finti

"A cross upon her bedroom wall
From grace she will fall
An image burning in her mind
And between her thighs" - Type O Negative`s Christian Woman

cermiestar
who are TYPE O negative?

finti
I like a lot of bands; Deep Purple, Clash, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, David Bowie, Police, Marillion, Rainbow, Whitesnake, Pink Floyd

cermiestar
Hey, u should talk to smoky, she likes all those bands too. really into the 80's rock thing.

finti
actually there is only one 80s band there and that is Marillion, my fav period is the 70`s

cermiestar
ok 80's 70's, all the same to me, smoky knows the difference

Dexx
hmm..dunno. Manowar, metallica, aerosmith..many more.

duffy
Id have to say Oasis

cermiestar
Oasis rock! but their new song was a bit boring....the stripes are good.

Tex
All-time favorite band: The Smashing Pumpkinscool

cermiestar
Pumpkins are good! REALLY like siamese dream

Tex
Me toosmile

cermiestar
other bands?

Tex

mah
nirvana is pretty boring. so is garbage. Real drowzy stuff

cermiestar
Greenday sounds really...hollow. dunno how best to describe it..

mah
what you SHOULD listen to tex, which should appeal to you, is Propagandhi

cermiestar
who are they?

mah
great canadian punk

finti
well I have heard other definition of that band but................

cermiestar
who hates avril lavigne?

mah
like...

finti
crap

mah
must be from someone with a strong disliking for a) punk b) political bands

cermiestar
i hate avril lavigne. she claims she's rock

finti
maybe the latter Mah, speaking for myself though , never was a huge fan of punk but one of my all time fav band started out as a punk rock band THE CLASH and I loved U2 upuntil after the Josuha Tree album they were very political in the older days........before they turned comercial that is

cermiestar
U2 were good, but someone really should have gotten in trouble for writing the lyrics "living like a mole, digging in a hole"

finti
it is a fact though

Ushgarak
I still like U2. Not 100% consistent, but what the hell! I liked Zooropa, anyway...

mah
ush in a music thread!

cermiestar
lol

smoky
finti, dexx, dudes you have cool taste. i will say what i like since i know everyone wants to know: Guns N' ****in' Roses, Zeppelin, Sabbath, Skid Row, Van Halen, Aerosmith, Deep Purple, Queen, AC/DC, Iron Maiden, Rainbow, Hendrix, Dire Straits...eh you get the picture.

cermiestar
told u finti

finti
yeah but you said 80s music big grin

cermiestar
i also said i couldn't tell the difference...but smoky can!

smoky
yeah, cermiestar get yer facts right. lol

finti
yeah cermiestar moron.....................big grin eek!

smoky
dont be mean she doesnt know. so finti, do you like NWOBHM?

finti
nah I was too much into Deep Purple, Rainbow, Whitesnake(the older stuff by them) Led Zeppelin so I never got a liking for the likes of Iron Maiden, def Leppard and Saxxon and them. Maiden and Leppard got some good songs though but I was devoted to the old school

smoky
yeah, i really love Deep Purple and Rainbow, Ritchie Blackmore is a great guitarist. and i'm a big Led Zeppelin fan, i mean their songs just kickass. i never really got into whitesnake though.

Orpheus
My long time favourite has been Simple Minds, I haven't hear their most recent stuff but they went off the boil in the mid 90s. Other favourite band are The Mission, Sisters of Mercy, GenesisCurrently I am listening to Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Nickleback, a bit of David Gray, The Coors and a mix of different things.

Evy_O
Nickelback, Evanescense, RHCP... Can't remember more... Not very fond for bands...

duffy

***100th post wooo hoooo****

mechmoggy
Mull historical society are kewl and so are Idlewild. cool

I had a think about the initial question in this thread last night, and I tried to narrow down the group/artist that I am always happy to listen to and one that will always be played in my house, no matter how old I get........

I has to be Paul Weller/The Jam. I will always listen to some PW at least every 2 weeks or so.

mah
I'll never tire of Autechre.

Phoenix

Theres so many bands I love that itd be easier to make a list of bands I dont like. I like almost all kinds of music, except maybe Velvet Revolver and Guns n Roses sick Axl Rose sucks sick

LordMortis
fave band is slipknot, closely followed by nightwish. Rather oddly different styles but i love em both happy i've always regarded rammstein high, sonne being the song that got me listening to my type of music, and atm cant stop listening to mein teil rock

SnakeEyes
blink 182

Turbo-Cajun
Pink Floyd, Butthole Surfers, enigma, NIN, Bob Marley, Led Zep, Sublime, and others

Turbo-Cajun
Blink 182 has no talent.


There are tons of other bands out there that write better lyrics, find better progressions, and produce better music.


Sorry, but its true.

"By the way, I am high. I'm HIGH!!!" - Dave Chappelle

Stevematt
Sonic Youth, Soundgarden, Kyuss, Led Zeppelin.

flamewielder
Hey guys....what ur fave band and y....
Mines Simple Plan cuz theyre not sell outs and they like what they do and always give the crowd sumtin new

Ronny
blink mmmkay

im pretty sure there is already a thread or three on this

favorite band? APC, Deftones, Incubus, or Tool take your pick erm

TrAnCeDuO
ive got many...but one of my top favorites is Fuel...theyre awesome!

tabby999
Frenzal Rhomb, because they are australian, they have a great live show, they are all top blokes and they make punk rock cool!

ElectricBugaloo
The Beatles--

All you really have to do is listen to Abbey Road to appreciate their brilliance; tracks 9-16 (The Long Medley) have more greatness than most bands have in an entire career.

Then when you look at Sgt. Peppers, RUbber Soul, Revolver...they put out at least 4 of the 10 greatest albums of all time in a seven year span. Add the social impact that has not yet been equalled and you have the first band that truly transcended music (Elvis wasn't a band folks).

Look at the songwriting duo of Lennon-McCartney; when they work together (Abbey Road) they are just brilliant, but even when they are alone (The White Album), they still show that they can stand alone as song writers. Just think of all the great songs that The Beatles had.. Yesterday, A Hard Day's Night, A Day In The Life, the list goes on. And if you look at those three songs that I mentioned, none of them really sound similar to eachother. They didn't just stay with the same formula but just evolved.

I didn't even mention George Harrison, but my fingers grow weary.

furryman
hahaha!

<<Solo>>
Dude, furryman that was absolutely hillarious!

And my favorite band is Joy Division, because.....they're awesome. And they never could have been sellouts because they really had nothing to sell.Before the singer killed himself that is.

Ronny
hysterical

Mr Zero

113
My favorite band overall are the Smashing Pumpkins...this has continusly remained in my top 3 since like '95

i'd say my second favorite is Leftover Crack right now...if you haven't listened to them they're a really great punk band

Kaleanae
U2, because of many things... great music, love how the Edge plays the guitar. The lyrics are awesome and because Bono went to my country and dedicated Mothers Of The Disappeared and also Bullet The Blue Sky this songs to what he saw there and felt...

Darth Revan
Simple Plan are just as much sell outs as blink-182, which I am pretty damn sure is who you would say ARE sell outs if asked. The difference is that blink are tolerable half the time...

APC, Incubus, or Tool for me.

Deathblow
Opeth, because they are completely without match.

finti
Deep Purple, because I like them the most

Alice_In_Chains
my fave band is Alice In Chains.
why?..
becuase the power of Staleys vocals is just fricken amazing.
lyrically..Cantrell and Staley make an amazing team and musically....all tht can b said is Alice' rock
