4. Black Dahlia Murder
3. System of A Down

3) Metallica

And then there's various other bands that i just have a couple of songs and whatnot

Nice selection, forgot about Log and Iron Maiden, although maiden is really old and LOG has some weird stuff now, all southerny and whatever, Good choices though

I must say I find it most peculiar what people will call "Rock" these days. To me, a band like Iron Maiden is metal, while Metallica is trash and Black Sabbath is proto metal. But oh well.

Basically, I like most of the classic rock bands including but certainly not limited to Foreigner, Yes, Queen, The Beatles, The Who, Uriah Heap, T-Rex, Police, Pink Floyd, Janis Joplin, Led Zeppelin, Genesis, Jimi Hendrix, Cat Stevens, David Bowie, Dire Straits, The Stones, The Doors, The Animals, Billy Idol. Just the ones I can think of the top of my head.

LMAO

Metallica is TRASH??!!

or should that be thrash?

I think I like your version better

I take it you're a big fan of Metallica then

Trash as in trash metal?

Lol.

Dictionary definition time.

Thrash
Heavy metal music that is exceptionally harsh and fast. Also called speed metal.

trash
1. anything worthless, useless, or discarded; rubbish.
2. foolish or pointless ideas, talk, or writing; nonsense.
3. a worthless or disreputable person.
4. such persons collectively.
5. literary or artistic material of poor or inferior quality.


Now do you see why I laughed?

Rock really is a hard thing to define these days huh? I would have to say Three Days Grace is my favorite (If they are rock, I am not sure), with Thousand Foot Krutch coming in second.

Ok..so here´s my list then

1. Cruxshadows
2. enigma
3. Deine Lakaien
4 Rammstein
5. Metallica
6. Radiohead
7. VNV nation
8. North (a local band from Ann Arbor)
9 Bowie
10. hmm...can´t think of anymore. maybe Loreena McKennit
11 oh yeah...Enya

now it´s the end for now

I pitty the pedantic fool!

Megadeth, Metallica, Pantera, Black Label Society, Dream Theater, Mastodon, Mars Volta, Opeth...

This list would get way too long, so I'm going to stop long before I get to classic rock bands...

*Note : a lot of good bands start with the letter 'm'

Oh yeah, forgot to put Dream Theater, Opeth and Pantera on my list. Blind Guardian too

Megadeth, Metallica, Motley Crue, GN'R, Aerosmith, Iron Maiden, Buckethead, Avenged Sevenfold, Pantera and Poison.

At the moment I'm a big fan of the band Black Stone Cherry.
I also enjoy the musics of Placebo, Metallica, Creed, Aerosmith, H.I.M, Kiss, System Of A Down and Twisted Sisters
That's about all at the moment.

Well if we're going to stick the genre mentioned, for Rock bands I like I'd say the following:

Porcupine Tree
Hurt
Finger Eleven
Snow Patrol
Muse
Three Days Grace
A Perfect Circle

But Metal is the musical genre I like the most so I'll give you a few of my favs for that genre as well:

Mastodon
Solitude Aeturnus
Isis
Tool
Insomnium
Agalloch
Immortal
Judas Priest
Megadeth
Neurosis

There's others, but the list is starting to get big...

i must say my favorite rock band of all time would have to be Led Zeppelin.

there are other bands that are considered classic rock that i love, but i put these in their own category as the way i see it they deserve them. particularly the beatles. prolly my favorite of all time they are, but i dont consider them rock meself... they just did so many different sounds to be put in one.

i also love pink floyd and the doors, which i consider more psychedelic rock.

among others i like like the stones a lot. neil young. bob dylan. hendrix. cream. the most modern band i listen to is nirvana... and even that isnt saying much. im just not a big fan of modern music.

im back, suckas. in no order (my apologies for not specifiying specific subgenres)


black sabbath
metallica
slayer
rammstein
led zeppelin
ac/dc
deep purple
....and so on

My favourite band changes depending on my mood and time of year.
Currently Taproot closely followed by Deftones.

man, there are so many, i got to go to the store tomorrow and buy some new albums.

