Most of you dissappoint me with your so-called "taste" in music.
Anyways, Top 3:
1.) Tool. No reason other than their name is needed here.
2.) Pig Destroyer. Because they are the fastest, most brutal, in your face metal band that can actually write poetic lyrics with deep meanings, even if most of them are about killing women.
3.) Three way tie between The Mars Volta, Firekills, and Deftones.
The Mars Volta is very cryptic in their lyrics and can play the guitar and drums like no other, not to mention their vocals are amazing. Firekills, being a local Austin band that broke up years ago, they only have one EP Album and one full length Album, but they're still amazing. Sort of a punk rock band that isn't a sold out emo piece of shit like GreenDay (FagDay), their lyrics are also hit close to home with me on a lot of topics. As for Defontes, what can I say other than it's mother fucking Deftones? Shove it, Change, Knife Prty, RX Queen, Pink Maggit, Back To School, Digital Bath, Korea, Around the Fur, and don't forget Passenger with Maynard James Keenan from Tool singing with Deftones.
