cheech44 Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Mine is the Grateful Dead. I won't bother to try and defend it - it'd take too long, but a friend said to me, "you basically like the guys that are the absolute best on their instruments (i.e. RUSH), and the guys that are the absolute worst." I disagree, but I see what he was saying. Anyway, I thought'd make an interesting thread to see if others have such disparate tastes ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drbirdsong Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 There are so many good ones to choose from. Right now I am going through the Yes catalog and they would have to be my current other favorite, but when I finish those there are many other great bands out there.

ColdFireYYZ Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Porcupine Tree is my favorite band of all time along with Rush of course. I like tons of other bands though - Dream Theater, Yes, Joe Bonamassa, Opeth, Marillion, and more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New World Kid Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Porcupine Tree is a very close second to Rush. In distant third is Guillemots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. The Cure. I get where people have come from so far with so many Yes, Genesis, Porcupine Tree answers, but I'm all about The Cure for the number two spot. It's not the most disparate answer someone could give (any polka fans out there? Boy bands? A-cappella?) but it's pretty different than Rush.

RushFanForever Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 The Canadian prog rock band FM. The song has a 'Subdivisions' vibe to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sco703 Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 (edited) My fav band is Pink Floyd, closely followed by Billy Joel, and then Mastodon. Edited September 24, 2011 by sco703 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although Wild Mood swings is abit of a stinker. It wasn't great, that's for sure. Waaaay too much brass on it. Upbeat or uptempo is fine for them (In Between Days, Push, How Beautiful You Are), I don't think everything has to be a dirge, but when they do a peppy track with a ton of bright brass, that makes me cringe a little.

Unattractive Truth Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Porcupine Tree, Pink Floyd, U2 QUOTE (danielmclark @ Sep 23 2011, 11:17 PM) The Cure.

It's not the most disparate answer someone could give (any polka fans out there? Boy bands? A-cappella?) but it's pretty different than Rush. I like The Cure a lot too. Disintegration is one of the Ten Best Albums of All-Time. It is absolutely brilliant, and devastating. And Show is one of my favorite live albums ever.

circumstantial tree Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 (edited) If I had to pick just one, right now I'd say Yes. Off topic, regarding the Cure, I still like them, but I'm not often in the mood to play any of their music. Oh yeah, "Wild Mood Swings" was disappointing. One song has a Mexican feel to it, oddly enough. I prefer Siouxsie and the Banshees over the Cure, who I think are their counterparts. These days, I tend to listen to the overall lesser known bands that may have had just a hit single. The Dream Academy were a pop band but I listen to their music quite often. Two of their albums were produced by David Gilmour. Edited September 24, 2011 by circumstantial tree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
