Favorite Band?

[Syterion]

This is just a thread to talk about your favorite band and WHY. I'll start.

Band: Radiohead
Genre: Alternative Rock
Album: Ok, Computer, The Bends
Description: BEST ROCK BAND PERIOD. The Bends and Ok, Computer are both completely classic. A great band at its peak, with an amazing sound.

Band: Rage Against the Machine
Genre: Alternative Rock
Album: Eponymous, The Battle of Los Angeles
Description: Gave birth to rap/rock. The rap is not usual fare filled with sex, drugs, and violence, but much more meaningful. Great guitar sounds, and the vocals perfectlty match the music.

Band: Ben Folds Five(not Ben Folds)
Genre: Alt. Rock
Album: Ben Folds Five
Description: Great, original sound. Cannot be matched anywhere.

These are just some of my main fovrites. I listen a lot more music, but these are the pride of my collection, Besides Jimi Hendrix's Smash Hits.

HMm... Toughie. I love No Doubt as well (if I could get their new Greatest Hits CD I'd have a very merry christmas! *hint, hint*), OutKast is sooo cool, matchbox twenty is great and I love the guitar solos. And Rob Thomas is hot.

Believe it or not, I also enjoy some classical music. I play classical guitar, some piano, and I'm going to start learning the violin this week.

That's just In my not so humble opinion (IMNSHO)

 

[luiz]

Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, The Who, Pink Floyd...they're all really good

Of the recent stuff, I find White Stripes to be pretty good.
