Oh dear. I don't think I know many people that can name the same 5 bands every time they're asked this. So, I'm choosing to do something a little different.
-Favorite band of the day:
Yngwie Malmsteen. Technically not really a band but I've been listening to his new album all day and I love it. Just straight instrumental guiter.
-Favorite band of the week:
Mudmen. Punk music + Bagpipes = Freaking amazing.
-Favorite band of the month:
Rise Against. I always avoided Rise Against because they were such a left-wing band. But a friend got me hooked and the rest - as they say - is history. (Note: As a Canadian me being conservative has no real meaning in the US.)
-Favorite band of the year (so far):
The Lonely Island. Yes, the guys from SNL that did I'm On A Boat, I have their album and not only is it hilarious, but I really enjoy it musically too.
-Favorite band lasting over a decade:
The Offspring. Their Smash album was the first CD I ever bought, and I still listen to them to this day.
