a music question to all...

why is your favorite band/artist your favorite?

Mine is Maná, the Mexican rock group. I guess they're my favorites because I grew up listening to them. Ever since I was like 5 I remember my Dad and his brother drinking and my uncle used to play Maná all the time and he would cry and sing too so I got used to them. Now 14 years later, I'm still a big fan. Also, the drummer, Alex Gonzalez, is such a bad-ass on the drums, he's one of my idols :D

so now what about you guys?

1. Radiohead
2. Pink Floyd
3. Nirvana

Alice Cooper of course

I guess hes my favorite cause i just love all of his songs i also love the way he is (personality) and his shows and many dther things. I actually want to be like him :oops:

Nas is my all-time favorite emcee.

Really I just love his rapping style, his flow, and subject matter... Still listen to all of his albums...

Hard to say.

my 3 favorites right now are

Kraftwerk

Steel Pulse

and

GGDAG

R A D I O H E A D !

edit- there's lots of other bands that I really love but Radiohead has been at the top for the longest. Other bands worth mention include (but are not limited to!):

Nine Inch Nails

Muse

Sigur Ros

Daft Punk

Justice

Animal Collective

Between The Buried & Me

Chemical Brothers

Fleet Foxes

Girl Talk

Lightspeed Champion

Gorillaz :)

Some bands were once great but suck now, like Live and Pearl Jam. The early to mid 90's was when I was really into music, so there's a lot of bands I liked back then that lost their way. I kinda drift in and out of bands, because I judge each release on it's own merits and not my love for the band.

But as for my definitive favorite, that would have to go to Led Zeppelin. I grew up on it, what can I say? My late childhood and early teen years revolved around my Zoso and Zep II cassette tapes.

Disturbed is my favorite Band.

Why? you ask. because i like his voice and the songs he sings. i like the meanings of his songs. he has some good deep political songs. and they are just amazing IMO

My #1 band would be Blind Guardian. I love every single song of theirs. Their sound is magical and Hansi is just a wonderful singer. And Andre's guitar work is superb.

Others are:

-Primordial: A band comprised of black metal and celtic melodies filled with such epicness and the emotional vocals from Nemtheanga is instant win.

-Agalloch: Wonderful atmospheric music.

-Empyrium: This is the epitome of depressing yet beautiful music.

-My Dying Bride: Legends. 'Nuff Said.

-Omnia, Tenhi, and Eluveitie.

I am now mentally disturbed by your sig... I hope you're happy :x

Let me first raise my flame shield... ok here we go.

I like Scorpions very much (70's and 80's albums) because they have the most solid hard rock sound I've ever heard (ex: Lovedrive, Animal Magnetism), because in the 70's they had evolved tremendously and that gives you a wide range of styles (indie, dreamy in the beginning, Van Hallen-like later). The voice of Klaus Meine is just amazing. I loved his sturdy voice (ex: Tokyo Tapes) and his screaming (ex: Virgin Killer).

Also Scorpions have created songs which for me should be in the playllist of any hard rock fan: In Trance, Dark Lady, Drifting Sun, Speedy's Coming, Robot Man, The Sails of Charon, We'll Burn the Sky, Born To Touch your Feelings, Loving You Sunday Morning, Coast To Coast, The Zoo etc.

NOTE: This is a subjective opinion.

1. Pink Floyd

It was always Tool, but I changed my mind after listening to Animals again.

2. Tool

3. Sublime

A few months ago I would've said AFI, but at the moment( being a few months) it's been Protest the Hero. Why? Bleeding emotion put into every songDivergeUnify

weeeeeeeeeezer.

Most people think im idiotic but Pinkerton has never been topped as a favourite album, all 5 (even make believe) have had elements of excellence, and Rivers' alone albums have been top notch, plus the hundreds of unrealeased demo's.

Strange really, i dislike the diversification that bands make to mainstream but its never really bothered me with weezer as they aren't big in britain

Yep. Thats pretty much it. Arif made a compelling story though. I just love how heavy they can be, and so catchy at the same time.airg6
