Just wondering what the trend is for most people (or at lest most SDMBers)
a) What’s your favorite band/composer (and the type of music they play)?
b) What’s your favorite sond?
For me: a) Blind Guardian (metal)
b) watcher in the Sky
( I must’ve messed something up )
Moving this to Cafe Society.
a) Belle and Sebastian (somewhat folkish Scottish indie pop)
b) “Seeing Other People”
a) treble charger (rock, but if you want specifics, I guess punk rock)
b) “Ever She Flows” off their Maybe It’s Me album
a) Difficult either (i) Black Sabbath or (ii)Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
b) (i) Killing Yourself to Live or (ii) Are You The One I’ve Been Waiting for?
(a) Death Cab for Cutie - literate indie rock/pop from the Northwest U.S.
(b) “Photobooth” from the Forbidden Love EP
I can’t Pick just one! --[So I’ll narrow it down to a couple]
Coheed & Cambria - 33, The Velorium Camper I: Faint of Hearts (Progressive Hard [Emo] Rock)
Thrice - The Beltsville Crucible, Deadbolt (Hard Rock [with a tinge of metal and punk]
Green Day - Walking Contradiction, Only of You, Stuart and the Ave., [I could go on for days… So basically any of their old stuff] (Punk Rock [It’s not POP-punk til they hit about warning!]
a) Ted Leo and the Pharmacists (indie rock)
b) “The Ballad of the Sin Eaters”
one band one song? you gotta be kidding?
OK… deep breath
Band: The Soft Boys indie(?) loud guitars - three part harmonies
Song*:Underwater Moonlight
But if I wanted to listen to something now it would either be Catatonia - Game On or Moloko - Familiar Feeling.
*or indeed, sond
Band: Genesis (seventies)
Song: Choices, choices … oh, alright, Mad Man Moon by the above.
It’s a ridiculous question – I can’t pick one, and if I did, it’d change from day to day.
Right now, I’d go with Tom Lehrer as favorite act (I’ve been relistening to his first two albums lately). Favorite song is Springsteen’s “Rosalita.”
Band = Led Zeppelin
Song = Im not even going to try
One band / one song!?..
if that doesn’t call for one of these :rolleyes: I don’t know what does… and I hate using those.
Buuuuut, I’ll play anyway… today’s answer is:
a) Split Lip Rayfield (speedgrass, or if you like, cowpunk)
b) Kiss of Death
- The Crystal Method
- Born Too Slow or Weapons of Mass Distortion
Right now today?
I’ve gotta go with more than one.
Chris Whitley - Living with the Law
Steely Dan- Deacon Blues
Paul Simon- Born at the Right Time
Tom Waits - Going out West
But really it does change day to day!
A) Toad the Wet Sprocket (Hmm… I dunno, I’ll cop out and call them alternative)
B) I don’t really have one, but for the purposes of this thread I’ll say Always Changing Probably by Toad.
Man, I have so many favorite bands and songs… I’ve got 10,000 records and 2000 CDs - and you want me to pick one ?
OK, the one that started it all for me was The Beatles’ “Come Together”. That was the song that opened my eyes and ears to music.
Now I have to leave out so much! I can’t mention King Crimson or Steely Dan or Led Zeppelin or Deaf School or The Kinks or Elvis or The Guess Who or Little Richard…
a) Neutral Milk Hotel
b) Two Headed Boy Part II
