ReRushed Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 This is impossible for me to answer. Anything I post is immediately not immutable! First off, I will not bother to mention the Beatles or Rush. The Beatles are immutable in my number one position and Rush, well, they are the reason I'm apart of this internet community. Both bands are in and of themselves, separate and special. Okay, five bands: R.E.M. Wire Neil Young & Crazy Horse XTC King Crimson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bathory Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Confession: I wonder if sometimes people list bands in these types of threads that they think will show others how eclectic and varied their musical taste is. Some of these bands are among your 5, favorite acts? :) The BeatlesThe Rolling StonesVan Halen (the Roth era)Black Sabbath (the Ozzy and Dio eras)Rush it's possible that some of us might have 5 favorite bands that don't all get played on the same radio station :D although I'll admit when someone's list has madonna and megadeth on it or something, it's hard to think that person is being 100% sincere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think sometimes "favorite" loses its meaning the way "underrated" does on message boards. I love Harry Connick, Jr.'s music, and his show on the Come By Me tour is the best concert I've ever seen. Def Leppard's Pyromania is one of my 5 favorite studio albums ever. I own, and love, all of Soundgarden's albums. None of them are on my top 5 list. Rush is on my list because they can release something like Hold Your Fire and I can still find something I like about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since I seldom post any messages of substance, I'd say at least 17,000 of my likes are attributable to those Yes/Tull posts.

Rod in Toronto Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 It's good. We watched it yesterday, and although the last 10-15 minutes drag a little bit, I really liked it. The "joke inside the joke" of the movie is that Maggie Gylenhaal is in the band...she always struck me as someone who tries way too hard to make the most alternative/pretentious movies, much like the band's compositions.

Segue Myles Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 OK...this isn't a list of my five current most enjoyed bands, rather, a list of the bands that are indisputably my all time most admired and most impactful: 1. ABBA2. Lacuna Coil3. Nightwish4. Bruce Springsteen5. Rush In order of discovery, not favourites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rutlefan Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 At any given moment the five bands I currently favor most might change, but the five bands which have meant more to me than any others over the years are The Beatles, Wire, Radiohead, Rush and Led Zeppelin. The bands that are right behind these, and on another day I might have included in place of either Rush or Zeppelin (Beatles, Wire and Radiohead are set in stone) would be The Jazz Butcher Conspiracy, The Wedding Present/Cinerama, or The Church (still going strong). Hard to displace Rush or Zeppelin but these come close. Then of course are the twenty or so bands I really really love, but that's a different question.
