Who is/are your favorite singer/music band?

[Luzian]

Vitamin String Quartet is amazing. I really enjoy their tributes. I especially like the U2, Paramore, Dido and The Killers tributes.

Also I love classical crossover/classical pop. Sarah Brightman, Sissel, Hayley Westenra as far as vocalists go. Vanessa Mae and Bond as far as instrumental goes.

I also love Symphonic Metal and sometimes Power Metal. Too many bands to list but mostly Nightwish, Epica, Within Temptation.

I do like U2, but don't listen to them anymore
Paramore is one of my recent discoveries. Awesomness
I think Within Temptation is the best of their genre.
Epica and nightwish are great too.

I always highly recommend "The Birthday Massacre" to anyone

[Ancalion]

My favorite band was, is and will be Iron Maiden.

 

[MochileiroAzul]

I can listen and appreciate just about any kind of music, from Tchaikovsky to Leon-Cavallo to Hank Willians to Pantera, and long as the music has "absolute truths".
I just can't cope with the "Lincoln-Escalade-diamonds-bitches-money-drugs-kill-the-cops" hip-hop. Arrrgh!!

 

[wolf_spirit]

Mine would be a draw between: the rasmus, my chemical romance (not the new my chemical romance, the old one) and billy talent
I also like fall out boy, paramore, 30 seconds to mars and nightwish

@Ancalion: Ever heard of Heart Of Cygnus? They sound like a cross between Iron Maiden and Rush.
Maybe you like it.

Heart Of Cygnus - Before The Court

This delay thing is annoying. I'm going to start using tinyurl

 

[Vegard Pompey]

Devin Townsend is god as far as I'm concerned. I also like Dream Theater, King Crimson, Voivod, Love, The Doors and Nobuo Uematsu to name a few.

Ah, a nice taste of music. I assume you know Pain of Salvation?

Well, that´s my favorite band. Beautiful. Intense. Complex. The only band that made me cry.


Of course there are other bands I adore like The Mars Volta, Protest the Hero, Sieges Even, Ayreon or Coheed & Cambria. And many more.

I only have Remedy Lane, which is good, but not great. I've been told I need to get The Perfect Element though.

@ Wolf_spirit

Fallout Boy? I want to hear your rationalization behind that one...

EDIT: I realize that may have come out a tad strong. I would like to understand the appeal behind it, as I see none. (I've heard them, before)

I think the only song to ever make me cry is "Day" by Katatonia.

 

[Wisp]

....! Thank you Anthile. I... think I'm obsessed with HoC now...

 

[FF]

Depeche Mode! Sure, they were better when the genius Alan Wilder (the cutie in my avatar pic) was still in the band, but they've still got it! <3

 

[bananaphallus]

If I had to pick one - Van Morrison.

 

[LucasM]

Collective Soul. Totally relates with me. Anyone else?

 

[Sparrow]

I don't have a favorite band. I have an "artist of the day" though.

 

[Hawkeye]

I'm currently listening to Sky. They're awesome!

[Red Devil]

Nice to see some metal-heads in here! I don't listen to much mainstream music as it all sounds the same to me. It's mostly rock for me. Pink Floyd would be my favourite band. And in no particular order.. Iron Maiden, Metallica, Black Sabbath, Queen, Led Zepp, Radiohead, The Doors, Porcupine Tree, Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Who, Tool, Dream Theatre, Eric Clapton, Deep Purple, Satyricon, Megadeth, Opeth, Avial, Rammstein, AC/DC, SOAD, Poets of the Fall.. phew. I'd be here all day. I'll stop. xD

 

[reprographist]

Manchester Orchestra
Joy Division
Cynic
The Faceless
Andrew Bird
Right Away, Great Captain
Oh no Oh my
The Smiths
And a lot of bands you've probably never heard of.
I'm really into indie and folk music and within the past year I've really been getting into metal.

 

[Logos]

Some of the bands that I listened too today (because I don't talk much, my teachers let me keep my headset on in class, which serves two purposes
1. so I can listen to music 2. to cancel out all the stupid):

The Mars Volta, Meshuggah, Hella, The Protomen (check out their wiki page), Electric Wizard (they did doom metal right, way before The Sword came along), Sleep (another amazing Doom band check out their hour long epic Dopesmoker on youtube), Death, Opeth, Between The Buried And Me (seeing them April 17!), Mastodon (seeing them with BTBAM!), Dream Theater, Protest The Hero, Yes, King Crimson, At The Drive-In (if I ever got a band tattoo atdi would be first on the list!), Coheed & Cambria, Al Di Meola,oh and everything Wu-Tang Clan has ever put out because that's the only good hip-hop (aside from Tupac and Biggie but those are given).

Pretty much everything you won't hear on the radio... oh well simple music for simply people. It's a shame that most people will only ever experience the radio, where the music is made off of a simple formula for success with little thought behind it other than to make money. poor, poor radio zombies

 

[Logos]

Ah, a nice taste of music. I assume you know Pain of Salvation?

I know this wasn't directed to me but I looked them up and my god they're awesome! (I'll have to store them in my prog archieves)

Of course there are other bands I adore like The Mars Volta, Protest the Hero, Sieges Even, Ayreon or Coheed & Cambria. And many more.

I don't actually know another person that likes The Volta! And if you haven't I recommend checking out Hella their drummer Zach Hill (one of my favorite drummers) has collaborated with Omar before.

 

[Logos]

My favorite band was, is and will be Iron Maiden.

I kinda like Iron Maiden but they always manage to annoy me with their songs because they'll write one kickass riff of godliness per song, and then (the annoying part) they will play said riff for six minutes straight and I'm like "*argh!!!*IF YOU WERE JUST GOING TO PLAY ONE RIFF THEN YOU COULD HAVE JUST DONE THAT IN THREE MINUTES!" A band I think you would like though would be SkeletonWitch because guitar-wise they play similar types of thrash/NWOBHM riffs except they will play their riff for 3 to 4 minutes. Oh and their vocals are awesome also its a cross between death and black metal (all of the good none of the bad)

 

[Double-Think]

My favorite band was, is and will be Iron Maiden.

YES!!!!!!!! Although Virtual XI and X Factor are really under-rated albums! Blaze is a great singer, different from bruce but still just great.

 

[Irishpenguin]

My musical taste ranges from classic rock, indie stuff, and then over to techno. So here are some of my recent discovered cool bands.

-Dan Deacon
-The Killers
-The Strokes-along with Julian Casablancas going solo
-Black Moth Super Rainbow (Can't help but find their name amusing)

I also relate with about 80% of the bands that Himself mentioned

Does anybody else on here listen to satellite radio to find music?

Collective Soul. Totally relates with me. Anyone else?

I fucking love this band. My dad played the shit out of their self-titled album as I was growing up and I loved every single song that was on it. Not sure if I actually relate to it though, it's just one of those bands that's like...awesome. I was really happy to figure out their newest album maintained a sufficient level of awesomeness.

 

[Cogito]

-The Strokes-along with Julian Casablancas going solo

Been meaning to check out his solo work for some time now. . .
-----------------------

There's one constant throughout the years: Death Cab for Cutie.

Otherwise, I like folk, folk-punk, shoegaze, chanson francaise, metal, and so on and so forth. I'm not terribly knowledgable when it comes to genres, unfortunately. (Where does the Mars Volta fit? Progressive rock?)

Shout-out to my homeboys:
Fleet Foxes, Elliott Smith, Yann Tierson, Violent Femmes, Monogrenade, Autolux, Marilyn Manson, Beirut, Black Sabbath, Charles Trenet, etc. (Too lazy to continue.)