Minque, no idea you listened to Rammstein

Do you speak german or do you just like the dude's voice? lol

Here's my top 6:
1. Red Hot Chili Peppers
2. Puddle Of Mudd
3. Nirvana
4. Marilyn Manson
5. The Killers
6. The Sex Pistols


//Daedroth


edit: I don't like any of those bands anymore

ahh yes I speak german, I'm actually half german, so. Besides I like Rammstein's music and a lot of other german music as well.

Oh and of course I like his voice! It's cool..

I LOVE Chevelle. They are a 3 person rockband out of Chicago, Illinois (USA). What's really cool about them is that the guitarist/singer and drummer, Pete and Sam Loeffler, are brothers. And the Bassist, Dean Bernardini, is their brother-in-law.

Anyone heard of them/like them?

I guess I was wrong; NIN's "Year Zero" was made more interesting by remixes. And it isn't as lethargic as I thought.

My favorite of all-time is probably Derek and the Dominos, which was together for only one album--a brilliant, all-time great album. Eric Clapton played lead guitar and sang, Duane Allman also contributed on guitar. The rest of the band could hardly be called famous but they were all skilled pros.

My current favorite is the Ohio-based power duo The Black Keys. Dan Auerbach plays guitar and sings, Patrick Carney plays the drums. Outstanding old-school blues rock.

As far as the group I know with the most tracks I listen to..... Three Days Grace?

Van Halen is my favorite rock band. And they are out in concert again.

I've also been listening to alot of Bruce Springsteen lately.

I tend to like individual artists more than bands... but definitely Bruce and the E Street Band, Cowboy Junkies, B-52s, probably others that slip my doggie mind at the moment.

Cloud Cult.

"And I have sailed through hurricanes with just a wooden plank and a smilie face and it took me somwhere! I won't be stranded here this time cause I found escape is a state of mind and I'm going somewhere!"

Mars Volta are my favourite

My top favorite band is always TOOL. Most of the stuff I like is the realms of alt metal, prog metal, alt rock, grunge, and heavy metal.

The other few favorite bands;

2. A Perfect Circle
3. Nine Inch Nails
4. Rob Zombie
5. Alice in Chains
6. Stone Temple Pilots
7. Pearl Jam
8. Puscifer

My thoughts exactly as I was reading the first few posts. Those bands mentioned were not exactly rock. I have to disagree with you on Metallica, though. Metallica used to be trash metal, back in the day that they still lived off the riffs written for them by Dave Mustaine after they kicked him out. Later, when they ran out of riffs, they became what they are now. No more than a rock/pop band, in my opinion. Nothing wrong with that of course.

Anyway, I don't listen to rock much, but I like Uriah Heep, David Bowie, Rainbow and Deep Purple. So basically old school stuff. I'd mention Ronnie James Dio as well, though his music officially belongs to the metal genre when he went solo after Rainbow and Black Sabbath. Which brings me to the band Heaven and Hell (= Black Sabbath with Dio on vocals instead of Ozzy since Sharon Osbourne sued them) which I also like.

As for metal, I like a lot from regular heavy metal to progressive and death metal. In no particular order, I listen to:
Iced Earth, Blind Guardian, Demons and Wizards, Megadeth, Iron Maiden, Bruce Dickinson, Running Wild, Gamma Ray, Symphony X, Ayreon, Grave Digger, Savatage, Ensiferum, Thyrfing, Falconer, Dark Tranquility, Savatage, Virgin Steele, Agalloch, Evergrey and Therion. I've probably missed a few.

Haha, nice to see that my Agalloch recommendation was appreciated. Did you check out Primordial yet?

As for rock bands, if I haven't stated yet, they would be: Porcupine Tree, Thrice, Hurt (Tool fans should definitely check this band out), and my friend's band Union of Lanterns.

I can't remember, so either I didn't find it interesting, or I haven't tried them yet.

Creedence Clearwater Revival.

