My favorite band is the White Stripes. My favorite songs from them are Hotel Yorba, Screwdriver, Apple Blossom, and Martyr For My Love For You.

[TheEpicOfTyler]

Between The Buried and Me or This Is Hell.

...or Trap Them, Shipwreck, Have Heart, Poison The Well, Every Time I Die, etc, etc. :p]

[LongStepMantis]

Ouch. I hate that question mostly because I like a lot of bands equally, just not for the same reasons. Off the top of my head would be Queen (for sheer rockingness) Pink Floyd (Mellow, and always helps me relax...and not THAT way, dammit ;)) Daft Punk (I really like their style), and Johann Sebastian Bach (Power organ classical...I love it).

[Schnoogs]

I'm a soundtrack guy myself so I don't listen to a whole lot of "bands".

I'd say right now I really like The Killers. That's if I limited it to current bands...otherwise I'd go old school and pick Led Zeppelin or Pink Floyd.

[johnperkins21]

It's hard for me to decide between Alice In Chains, Mr. Bungle, and Tool.

My favorites from each band:
Whale and Wasp - Alice In Chains
qRbLvtcMk4U

Pink Cigarette - Mr. Bungle
TwWQYg7aS5o

Opiate - Tool

[Young Al Capone]

Always a difficult call for me, but if I have to choose just one it is Hot Water Music, closely followed by Thin Lizzy. I know that isn't one, but like I said, it is difficult.

I also have a Pennywise tattoo.

[quidmonkey]

The Shaggs

[Mdot]

I have to go with Zeppelin, followed by The Who.

[pomeroy]

Led Zeppelin.
The White Stripes.
Everclear.

It switches, you see. Mostly between those three.

[violent]

The Beatles
Nine Inch Nails
Pink Floyd
System of a Down

Don't make me choose.

[rinichanraar]

My favorite band is the White Stripes.

I also enjoy the White Stripes. I'm glad to see other people (you and pom-poms) like them, too, because I honestly don't know that many people who like them as much as I do.

Anyway, I don't have one favorite band. I have a few.

Radiohead, Muse, White Stripes, Foo Fighters, The Mars Volta, Gorillaz, Pixies. I used to like Weezer a lot, too, but I don't like their last two albums.

Beck's kind of a one-man band, so I don't think he really counts, but he's also a favorite.

[Adam Blue]

Iron Maiden
Pennywise
Bad religion

But Judas Priest's Painkiller is my favorite album ever. I don't really like their other stuff. I love that specific metal sound.

[Typical Michael]

Cant even answer this question. Although I guess my Last.fm tracker does it for me.

[Scaryfaced]

Faith No More, hands down. Best band ever.

Fucktobe (http://www.fucktube.com/)

[DangerousDaze]

Easy one for me. MUSE.

[quidmonkey]

Jack's Mannequin

[CptTripps]

I have to go with Zeppelin, followed by The Who.


Mine would be Zepp or Floyd. They may not get as much listening time lately but are still my top overall picks.

[Mdot]

Right, I go through phases, but I can always come back to those two and never get bored it them.

Completely different side of the spectrum, but I think one of my favorite albums is Enter the 36 Chambers. I got that shit when I was like 11 and it blew my mind haha. Little white kid from the suburbs and Wu-Tang just infected me. Love it.

[Lint of Death]

Thanks for making me realize I hardly listen to any bands, mostly just solo artists. ANYWAY, my favorite band is Chambao. I saw them in concert this summer for FREE!!

I think their best 'gateway' song, if you don't know of them already, would be this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vy7L2qLvNP8 (sorry, can't embed it)
"Pokito a poko" (little by little).

[rvieira]

Queen and Van Halen

[Troggles]

Holy shit, we have the same ears. After my love affair with the White Stripes my favorite bands are Weezer, Foo Fighters, Muse, Pixies, Daft Punk, Cake, and Against Me!

[pomeroy]

Love Cake. Love them.

Hahahaha, oh god, that's awesome! I actually do also enjoy Daft Punk and Cake, but I haven't really listened to Against Me! very much. Oh wow, I just did a quick search on them right now and learned that they're touring with Ted Leo and the Pharmacists, whom I also like!!!

(This is ridiculous. It's not like I like everyone I listen to... this is a crazy coincidence!)

[Typical Michael]

Against Me! are really cool. Nobody has ever heard of them though. No, I didnt mean Rise Against.

[fitbabits]

Meshuggah.

[Troggles]

I love Against Me!s earlier works. Their newest one doesn't do a whole lot for me. I saw them at Warped Tour a couple years back and it was one of the best shows I've ever seen. I suggest checking them out live if you ever get the chance.

[Bad Buddha]

I love me some classics like The Zep and Pink Floyd, and David Bowie has always been a favorite probably due to the fact that he's in constant flux. The Cure are also at the top of my list, but they're kind of a one-trick-pony.

