Favorite Band/Musician?

[Fast]

Let's see what everyone is listening to... :guitar:

[Angel In Darkness]

Right now I am listening to Dear Mr. President by Pink. I love this song. Its so true.

[Perfectly Imperfect]

Chris Daughtry-I'm going home =)

[Zweihander]

Opeth. A Swedish progressive rock/metal group, who make some of the most beautiful and atmospheric music ever.

[Mr. Blocks]

Currently listening to a band called "InMe". Simply my favourite band.

Also into:

Bullet for my valentine
kilswitch engage
papa roach
rage against the machine
lost prophets
Disturbed

And such likes.

[Angel In Darkness]

Listening to Rascall Flatts - What hurts the most

[smorzando]

At the moment I absolutely LOVE Dream Theater and Nightwish. But all I'm pretty much listening to at the moment are songs from Seussical coz I have to learn them. I havent any time for anything else lol.

[Sciuroid]

King Crimson is a force for prog on a deific scale. Beyond that, the rest is... also mostly prog rock. Yes, Rush, Jethro Tull, and EL&P. I'm also looking into getting my hands on some Van der Graaf Generator.

You know, even though I know it's against the standing rule of American jingoism, I've gotta say... Brits know what they're about when it comes to rock. Also, because I have to say it...

Squirrel's foot, iron claw,
Neurosurgeons scream for more,
At paranoia's poison door -
21st century sciuroid man!

(BAAAAH DADADAT DAT DAAAAA...)*

*If you actually get this reference, you become my new best friend. Takers, anyone?

[psychobabe]

Listening to Avril Lavigne- Take Me Away

[Mr. Bergstrom]

Got my ipod on shuffle, Let's Go Round Again by The Average White Band is on now. Love this song!

[periphrastic]

quite simply, "the fray"

[Isis-ra]

Resist/r - The Cruxshadows

Fantastic song about resisting hatred and fighting for justice...
:bunny:

[Leonidas]

Just taking it easy with The best of T-REX.

la la la, la la la la

[Red_Wire]

Favourite musician? Jeff Buckley. Easy.

However... Sciuroid! King Crimson is absolute win! I can't believe I've run into another prog rock fan on a writing forum. Fripp is God.

[MetallicRose]

I'm listening to Stupid MF by Mindless Self Indulgence (MSI are LUFF <33)
I also like listening to Nirvana, Rage Against the Machine, Marilyn Manson, Linking Park and KoRn.
And any type of metal. Metal is luff.

[saturninesweetness]

Favourite musician? Jeff Buckley. Easy.

However... Sciuroid! King Crimson is absolute win! I can't believe I've run into another prog rock fan on a writing forum. Fripp is God.

King Crimson FTW!!!!

Haven't heard of Fripp or Buckley though.

[Red_Wire]

Robert Fripp is the only member of King Crimson that has survived from start to finish. The entire rest of the band gets replaced every few albums. It's a beautiful cycle.

[saturninesweetness]

Ah, I see.





That would explain why each album sounds so different, hm?

[Red_Wire]

Exactly!

What else do you like?

[GhostintheMachine]

Radiohead
The National-pretty much all of their albums are amazing!

[Funkadelichika]

Placebo is playing at the moment. A fave of mine.

[Nobody]

Placebo is playing at the moment. A fave of mine.

Placebo = <3

I'm listening to a lot of deftones right now...I love Chino's lyrics.

"Universe, surrounds
When you're ready, it waits for us
to leave this earth, come on
they're calling your name out
I don't know, I could stay or leave,
either way
'cause the comet could take us
all the way
through

Goodbye. Safe. Heaven. New.
I'll be waving
goodbye

Return to see,
everything looks the same
I don't know if the change
made was grave,
'cause the craving remains the same


Goodbye. Safe. Heaven. New.
I'll be waving
goodbye "

[Luckintheshadows]

Placebo - definately wicked.

I love everything. But I spend most of my time listening to Classical music, because my Muse likes it and she gets pissy if I don't listen to it enough.

