What is your favorite band?

[RedDeadFred]

Breaking Benjamin by far.

Moby is pretty great to listen to...

...

especially when high....

I also thoroughly enjoy the Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Beatles, Eric Clapton, and even Kanye West. Metallica is great of course too.

Wow, this thread is already going in every direction. So what are my favourite bands?

60s, 70s: Led Zeppelin
80s: Metallica
90s: Soundgarden
00s: Queens of the Stone Age

Wow that is a really great way to set up your favorite bands. Good list too. Now allow me to rip off your 'by the era' format.
60s:The Beatles or Pink Floyd
70s:Rush which shouldn't be a surprise considering my avatar
80s:Metallica for various reasons
90s:Nine Inch Nails or Nirvana
00srobably The Black Keys
Special mention goes out to AC/DC, Black Sabbath and the many other great bands I'm sure I missed.

Nine Inch Nails

although its mostly just one guy

By the way I love you.

 

[Daaaah Whoosh]

The Glitch Mob. They are way too awesome to not be more well-known.

Led Zeppelin Didn't exist until 1968 so im going to go ahead and say The Beatles pretty much have to be the band of the 1960s as much of a cliche as that is. Their impact on everyone cannot be understated.

I don't deny the Beatles were/are a significant part of musical history. That doesn't mean I like them. I did mention that the bands I listed are my favourites, not necessarily the best of those decades. While Zeppelin only showed up at the ass end of the 60s, their first two albums rank amongst my favourites of their work.

 

[Rickolas Walrus]

Hands down my favorite band is Thrice, although I haven't been listening to them as much as I should be

 

[JaceArveduin]

Blind Guardian is my favorite, there's other bands I like, but not as much as The Bards.

Spoiler: here's a starter

 

[RUINER ACTUAL]

Lamb of God

 

[Laser Priest]

I don't know why. They are quite different from a lot of what I usually listen to. Their music tends towards the downright chaotic.

However, they only have three songs I don't thoroughly enjoy, two of which are covers of songs that I disliked to begin with.

 

[Dango]

the pillows.

Because just listen to them:
Absolutely beautiful.

 

[Andy Shandy]

Foo Fighters and Linkin Park. Although if the new stuff from LP is anything like "Burn It Down" then they won't be there for much longer.

just out of curiosity what did you think of a thousand suns?

I quite liked it, perhaps not their best album (in my opinion Hybrid Theory is) but still quite a good album.

 

[bullet_sandw1ch]

foster the people, and black keys. i love there lyrics and there overall tones.

 

[Vault101]

I quite liked it, perhaps not their best album (in my opinion Hybrid Theory is) but still quite a good album.

*glares with suspicion*....I sense an indoctrinated presance...

haha no I agree, I dont see why fans were losing their shit..

and I gotta say the song "catalyst"...ME3 anyone? (I could also explain in detail how nine inch nails album year zero goes with ME3 but thats for another time)

 

[Vault101]

The Glitch Mob. They are way too awesome to not be more well-known.

DAMMIT! how could I forget?

we can make the world stop is a masterpeice

 

[Eddie the head]

Iron Maiden. I am so predictable when it comes to things like this.

 

[Samantha Burt]

My personal preference would probably be Breaking Benjamin, but honestly, I'll listen to almost anything. I'm mathematically minded so any rhythm appeals to me.

 

[JCBFGD]

Tool. Tool? Yes, Tool. I just like to say Tool. Tool Tool Tool Tool Tool!

 

[Samantha Burt]

and I gotta say the song "catalyst"...ME3 anyone? (I could also explain in detail how nine inch nails album year zero goes with ME3 but thats for another time)

Speaking of Mass Effect, the suicide mission track from ME2... Dear lord is it an eargasm.

 

[Shadow flame master]

Foo Fighters, Cold Play, Linkin Park, Journey(the band, not the game), and some Queen. Never can go wrong with any of them.
