An Endless Sporadic

An Endless Sporadic fan! Fist bump!

 

[Falconcry]

musician wise i'd say Joanna Newsom or Jeff Buckley
bands that i'm liking just now are Los Campesinos! and Tokyo Police Club

gotta say i'm not feeling the love for the metal bands that have been popping up over the last few years, there's something decisively uninteresting about them

 

[FinalHeart95]

I've recently gotten into ska-punk, so Reel Big Fish is probably up there. There's also:
- Green Day
- Blink-182
- Scale the Summit
- Between the Buried and Me
- Metallica
- Coheed and Cambria
- Mastodon

...Basically a lot of different stuff. Although I REALLY like Prog rock/metal. Particularly the bands that are prog more in the sense that they use odd time signatures than just being "out there".

 

[omega247]

its a four way tie between:

Metallica
Clutch
Rammstein
Motley Crue

 

[Bored Tomatoe]

My number one favorite at the moment is High on Fire.

 

[Vanguard_Ex]

Dividing the Line
Enter Shikari
August Burns Red
Zebrahead
Flobots

Try and find a pattern, I dare you.

 

[Cheesepower5]

Pink Floyd is definantly my favourite band.

 

[Uberpwn-w00t]

- Scale the Summit
- Between the Buried and Me
- Coheed and Cambria
- Mastodon

STS, BTBAM, Coheed, and Mastodon fan! Fist bump!

Fist bump! STS isn't all that popular, so nice to find a fan.

 

[Pinkros]

SO much music, so little time to write about it... At the moment, I like:

Volbeat
Offspring
Beethoven
Bloodbath
The Beatles
Tool

Just to name a few..... (Odd discussion INCOMING! TAKE COVER!)

But can you honestly say that some music is better than another? Sure, a guitarist can play faster than anther, and a drummer can be like this guy:

But, regardless of mechanical skill, can you really claim to say that "this is the best music in the world", since no one else has your specific type of musical taste?

EDIT: just got rid of some typos.

 

[Pegghead]

Favourite band of all time would have to be The Beatles.

Without a doubt Alice in Chains, as my last FM shows from my laptop listens I listen to them a teeny tiny bit and as for my favourite musician, just has to be Jerry Cantrell.

Artists: Imogen Heap, followed by Florence and the Machine, Johnny Cash, Lupe Fiasco, and Ronald Jenkees
