We have had a favorite genre thread. The next logical step is to have a favorite bands thread. If your an idiot and can't figure out what you need to do here gtfo. That being said my favorite bands are Pink Floyd, Metallica, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, and..........and........................Depeche Mode. I am very embarrassed to say that.
-
It's alright. I am probably worse, knowing precious little about even my favorite type of music. So, to make you look better (by stating the truth), my favorite "bands" (if you can call them that) are Yanni, The Real Group, The Manhattan Transfer, and The King's Singers. Yea, classical and vocal!
-
The Strokes, Muse, Kings of Leon, The Mars Volta, Interpol & The Doors
-
Bright Eyes, The Faint, Cursive, Streetlight Manifesto, Operation Ivy, Nas, Metric, Outkast, Regina Spektor, and the Counting Crows. Is what I can think of off hand, plus many, many more.
-
Metallica rawks!!! Plus Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Godsmack, and Enya.
-
Here are a few of my many favorites music artists, in no particular order whatsoever:
The Notwist, Pavement, Belle & Sebastian, Badly Drawn Boy, The Afghan Whigs, Led Zeppelin, Malice Mizer, XTC, Gackt, Loreena McKennitt, The Faint
I cannot remember most of my all-time favorites at the moment, so I will post more as they come to me.
-
Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Madness, Nirvana, Tenacious D, Kasabian, Roots Manuva, Skinnyman, Ill Bill, The beatles, Dub syndicate...
can think of anymore but im sure there are.
-
The Fratellis, Rage Against the Machine, Modest Mouse, Kaiser Chiefs, The Clash, The Shins, TENACIOUS D!!
that's all for now, really...
-
You call some of those bad?
CMX, Ultra Bra, M2M, YUP and MSI.
-
I thought of some more!
Aqualung, Cat Power, Daft Punk, David Bowie (DUH, me!), Frou Frou, Imogen Heap, Interpol, Modest Mouse, Radiohead, Say Hi To Your Mom, Simon & Garfunkel, Frank Sinatra, Steeleye Span, The Arcade Fire, The Beatles, The Cranberries, The Decemberists, The Fiery Furnaces, The Flaming Lips, The Pogues, The Shins, Wilco, Yo La Tengo
Maybe I have curbed my desire to name bands I love, for now?

HOW THE HELL COULD I FORGET HIS UNBELIEVABLE SEXINESS THE GEORGE MICHAEL?
EDIT: Well, if you can mention individual musicians, then Marit Larsen and probably Marion Raven are on my list as well. Kyuun-tte!
Ooh, ooh, with commentaries:
Will Smith, because the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air always makes me laugh;
Robbie Williams, because he actually makes decent pop;
Yoko Kanno / Gabriela Robin, because she has such cute and emotion-instilling songs;
Blind Guardian, because I enjoy the occasional melodramatic element in music;
Busta Rhymes, because he has a good voice and raps about something other than "da hood" and "bitches and hoes;"
Coolio, a given;
Tool, provider of the official Super Mario Kart 64 soundtrack;
Lacuna Coil, because - when I feel like it - they have a good general sound;
the Red Army Choir, because come on!;
Meatloaf's such a cuddly old man;
Metallica, because they take themselves so seriously and I need occasional aggression;
Modern Talking, because they make me laugh all the time;
Placebo tempts the emokid within me. Plus their songs are generally pretty cute;
Protomen's a Megaman tribute band. 'nuff said;
t.A.T.u., *ducks and hides*;
Tom Jones, *laughs*;
Some Eurovision artists, *laughs harder*;
Savage Garden is pretty adorable;
James Brown!;
Press Play On Tape, because they played Monkey Island in London;
Michael Jackson, because he has catchy songs and he's a great dancer;
Weird Al's parodical tunes occasionally amuse me;
Queen, which is a given as well;
Absoluuttinen Nollapiste, a Finnish band with weeeeird lyrics.
I think that's it, for now.

More in common, of crazed. This is getting freaky. The first minimized name on my list, where I say that I HATE their first album but love the second...that's Maroon 5.

-
Rammstein is my favourite band
I also enjoy Korn, Megaherz, Eisbrecher, Unheilig, Mudvayne, Slipknot, Sevendust, The Killers, Three Days Grace, Finger Eleven, and Zeromancer
-
King Crimson. They've been around for a really long time and have gone through lineup changes so dramatic that the only constant has been the guitarist. They've done some really great, ass-kicking stuff and some really terrible, ear-destroying stuff.
Pink Floyd seconded, though I'm SO TIRED of hearing Dark Side of The Moon on constant play everywhere I go.
-
Breaking Benjamen.
-
So many favourites - they change week on week.
On the MP3 at the moment is...
Amy Winehouse

Too bad the only song I've liked from them was 21st Century Schizoid Man.

I'm going to have to listen to them just on the basis of that song's title.

Ok, my favorite band is definitely Queen. I mean how much better can you get than an entire song about bicycles? No, really, though, Brian May is amazingd and so is Freddie Mercury. They really do have a lot of good stuff and most of it is pretty diverse, too.
