Favorite band?

ragingspeedhorn · Oct 20, 2006

What's your favorite band and why? Explain something about the band, genre etc. If you have no favorite band or don't even like music, then why aswell?

My favorite band is White Zombie, why? Well because of the "groove" which there is in many of their songs. I have yet to find anyone sounding similar.

The lyrics though is nothing spectacular but fits the music and is not bad or anything, just not the most important thing. The band plays a sort of hybrid between metal, rock, punk, funk and electronica. They started somewhere in the late 80's if my memory serves me right and splitted up in 95 I belive. Released alot of albums though only 3 of them on a major label (Geffen Records).

The living end is quite good, or what David ?

It's a rock/punkrock band from Australia!.

It's got to be Ultravox.

"Love's Great Adventure" is too good a tune to miss, and backed up by such an epic cult synth song as "Vienna", they're unstoppable. And then there's "One Small Day", "The Voice", "Reap the Wild Wind", "Passing Strangers", "White China", "Astradyne", "Dancing With Tears in My Eyes"... And more. The music is just... Perfect.

Anyway, they were around in the early 80s (in their best incarnation, anyway); about 1980 to 1984/5. At least five albums in that time, four of which are absolutely stonkin' and one of which I have not heard.

They're kinda genre-busting. It's definitely synth-orientated, but there's plenty of electric guitars too and quite a rocky tinge to a lot of their stuff.

Yea, Living End is a pretty good band, although I don't like some of their songs to much. Personaly my favourite band would have to be AC/DC.

I tend to like all genres of music except country. My favorite band though, would have to be Rackets & Drapes, a not very well known band. I've never really heard any other band that sounds quite like them. They have a sort of mysterious, yet creepy feel to them as well.

Bah, my favourite band, right now (as it is constantly changing since I like to much music) would probably have to be Queens of the Stone Age, or Children of Bodom. I mean i've liked them both for ages, and they're great, along with the thousand something other bands that I like. Queens of the Stone Age I like because of the great drumming, overdubbing and the great riffs. Vocals and lyrics are good too. Children of Bodom I like because they're crazy fast, excellent guitar, drumming and absolutely phenominal keyboard work. My favourite Queens of the Stone Age song is probably Go With The Flow, while my favourite Children of Bodom song is right now Downfall, but up until recently it was Kissing the Shadows. Bed of Razors anf Warheart are also great songs by them.

ah...Children of Bodom...I like that one too.

Shados · Oct 21, 2006

If I get permission I'll upload some Five Knuckles, I think brad and ArcticInferno will like them alot ^^.

brad.dude03 · Oct 21, 2006

Yay for that, Shados!

Shados · Oct 21, 2006

Oh fuck asking, I'm sure Ed won't mind.

Aww what?!?!?! I was gonna upload 3 of their songs to Rapidshare but I got this:
"Unfortunately all drives of RapidShare.de are full right now."
Seems like mr "I-have-360-terrabytes-of-space-na-na-na" is having troubles, as I doubt all that space is used up.

Aw, too bad....was looking forward to that...lol

The Darkness · Oct 27, 2006

AC/DC or GnR

They just sound great i guess. Im also like the sound of rock songs and ALOT of 70s/80s music.

Shados · Oct 28, 2006

Mmmm, Guns N' Roses are good. I couldn't pick a favourite band, too many good ones.

-*meow*

brad.dude03 · Oct 28, 2006

Meh guns n roses. Chinese Democracy was due out to long ago for me to ever appreciate that band. Welcome the Jungle gets annoying really, really fast. I was pleased to hear that the Offspring was gunna give GnR the finger and release their last album under the title of Chinese Democracy however it didn't work out because the n00bs at GnR threatened to sue...

TheNisse · Oct 29, 2006

Omg, it's indeed the age of punk

I like all Hip-Hop and Rap. I really don't got a favorite.
If it has to be one i guess i'd be either: Dilated Peoples, The Game or Static & Nat Ill.

Ofc i also need to mention Rage Against the Machine. Heavy rock and Rap, it's pure energy!

ragingspeedhorn · Oct 29, 2006

RATM is a classics!

brad.dude03 · Oct 29, 2006

yeah rage against the machine was brilliant music. Too bad they're done though.... oh well, there's always Audioslave, although you'll never hear the RATM's singer in that band

TheNisse · Oct 29, 2006

We've just got a new RATM like band in denmark, called Die Dumme Dänen, with one of denmarks best rappers, they rock, but they can't take it to the same level

ragingspeedhorn · Oct 29, 2006

Euw TheNisse you like those? They are so incredibly bad imo, Clemmens just keeps getting worse for each album he produces! First a duet with Cirkeline and now this "rock" / rap stuff.

TheNisse · Oct 29, 2006

I don't like him in Die Dumme Dänen, but his others albums are good. Flammende Oprør is ok, but the rest of Dans med Døden is very good
