Your top five favorite bands

[Dez]

New top 5...done with more thought:

1) The Offspring - I completly forgot how much I love their music. Its awesome!
2) Rage Against the Machine - guitar riffs...what more can I say?
3) Breaking Benjamin - good all around
4) Linkin Park - only group that I sat through an entire album (2 actually) and liked all the songs (well, all but one from each...)
5) Default - good all around

[Zooma]

Im not sure if I posted my list yet, but ill do it anyway, in order...

• The Mars Volta
  
• The Gorillaz
  
• Mindless Self Indulgence
  
• Morning Wood
  
• Gym Class Heroes
  

The Mars Volta has been my Favorite band for at least 4 years now. Their music has always touched me. Its also the first band that led me to the realization that lyrics were essential for a song to be great (this was after my weird techno phase in life).

1 - Incubus
2 - Foo Fighters
3 - The Killers

I completly agree with your list, but Papa Roach?
Not to flame or anything, but they are terrible.

I agree, and this is after seeing them at a festival.

I have always hated Papa Roach, they are just not my style, but that is my opinion.

maybe a little, but when I was making that list I thought of their song "...To Be Loved" which is a totally awesome song. but if they did not have that song then they might be terrible.

[Zoso the Rock God]

Might be?

Maybe you should have filled that spot with a different band.

*cough* The Offspring ;D

[dharmachili]

yeah, Guns 'n Roses and the Offspring both are awesome. but they would probably come in sixth and seventh.


my favorite songs from the offspring:
self-esteem, cant get my head around you, the kids are alright, and never gonna find me

my favorite songs from guns 'n roses:
paradise city, welcome to the jungle, and sweet child o mine

Cheque's in the mail. Oh and Exalt, for stroking the ol' ego.

Okay - I gotta rant here, fellas, so putting this in "rant" tags:

<rant>
Firstly - solo artists like Dylan, John Mayer, etc shouldn't count as bands. I'll concede duos like Simon & Garfunkel cos there's more than one.

Secondly: Ok, the Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Stones, etc rock, but: with the exception of Jay (I've personally seen his playlists switching like a freaky musical time machine) do you listen to them every day? And also: how many of you on this board are actually old enough to have gone to one of their concerts?
</rant>

Okay, rant over. So I'm a bit of an indie snob, I'll admit, and I have let 7 pages slide me by while I selected my five bads on play frequency, and freshness. They're all modern, cos I leave the old bands, tipping my hat knowing I hear them in everything that has gone on since their hayday.

1: The Shins (as featured on OC, Scrubs, Garden State)
2: BareNaked Ladies (just got into some of their complete stuff - Stunt, Maybe you should drive, Maroon - it rocks STILL)
3: Augie March (you may have to be an Aussie to get them, but they are the pinacle of Aussie indie band pub rock goodness)
4: Zero 7. I LOVE Sia's voice, tho she looks like an emmaciated junkie pixie.
5: Secret Chiefs 3 - the ultimate aural experience. Check-em out. They do... EVERYTHING. At once. It blows my mind.

Now - can we have a solo artists thread, Jay?

Great songs ;D
Just for some reason I don't like "The Kid Aren't Alright" as much...

My favorites (not including those up above)

All Along, Can't Repeat, Come Out And Play, Gone Away, All I Want, Pretty Fly, The Meaning of Life, Come Out Swinging

I had many more songs that I cut just to get it this small haha