I'm going to go with Talking Heads/David Byrne as a combo selection!

Big library of great stuff and always something different as you go from album to album. I'm still following David Byrne as he continues the legacy and he has recorded some pretty amazing stuff in the years since the break up of the Heads. Usually after a band breaks up, the members kind of dwindle off and never do much of anything after that. I think he's done some of his best stuff since leaving the band.

[scythe]

Definitely Dream Theater, but honorable mention to Van Halen, Boston, and Symphony X.

[Shadowstorm]

I have not experienced a more genuine, emotional, and real artist since Elliott Smith.

Nine Inch Nails comes in second.

[King3567]

[QUOTE=JAYoung;42777]Meshuggah.

Nice. I love obZen. Future Breed Machine is one of my favorite songs ever.

[TheEpicOfTyler]

I have not experienced a more genuine, emotional, and real artist since Elliott Smith.

Nine Inch Nails comes in second.

Listen to Have Heart "Songs To Scream At The Sun" as per my recommendation in the album of the month thread! It's just oozing real emotion.

[Suave Peanut]

Current Favourites: They Might Be Giants and The Apples in Stereo
All-Time Favourites: Starflyer 59 and Pedro the Lion
Honorable Mention: Belle and Sebastian and the Magnetic Fields

I could not possibly pick just one group.

[Scaryfaced]

I forgot to arm my opinion with videos. Just incase you don't know of Faith No More or have only heard Epic, they're one of the more experimental bands I can think of. Each album was completely different then the next and actually, now that I think about it, every song was different from the next. Even albums danced from genre to genre. I'm still bummed they aren't together anymore.

Early Faith No More -
upWUuByQLxQ

Middle FNM - (Angel Dust is by far their best album)

Late FNM -

The band's last song before splitting - (And now for something completely different)

MONTANA DISPENSARIES (http://montana.dispensaries.org/)

[Whunpo]

Jack's Mannequin
Heh, the singer/pianist is my 2nd cousin.

For me? Probably Desert Sessions. They are where I found that I love all of the styles of rock that I do. Always an awesome band.

[BLeeP]

Queen is my all time favorite band. I don't listen to them hardcore like I used to, but musically I have no softer spot in my heart for a group.

0wihvdDU7pE

Second on my top three is Depeche Mode. They never disappoint..well..stay away from their first couple of albums.

_iF_QVpd0a4

And third, rounding out the top three, would be The Smiths. Why the hell isn't there any Smiths in any of the big music games!? (I'm looking at you, Rock Band!)

TRbp0ZIehk0

Holy crap, Morrisey has some awesome dance moves!

Guilty Pleasure listed below:

3sJPUTTfNbg

Yes, I freakin' love Roxette.

[Squidbot]

So many to choose, but I think my top three would be:
Fields of the Nephilim
_xFxtfkdIBU

Hawkwind
vSR5TnNGKmo

The Clash
EItsMk_fpYQ

Some great choices in this thread, especially Faith no more and the Smiths.

[Wasson_]

Tool.

Yes...I'd have to say it would be Tool.

but it's not like I sit around and listen to Tool...in fact i generally do not listen to music outside of my car...I made some new CDs at the end of August on of which had the New World Symphony on it...awesome for sure but I should have edited it with my little mp3 editor thing into it's separate movements...kinda retarded having one hour long song on a CD.

[Jeffool]

Horribly tough call between Nine Inch Nails and Sublime.

Though if I were to toss a DJ into the mix, DJ Z-Trip is right up there, too.

MUTo6kSZlPI

Fucking brilliant.

[Mr. Murphy]

I like a lot of very different bands very much, but Nine Inch Nails has been my favorite band since 1993. I am constantly please with the new material (even if it sometimes has to grow on me a little) as well as the stage shows, the interaction with fans, and the production value.

HwV5cWLFM9U

So stoked to go see them again in November, there are a couple articles floating around the internet claiming they currently have the most technologically advanced light and stage setup ever.

[Hyperglide]

I don't really like 'Bands' per se. I'm more of just a music fan, in general and take a couple of songs from each band. But lately I am really like a LOT of The Sword's songs they just are created from elements of pure awesome, creativity, originality and are my current favourite band. Their new CD Gods of the Earth is sick wicked and nasty.

Aoqg8mQ0sNs

[Sandman]

Metallica
Opeth
NIN
Led Zeppelin
Pantera

In no particular order.

[Gorvi]

That's tough. It used to be Bad Religion back in my teens, then it was Skinny Puppy, then KMFDM for a while. Now it's Dismantled, easily. I've loved every album the guy has put out.

Bad Religion - Infected:

[National Kato]

The Clash is my all-time favorite band. Right now, I'm spending most of my time with Spoon.