[BenJohnson]

At moment the guillemots, fantasic live.

[purple heart]

an unparallel dido
and ..umm :9 backstreet boys and a''.. savage garden

[bastet]

listening to disturbed - forsaken..very loud!! ;)

[Gardenhead]

I'm hoping hoping hoping for a new white stripes album (and tour!) soon. I'm deeply in love with them, and they were fantastic at the apollo. As well as at all their live shows I daresay.

Meanwhile, I drown myself in neutral milk hotel.

[bastet]

johnny cash -hurt (so so so love this song!)

[BenJohnson]

Yes it is even better than the original nine inch nails version. The whole late Johnny Cash albums are great, but hurt, especially with the video, gut wrenching.

[Salaam]

Almost impossible to answer. I have vast tastes from a range of genres. My mixtapes (which are no longer 'tapes' but CDRs) drive people loopy.

One of my favourite artists is Richard Ashcroft (lead singer of The Verve). His solo albums are incredible. In particular Alone With Everybody and Human Conditions. He's one of the best lyricists this country has ever produced. Something that perhaps, sadly, he'll only be fully appreciated for posthumously.

Marilyn Manson. A very much misunderstood artist due to the imagery he portrays, and the backdrop of his artistry. He's the Francis Bacon of the music world.

Currently listening to Santogold, and Grace Jones’ new albums. Both excellent.

Kate Bush. What can I say. This is an artist that I've overlooked for many years. I used to like her singles as a kid, but picking up her albums this year I cannot believe how individual, innovative and creative this woman is. Her latest album from 2004, called Ariel, is a masterpiece.

Gnarls Barkley. Both albums. Just great.

Classical music and Hip Hop are styles that have numerous composers/artists that interest me. From Holst to Rakim, Dvorak to Gza, Shostakovich to MD7. Hip Hop has dominated the best part of my music-listening life, and something I invested a great deal of time in.

Also, Rock, Reggae and their sub-genres. I used to listen to a lot of Reggae, but I'm increasingly listening to the Rock classics.

James Brown. This man's music has probably clocked the most millage on my sound systems over the years. Vinyl, Tapes and CD revolutions combined. Saw him live a couple of years before he died. Absolutely amazing, even that late into his career.

Lastly, Jose Gonzalez. A breath of fresh air.

[bastet]

three days grace - pain

[bastet]

sting - fields of gold
( gorgeously haunting!)

[Gardenhead]

You haven't lived till you've experience Neutral Milk Hotel performing Ferris Wheel On Fire. It tugs at my heart.

[bastet]

[Gardenhead]

I wish to express my love once more for Jeff Mangum. Oh Sister is such a beautiful song.

My favorite Bands/Musicans are:

Ray Charles
Johnny Cash
The Blues Brothers
The Rat Pack
Janis Joplin

[unveilingviolet]

My favorite band is Radiohead. Thom Yorke, I just think he's a brilliant musician and mind. Anything from their songs, Paranoid Android, High & Dry to ther new album, the song Reckoner is something from another world. I also love the band Garbage, Fiona Apple is brilliant as well, so's Jeff Buckley, plus a lot of the classics and "good" modern rock and classic rock. There are too many to list.



~ Kim

[theTERRORdaktyl]

Paul

[Henry P]

Paul,
At least six or seven of those are Irish!
No, seriously, I love U2. What about Bell X1 and Damien Rice?

[Poetical]

They are all Irish Bands Henry, yes I also like Bell X1 and Damien Rice and believe it or not I used to live in the same housing estate as Damien where he grew up back in Ireland, My brother used to hang around with him and is also a musician. I can send you a link to some of his music on youtube if you like. I am not sure whether you know it or not but bell x1 and Damien Rice started out in the same band called Juniper before they split up and made it big separately, juniper had a song called weatherman which was fairly good, I like Connon ball and the blowers daughter on the O album.


