Title: Favorite bands
Post by: Algerianbania on May 28, 2007, 12:07:15 AM
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!

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.

Regina Spektor
Evanescence
Jem
Rob Thomas

KT Tunstall
Bon Jovi
Maroon 5 (I HATE their first album but, surprisingly, rather like their second)
Pink...I'm as ashamed of this as you think I should be, but I saw her open for another act, and she had a ton of those "I love that song, but I didn't know that was her!" songs.
Fall Out Boy (go ahead, call me shallow)
The Killers (see directly above)
Aqualung
Coldplay
Dropkick Murphys
The Fratellis
The Fray (surprisingly good music...give them a chance, just avoid Over My Head...it sucks as a first single)
Goldfinger
Kanye West
Linkin Park
Ludacris
Michael Buble
My Chemical Romance
Nobuo Uematsu (composer; Final Fantasy, many others)
Harry Gregson-Williams (composer, Metal Gear)

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.

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.

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.