Its a pity the band isn't a band anymore, and the members have all aged so considerably that they can't quite hit the notes they used to. I basically revere Creedence, but I don't take much to any of the recent John Fogerty performances.

As for a modern rock band, I'd have to say Foo Fighters, though I only really listen to tracks from "The Colour and the Shape".

it has to be slipknot

My favorite band is the Who. I like a bunch of other stuff from that period, like Eric Clapton, Bob Dylan, the Grateful Dead, and whatnot, but I won't list all of them because I don't have the time, and, let's face it, you won't read it.

All time favourite band: Led Zep. No two ways about it.

My favourite song, however, is Little Wing by Jimmy Hendrix.

By and large I'm a big fan of classsic rock and eighties music, though I do also enjoy alternative and even a bit of indie (don't judge me!).

Mallet, how are Snow Patrol rock?

I like Chevelle.....a lot......like, really a lot....as in, 'that's all I listen to' a lot...

"Little Wing" is brilliant, amazing, and several other adjectives that imply excellence. I have a track of Hendrix playing it live, and it is breathtaking. Derek and the Dominos did a great cover on the Layla album, that I love, as well.

Hard for me to pick between "Little Wing" and his performance of Dylan's "All Along the Watchtower", which is pretty much the greatest cover ever made, of anything. But yeah, "Little Wing" might also be my favorite song ever. It's that, the Dylan cover, the Dominos' "Bell Bottom Blues", or perhaps "We're Going Wrong" from Cream.

-------------------

Favorite band from Tucson, Arizona that mixes indie rock, tejano, and folk-rock: Calexico. I bought Carried to the Dust recently and it is cool. "Inspiracion" is in my head right now.

So did Stevie Ray Vaughn. It's an instrumental version that kicks boat. I don't play guitar, but if I did, and I could just play one more song before I died, it would be the SRV version of that song.

Every version of it is awesome, though.

I take it you're a fan...

Though I must say that it is currently battling it out with 'When the Levee Breaks' and 'The Lark Ascending' (yes, I realise that my taste in music is rather eclectic).

I've had "Will It Go Round in Circles" by Billy Preston stuck in my head for quite some time now.

Click here if you would like to suffer the same affliction

At least it's a GOOD song stuck in my head. There was this one time when it was "We Built This City" by Starship. *shudder*

I don't suppose now would be a good time to say I actually quite like that song?

Oh, and check this out.

Paradigm Shift

Sure it would. I like it, too.

Also, the track you posted is actually quite good. It's the sort of "good" progressive rock that I like. In progressive rock, the line between "good" and "crap" is a very thin one indeed. And that track wasn't crap. There's some great riffage, and the jam/solo isn't tedious.

Incidentally, my brother had a friend back in high school who was really into Dream Theater.

I don't listen to rock anymore, not that I ever really did. The Beatles are good, though, and I have a great respect for Hendrix, although I haven't heard much of his stuff.

ma favorite rock band would be Motörhead, the one and only. But it´s the only rock band I listen to, I otherwise listen to folk/viking metal or death metal

I've somewhat lost my liking of Snow Patrol with their last album. They got too soft for me after they got rid of the bassist that played on the "Final Straw" album. If I were to get really specific on Snow Patrol's genre, I'd lump them into the "British Pop-Rock" type deal. I thought "Final Straw" was a rock album because quite a few songs have a good deal of bass to it.

Hmm let's see, on a shared first place we have:

Iron Maiden, Judas priest and Manowar

2:Blind Guardian
3:AC/DC
4:Led Zeppelin
5:Metallica
6:Jimi Hendrix
7:Quiet Riot
8:Twisted Sister
9:Skid Row
10:Ingenting (means 'Nothing' in Norwegian). It's a band that sings songs about how hard life can be, bringng up subjects like sex, alcohol, smoking, stupid mistakes, politics, being arrested by police and other stuff...but unlike modern day Punk Rock bands like My Chemichal romance and the likes it's not filled to the brink with angsty EMO talentless whining, and most of the songs have a strong moral and best of all...HUMOUR
