[Nightly Rabi]

I have a hard time picking what my top 5 artists/albums would be so I pretty much picked a random 5 of the artists I consider my 'favourite'

Spoiler: James Blake

Spoiler: Crystal Castles

Spoiler: LCD Soundsystem

Spoiler: Dr Dre

Spoiler: The Strokes

 

[TheFinish]

Spoiler: 1. Riot; Warrior

Spoiler: 2. Rhapsody of Fire; Eternal Glory

Spoiler: 3. Freedom Call; Palace of Fantasy

Spoiler: 4. The Gone Jackals; Legacy

Spoiler: 5. Led Zeppelin; Heartbreaker

Honourable Mentions:

Spoiler: Brocas Helm; Time of the Dark

Spoiler: Motley Crüe; Live Wire

Spoiler: Alice Cooper; Hurricane Years

And in all honesty, favorite Riot song is a tie between Warrior, Babylon, Storming the Gates of Hell, Outlaw, The Bretheren of the Longhouse and Magic Maker. I just love Warrior a liiiiiiiiiiiiiitle bit more. Must be the riff.

Right, Top 5. I'ma go for stuff that's somewhat stood the test of time, rather than my newer infatuations.

<spoiler=1. Terrible Love (Alternate Version) - The National><youtube=330UqSBEXaU>
I absolutely love this song. Can't help but sing along to the chorus, and it makes a great song to walk to. The production quality in the Alternate Version is much nicer than the original, in my opinion.

<spoiler=2. Death - White Lies><youtube=LTh9IuSTOY0>
Much more uptempo than the name suggests, and I just freakin' love this band. Great singer, great sound and a great live act.

<spoiler=3. Always Like This - Bombay Bicycle Club><youtube=-QKj62RKBrM>
Didn't expect to like this band at all from hearing some of their other stuff, but I can't get enough of this song. Not too proud to admit I was wrong about them.

<spoiler=4. Float On - Modest Mouse><youtube=CTAud5O7Qqk>
Simple excellence.

<spoiler=5. Let You Go - Chase & Status feat. Mali><youtube=wpFfM_dili4>
Now, I might've been inclined to recommend Pendulum's Tempest here, but the OP had the impeccable taste to recommend it already.
Instead, I'll give a shout out to Let You Go, which is fast becoming a firm favourite of mine. I think it's a fantastic track, and the video's pretty interesting to watch as well.

 

[BreakfastMan]

Okay, here goes:

Spoiler: Iron Maiden: Wasted Years

Spoiler: Black Sabbath: A National Acrobat

Spoiler: Megadeth: Holy Wars

Spoiler: AC/DC: Back in Black

Spoiler: Anthrax: Keep it in the Family
