That is such a broad genre that includes so many sub-genres, I don't even know where to begin.

*sigh* Guess I will go by category? More mainstream stuff, too, I guess.

Grunge:

  • Melvins: essentially the precursor to grunge, the Melvins are pretty great and need to be respected.
  • Alice in Chains: Nirvana get's a lot of credit and credit due where credit is due, but they were not good musicians. They popularized it, sure, but the real talent lied with Alice in Chains; popular AND talented.

Progressive Rock and Alt Metal:

  • TOOL: Maynard just rocks, man, just kills it. A legit genius. Great bass lines too.
  • Deftones: I don't think they're particularly awesome, I Just really like them. One of the few bands I listened to in high school that I listen to now.
  • Chevelle: same reason as with Deftones.

Alt-rock, Post-punk, etc.:

  • The Cranberries. Just a great voice, great lyrics, really awesome stuff that just sucks me in. When you can read/watch/listen something and you just lose awareness of the outside world, that's when you know you found something great.
  • R.E.M. Remember them? Nah y'all probably way too young :P Anyway, really great band, great singer and lyrics and everything.

I think I am just going to stop here for now haha

Well, Judas Priest for one. Hence my username.

This could turn into such a long list, so I think I will just say my favorite band of all time is Sleepytime Gorilla Museum. Because greatness is measured by the number of adjectives in your genre. Progressive-avant guard-indie rock-metal.

#1 Will always be the Beatles, but disregarding them I'll split it off by genre.

Metal: Sacramentum, Morbid, Black Sabbath, Gojira, Macabre, and Xasthur are some favorites

Alternative/Indie/Baroque: Any band Jack White has touched, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Sparklehorse, TV on the Radio, Radiohead, Tom Waits, Sufjan Stevens, The Antlers, Jason Molina

Punk: RDP, Guerilla Puebelle, Days n Daze, The Taxpayers, Screeching Weasel, AJJ

Classic Rock: Phil Ochs, Neil Young, The Beatles and their solo work, Leonard Cohen, Cass Elliot, Fleetwood Mac

The list is nearly endless but those are just a few favorites.

Dead Sara is the best, and also most underrated rock band working today. I can think of two songs of theirs I don't particularly care for, but apart from that, every single one is awesome. Seeing them live a few years ago felt like a borderline religious experience, too, they absolutely killed it.

Linkin Park and Our Lady Peace are the two definitive bands of my teenage years. They changed enough throughout the years to make me keep listening to them.

Since then, it's been very rare that I love a band enough to go through its entire discography, but some of the bands that have some of my favourite songs include:
- Muse
- Arcade Fire
- The Album Leaf
- God is an Astronaut
- Sigur Ros
- Moist
- Sam Roberts Band
- Mogwai
- The Killers
