Favorite Band (not top 2/3/5)

[Masculine Todd]

I'm not talking about that passive, indecissive shit where you say "I can't choose between..." When you think of your favorite band, the one that stands above all others in your mind, the first that pops into thought. You can do it.

I'd go with At the Drive-In. Such a revolutionary band. The entire Post-Hardcore landscape has influences and traces of these cats. The bands that spawned from them are also wonderful (The Mars Volta/Sparta). Lord knows it was between them, The Blood Brothers or Brand New.

[Afny]

God damn this is tough...um...The Pixies.

[AAlgar]

Beastie Boys. Always and forever.

[Colby]

If a single artist counts, then it's Elvis Costello. If you really meant band, The Clash.

[Dark Sasha]

Echo and the Bunnymen.

Dude, you sound like a radio with the speakers blown.
It's the kind of sound that you'll never know.
The treble high and the bass down low.

WOAHOH!!! WOAHOH!!!

[The Human Target]

Single artist- Springsteen

Band- Zep maybe?

I suck at favorites.

[chazbot]

If we aren't counting individual artists (Beck) then I'm going to have to go with the Dandy Warhols.


at least, that's my selection this week.

[JoeE]

Talking Heads all the way.

[Masculine Todd]

Okay, one overall band/artist/musical act. Overall musician or musical group. Just one. Should be interesting.

[John M. Coker (Johnny C.)]

Journey?

[Colby]

In that case, Elvis Costello.

[John M. Coker (Johnny C.)]

In that case-- Garth Brooks. And no, I am not joking.

[YouStayClassy]

Echo and the Bunnymen.

That is FANTASTIC.

I vote New Order though.

[THWIP!]

I always get shit for this but fuck all y'all.

The Offspring.

[costello]

Elvis Costello -- but I don't know with the Visa, Lexus, and iPhone commercials that he's endorsing. I'm sure it's for his kids' college fund, but shit, you'd think the royalties off "Pump It Up" alone with all the compilations and soundtracks it's on would be enough.

[Masculine Todd]

In that case-- Garth Brooks. And no, I am not joking.

You don't have to defend it. You like who you like. No shame in it.

[YouStayClassy]

You don't have to defend it. You like who you like. No shame in it.

Unless it's the Offs- uh, nevermind. ;)

[The Human Target]

I always get shit for this but fuck all y'all.

The Offspring.

Hey, they used to kick ass.

Feel no shame.

Unless your favorite album of theirs is Conspiracy of One.

Then feel shame.

[John M. Coker (Johnny C.)]

You don't have to defend it. You like who you like. No shame in it.

Oh, it's not so much defense, as me pointing out that I wasn't making a joke. And you knowing the type of music I normally and generally listen to, Garth is pretty fuckin left field.

[THWIP!]

That's not my favorite CD. That honor goes to Ignition. Lot's of great tracks of that CD, and I hold a special place in my heart for Americana. That album just hit me at the right time in my life.

[BrianS]

C U R V E

Cool. However, it just seems like a bummer when people (not saying you, now) feel ashamed of their favorite music or feel as though they must defend it. Your taste is your own and you cannot change it. Be proud, peeps. Blast those iPod buds.

A lot of people seem to forget that a favorite band/album has a lot to do with the circumstances under which you first discovered them.

[Patton]

Replacements

[Supajoe]

sneaker pimps

[silverboy]

Beatles. Why settle for anything but the best?

People look at me like I'm insane when they look in my 5-disc changer and see that I have (let's say) A Day To Remember, Journey, The Smiths, Jay-Z, and Garth fricken Brooks all in there at once. I like good music, genre be damned.

[greg donovan]

right now i am really digging Flogging Molly.

Yes. Which is why I always have to explain to people when they give me a look like i'm stupid for not saying the beatles or zepellin.

That's exactly how my mix CDs are.

On the one I was listening to today I had DMX, then Cyndi Lauper, then Eminem, then the Church, then the Bouncing Souls, and so forth.

[MAK15]

GWAR!
metal mixed with disgusting dark humor.
I make it a goal to own at least 6 cds by the end of the year.
so far got 4.

[Dark Sasha]

Maybe Beck.

[Masculine Todd]

A Day To Remember.

Damn good band (if we're talking about the Post Hardcore band signed by Victory).

[John M. Coker (Johnny C.)]

Damn good band (if we're talking about the Post Hardcore band signed by Victory).

Yup. And I fucking love this song, and video-

Pretty much the only rapper that I genuinely like. Doesn't rely on "beats"

[Brian Defferding]

Fucking Slayer

[mike black]

Musician - Phil Anselmo

Anything he touches is golden.

There's a part of me that will always love this band for so many reasons.

None of which have anything to do with the Cuttlefish of Cthulhu.

[andrew french]

it'll always be Beatles

[adventure metal]

David Lee Roth - whether solo or with VH

[mike black]

David Lee Roth - whether solo or with VH

Is that based purely on entertainment value? (Not attacking,) I just never saw him as being a great musician - just a great entertainer.

BWAHAHA!
did you see the Joan interview where she brought it up and made Oderus cry? (not really, but y'know)

[Adam Witt]

The National.

Yeah. I got someone who hates metal to start listening to them just by playing him the Joan videos.
