Recommended Posts

I can't even begin to come up with my alltime favorite bands, I go through periods where I am totally into any given band for a week or two. So I suppose based on these criteria I would come up with the following bands/artists: # of CD's, vinyl LP's and downloaded bootlegs concerts.

 

(in no particular order except for Rush)

 

Rush

Beatles

Metallica

Helloween

Judas Priest

Iron Maiden

Black Sabbath

April Wine

Triumph

Led Zep

Deep Purple

Aerosmith

AC/DC

Kiss

Bad Co.

Beach Boys

Blackfoot

BOC

Boston

The Cars

Cream

CCR

Def Lep (early)

Dokken

ELP

Elton John(early)

Clapton

Jeff Beck

Yardbirds

Fates Warning

Joe Satch

Eric Johnson

 

*whew* I could go on forever, you get the idea......basically tons of bands from the vinyl era (1964or 65 to about 1988 or 89 and also bands that are old school-ish from the last 20+years)

Anyway, I thought'd make an interesting thread to see if others have such disparate tastes ...

Yep.

 

The Cure.

Was listening to Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me this past week and...it really shows the musicianship of the band. Lots of technical jamming that doesn't show up in the Cure's pop stuff...miles away from Love Cats.

Amazing live band

The VS. tour was one of the best shows I've ever seen from any band. Another great live band are the Black Crows.

Oh gosh.

REO Speedwagon, Cheap Trick, and Queen are all pretty high on my list.

But I like this or that from a lot of different groups... everything from Lady Gaga to Black Eyed Peas to Cascada.

It's interesting because only Rush and The Beatles have stayed with me since I started listening to music. I go through periods where I like bands that fade. A few other bands that I really enjoy are The Sundays, Porcupine Tree, Silversun Pickups, and Death Cab for Cutie.

The other favourites are Iron Maiden, Yes, King Crimson, ELP, and U2. I also like bands such as Cream, Led Zeppelin, Beatles, Rolling Stones, Gentle Giant, Allman Brothers, and the list goes on (forever).

1. Rush (duh!)

2. LIVE

3. Also my number one favorite female artist is Joan Osborne. Yeah, I know what you're thinking: "Joan Osborne? WTF?" She's actually an extremely gifted singer. She's made a lot of great music since "One of Us" but unfortunately she gets no airplay and no support from her label.

4. Tenacious D. I know they're a comedy band but they've written some really good songs.

 

The rest are not in any particular order. For these bands I love some of their stuff and then there's some stuff that I don't like. Some of these bands have jumped the shark and I don't buy their new CDs anymore but I still enjoy the older stuff.

 

Adele (I love 21 but 19 is kind of boring.)

Dream Theater

Foo Fighters

Godsmack

Green Day

Iron Maiden

Metallica

Queensryche

Steve Vai

Steve Morse

The Church is a band I've liked for a long time. Them and Cold Chisel are two bands I gto into in Mexico of all places, back in '81-82, courtesy of an Aussie mate.

Now there's a band you don't hear referenced around here much. I love the Church. I have Starfish, Gold Afternoon Fix, and Priest = Aura.

I guess you may know that Joan is now in the band Trigger Hippy.

 

I'll most likely go see them if they come to town (or within a couple of hours of town if it's a Fri or Sat night).

 

The band has 3 members who I've seen live before: Steve Gorman, Audley Freed, and Jackie Green. I was very impressed with Green so I think the band will be pretty good.

I have to narrow it down to 2. I have a lot of bands I love, some very different than rush but dont feel like naming all of them. Have to support these 2 bands with vids.

 

LIVE - First of all, their name is ridiculously fitting, because they are probably the best live band I've ever seen. They just emit this crazy amount of energy when you saw them. Seeing them was just a powerful event. Very different than going to a Rush show. Look at that crowd at 1:45. And god that chorus at 2:45, gets my blood pressure up every time.

 

 

MARS VOLTA - Well their song writing really reminds me of old Rush, but they are a lot more adventurous. I dont know, just their style is very fluid, not so rigid like Rush was in their prog days so I feel like it has more energy. And they are also a fantastic live band.

 

Have to fast forward to like 2:20 to get to the song.
