What is your favorite band?

[Brian]

Oddly enough, I don't remember this topic ever being discussed.

Mine is AFI.

[BlackRoija]

Blind Guardian

[Pat]

Black Sabbath easily.

Who is 2nd or 3rd and beyond that...shit there are just too many great bands.

[GameFreac]

All time - blink-182

Metal - Wintersun

[WREKage-Paul]

Metal: Opeth (eclipsing Dream Theater after they began kinda sucking)

Overall: tough call....maybe Ozric Tentacles or Rush

[xforeverxmetalx]

Turisas

[Knucklehead]

I wouldn't say now that i have a favorite band. It was certainly Maiden for awhile and then Metallica. Melvins were in there, as were the Pumpkins (in the Gish and Siamese Dream era). Shellac, based on the strength of At Action Park alone.

I can't say that I have a favorite band, now. Although I do love me some Celtic Frost and early Darkthrone.

[SadisticRitual]

Sebastian,

All time: Porcupine Tree and Pink Floyd

Metal: that's tough as i like too many genres.... maybe... Vektor or Nuclear Assault

[Metalfreak]

Metallica

after that, definitely Bolt Thrower, Emperor, The Rolling Stones, Black Sanbath/ Ozzy and the list goes on

Youch. Tough question.

When I was a kid - and for many years after - I could have answered easily with the holy trinity of the AC/DC, The Who and the Runaways.

Now it's much tougher. X (LA) is way, way up on the list, but I rarely actually spin them because it's like that music is imprinted on my DNA at this point.

The Paybacks are without a doubt the baddest rock n' roll band of the last ten years.

The (International) Noise Conspiracy are insanely unique, politically rad and never fail to fix my mood.

Nothing has the style, class and impact of George Michael. Not joking.

The Clash weren't called The Only Band That Matters for nothing.

On any given day it could be Rose Fucking Tattoo, The Humpers, Hanoi Rocks, Girlschool,Venom, The Stones, Motorhead, CockSparrer, Kreator, Cockney Rejects, recent Darkthrone and Toxic Holocaust...

[donkeytron]

Can't pick one but I have a top 5 that's been the same for at least 12 years.

Slayer
Radiohead
Primus
Blood Duster
Faith No More

I think that their second is their best. I saw them (twice?) at the Echo, supporting that album. That was a great show.

Hanoi Rocks is definitely one of my favorite bands.

[Moloc]

It used to be Dead Kennedys when I was a liberal. I think it's Prong now.

All of their shit is solid, but the last one, Armed Love is unbeatable. Every song is gold.

They defo played the Echo at least twice. I saw them everytime they came through town as they did a couple times a year for a while there. Wish they'd reform and come back again. Dennis new band Lost Patrol is pretty cool, too. Just don't confuse it with his solo acoustic project that's just known as Lost Patrol. That one's a bit dull, IMO.


And then there's SLAYER, Echo and the Bunnymen, Smiths....
