Favorite Bands.

[Corvs Queen]

So, what bands (BANDS, not singers or groups who don't play their own music) do you like as most you know here I adore the Smashing Pumpkins. I also really like the Cure, The Dandy Warhols, The Editors, Jimmy Chamberlin Complex, Kings of Leon, The Beatles, Pete Yorn. And I do consider Pete Yorn a band because on a lot of his work he has played all the instruments. So talented. Same with Billy Corgan. Right now I am in a rotation between The Smashing Pumpkins (always in with me), The Dandy Warhols and The Editors. So I ask you, what's your favorite bands. What are you especially into now. I SO LOVE MUSIC!!!!

 

[MxAxC-_ATTACK]

Oh I loved the smashing pumpkins back in the day, I was probably 13 or so ( 12 years ago, yikes!) but I stopped listening to them so I cant count them

Lost Prophets is probably my current most listened to band.

 

[Corvs Queen]

Shock! How could anyone stop listening to the Pumpkins? I admit that I super fond of Siamese Dream but I love a lot of the Zeitgeist stuff to. I can't get enough of Bleeding the Orchid and Gossamer. Love em!

[Corvs Queen]

I love Nine Inch Nails and Weezer too. I just got Weezer's Red Album. I like Everybody Gets Dangerous a lot. While the Red album is good, the blue album is hard to beat in my opinion. Oh and Pinkerton was great also. But Hash Pipe. What a joke of a song. I could have written that in 3 minutes. So not cool of Rivers in my opinion.

I really like Weezer a lot too! I am so excited for their new album. I heard that they are going to do a small club tour before they go on an arena tour just to jam out with their fans. That would be a lot of fun to go to. I agree that the blue album is their best.

I am also excited for the Coldplay album but I have heard that it is not that good.

 

[Zantedge]

Borknagar
Kalmah
Finntroll
Pantera
Rolling Stones
Rage Against The Machine
Amon Amarth
Hypocrisy
Rammstein
Dark Tranquility
Mando Diao

There's a lot more too, but those are my favourites (of bands anyway). Mostly metal and rock. I really like techno too.

I really don't like their new single "Violet Hill". While it's a pleasant sounding song it's not really a departure from previous Coldplay. I think that they could have done much better.

 

[HeavenLeiBlu]

Can you believe w/that long list up there that I actually forgot someone? LMAO

Well, I did, and I remembered because my ipod is on random and one of their songs just popped up.


TORTURED SOUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They are the greatest (and possibly only?) house music band. I dunno how Christian Ulrich can play the drums so furiously and perfectly while he's singing with that swet, sweet voice. I just saw them live , when, last month or so? I dunno how I forgot about them. I suck as a fan, for leaving them off the list.

 

[Corvs Queen]

Adding Arcade Fire, Led Zeppelin, New Order, Placebo, Queens of the Stone Age, Radiohead, The Toadies, U2, The White Stripes, Wir Sind Helden, and Zwan.

And speaking of sweet, sweet voices. I have a huge crush on Tom Smith's voice. Plus he's easy on the eyes so that never hurts.

 

[coachkitten]

Geezz...I keep thinking of other bands that I love. This is such a fun thread and I really enjoying finding new bands/music to listen to. I love the White Stripes and the Raconteurs. I think that Josh Homme from Queens of the Stone Age is so gorgeou!

 

[Corvs Queen]

I tend to find Musicians my "type" even if they all have varying looks from each other. I could never imagine a life without music. I owe the Pumpkins so much because I actually met my husband on the old Billy-Corgan.com forum. And speaking of the Raconteurs, I just love the vest that Jack is wearing in their new video.

 

[HeavenLeiBlu]

Arrrrgh, I forgot about Radiohead and the White Stripes, too!

 

[rbella]

Franz Ferdinand
Prodigy
Journey (don't hate, you know you love them)
Modest Mouse
The Killers
The Fixx (don't hate, you know you love them-Saved by Zero? Come on!!!)
