks that those guitars have, even though I prefer the big ass les paul necks. I also heard that kurt eventually started to like his 'stang after awhile and even had more renovations for it before he died... warmoth makes a good Jag Stang body, it has contours, and I dont think that the REAL jagstangs had them!

Most people refer to anything that sounds catchy that you can sing along to as "pop". I was dumbing it down for those peeps. :P

You mean the original was just a flat body? I'd have to get the remake with the curves then, cause I'm too used to playing a guitar with them. I think in Journals there were some improvements for the Jagstang, but its been a while since I've looked in there.

Well, I don't really have a number of favorite bands per se, because I'm more of a fan of individual songs. But, I do have A favorite band though, and it is the one and only...

Bon Jovi. :D

hmm in no order

the who
pink floyd
rollins band
black flag
soundgarden/audioslave
rage aganist the machine/audioslave
pearl jam
bad religon
dave matthews band (critize me if you want i like the stuff)
queen
foo fighters
old metalica
the beatles
the ramones
sex pistols
the clash
alice in chains
stone temple pilots
incubus
thats all i can think of now but i try to bounce around the rock spectrum

Ugh, tough question since they're all great! But my favourites? "Dirt" and "Jar of Flies" Which was yours?
I haven't heard enough interviews with him to say anything about this but it seems like you know what you're talking about. I just wish Axl would finally publish his album...

As do I. So far I've found live versions of "Silk Worms", "Chinese Democracy", "Rhiad and the Bedhouins", "Madagascar" and "Shadow of Your Love", and I will say that in all honesty some of these songs are "Appetite"-level GNR. I hope it sells 10 million and shuts all the stupid Slash fans up, because if the album fails it sure as HELL won't be from lack of quality.
