Your MOST Favorite band! (rock on!)

It’s nice to see all of the punkers come out of the woodwork on this one. For me, it would be a four way tie.

Bouncing Souls
Misfits
Bad Religion
Motorhead

Siouxie & the Banshees, VNV Nation, Apoptygma Bezerk and Iris… ok, there are more, but I tried to limit it to four… although I really shouldn’t leave out Pink Floyd, Live, Garbage… okay, I’ll stop now, but really I could keep going. I love music!

I think I would have to go with:

Led Zeppelin

Then:
Pearl Jam
Jane’s Addiction(I think ‘Nothing’s Shocking’ is one of the best albums of all time)
Rush
Pixies

Band, solo artist, what’s the difference?

  1. Elvis Costello
  2. Tom Waits
  3. Warren Zevon
  4. The Refreshments

The Beatles, Stones, and Who are so obvious as to have been retired from “favorite” lists into their own little “it goes without saying” hall of fame

  1. The Residents

  2. Current 93

  3. Nurse with Wound

  4. The Moon Lay Hidden beneath a Cloud

  5. Black Tape for a Blue Girl

Alice In Chains
Talking Heads
Pink Floyd
Tool
Barbara Striesand

Well Mysterecks…I’m closer to 30 than 40, and the Eagles are one of my all time favorites. Second to Eagles is Deep Purple. Also love the Moody Blues, Queen and Kiss. Guess I have a pretty broad range of music. everything from Beethoven to Ted Nugent. Depends on my mood, and for most bands…certain songs only.

  1. Dead Can Dance

“Dream on, my dear, and renounce temporal obligation”

How many other bands out there even know what those last three words mean, much less used them all (or any of them!) in the same sentence, in the same song :stuck_out_tongue:

After that, in no particular order:

  1. Lisa Gerrard (after DCD broke up)
  2. They might be Giants
  3. Bach
  4. Mozart
  5. Vivaldi
  6. Enigma
  7. Black Tape for a Blue Girl
  8. Loreena McKennit
  9. Sarah Mclachlan
  10. Chris Deburgh

In no particular order,

They Might Be Giants
The Bobs
Moxy Früvous

Just remembered two more,

Uncle Bonsai
Cub

COWBOY MOUTH!!!
The Mouth live moves my soul.

Runners up are:
Mighty Mighty Bosstones
They Might Be Giants
Lyle Lovett
BR5-49
Southern Culture on the Skids

In no order:

Phish (Deer Creek->Polaris, here I come! Five shows, baby!)
Dylan
U2 (People bitch because their new stuff doesn’t sound like their old stuff. Would you rather they keep cranking out cookie-cutter albums into their old age? (cough Stones cough)
the Dead
REM (see U2 comment, although some evidence indicates that they may be in the process of Jumping the Shark)
Beck (one of few important artists to emerge in the 90’s, IMO)
Tom Waits
Springsteen
Asylum Street Spankers
Reverend Horton Heat

ask me tomorrow, and I’m sure the list will have changed…

Dr. J

Ben Folds Five.