Paul

[Antipodi]

Hey Guyz check these peoples out they are an Italian Jazz rock band called "Goblin" and they are real cool ( sound abit like Vangelis)...

[Simian]

It's Dylan right now... but reading and getting ready to sleep tonight i'll be jamming sigur ros () and mayhap some radiohead or explosions in the sky.

[CreamyIllegalApple]

Recently, I've been jamming my soul with Marilyn Manson. My favorites are Slipknot, Stone Sour, Nine Inch Nails, Marilyn Manson, and Placebo.

[Priestess Yuki]

At the moment my favorite is Owl City. I love their lyrics! And of course their music!

[Chaz]

Owl City<3 ^

All Time Low probably :)

[Jermac]

I listen to very little contemporary music. I'm 62, and the music I like and listen to came from the 1960s, '70s and 80s. My favorites are The Beatles, The Moody Blues, The Doors, Led Zeppelin, Steely Dan, Pink Floyd, Blondie, Heart, and Fleetwood Mac.

[rantingpete]

I bought 'Divine Madness' on video from a charity shop for 20p. What a gem of a band!

[Henry P]

I agree, Pete. Madness were very entertaining and tuneful

[rantingpete]

Not alot of people know they were the most successful British band of the eighties. 25 consecutive prolific singles. Not even the Beatles done that!

[danecobain]

i'm currently obsessed with all things psychedelic, listening to a lot of late beatles :D

[Henry P]

I love the music of psychedelia. The Beatles were psychedelic, influenced by LSD, fro Revolver (66) through Sgt Pepper to the end of 67 (Magical Mystery Tour)
Also try the Who's I can see for Miles
Hendrix's Are you experienced? album
the Stones' Satanic Majesties
Pink Floyd- Piper at the Gates of Dawn

[Personable]

I'd recommend the Ozric Tentacles, if you're into psychedelic.

[Henry P]

Also try Jefferson Airplane's White Rabbit
Byrds- 8 Miles high
Love's album Forever Changes
Beach Boys- Good Vibrations
The early Doors
Donovan- Sunshine Superman

[Ian The Poet]

Dave Brubeck.

[BattyOldMaid]

I've just discovered The Baseballs, yay rock and roll is here to stay! Impressed with the covers they have made with other songs.

I'll probably move on to another song/band/singer, but meanwhile, I don't feel like dancing rocks!

[danecobain]

I love the music of psychedelia. The Beatles were psychedelic, influenced by LSD, fro Revolver (66) through Sgt Pepper to the end of 67 (Magical Mystery Tour)
Also try the Who's I can see for Miles
Hendrix's Are you experienced? album
the Stones' Satanic Majesties
Pink Floyd- Piper at the Gates of Dawn

Yeah, I love George's Indian-influenced stuff :D I've got Are You Experienced?, great album :D and there's an album that i loved that's supposed to be influenced by Satanic Majesties, so I'll definitely look in to that

I'd recommend the Ozric Tentacles, if you're into psychedelic.

The name sounds intriguing, I'll check it out :) Thanks

Also try Jefferson Airplane's White Rabbit
Byrds- 8 Miles high
Love's album Forever Changes
Beach Boys- Good Vibrations
The early Doors
Donovan- Sunshine Superman

I have White Rabbit and a couple of Doors albums, but I'll check out the rest - Spotify, here I come :)

[Captain Cosine]

I have a pretty wide taste in music, but Tool is by far my favorite band

Maynard creates genius lyrics and has perhaps the most amazing vocals I have ever heard; the man can convey any emotion imaginable.

Justin is one of the most creative and original bassists out there, and my favorite of all of them. His use of effects and pedals create some outstanding bass lines; my favorite being Disposition.

Adam creates some incredibly trippy and emotional riffs. Not the fastest guitarist but an amazing one nonetheless.

Danny is a borderline God. He is without a doubt one of the greatest drummers to ever live. He holds everything together, and in Ticks and Leeches he is a damn octopus.

My favorite band, I highly doubt they will ever be replaced as my number one.
