What are your favorite groups or artists? Some bands deserve more attention than they are given! List your favorite bands and song reccomendations!

I loooooooove music and I think people are so interesting. I have this obsession with connecting with every underground subculture in the world. I want to know the story behind every person and what they believe and what they think. You guys might not know what "Riot Grrrl" or "Psychobilly" is, but check it out! You might like that kind of music! And if not, at least you can say you know what it is. I've learned alot already, but it never hurts to share your knowledge!

The coolest thing I've ever done was go to a Gothic club (Perversion @ The Ruby) in LA with my friends. I learned so much about their subculture that night, it was like brain overload! Gothic kids are very misunderstood...

Well, I must admit that apart from Ministry and Project Pitchfork, I don't know the other bands you mentionned! In France we don't have all those artists you have in America, some are just not imported and it's certainly a shame for some of them.

For me there's a Swedish band that have to be known (my boyfriend discover them thanks to some metal forums): Manegarm. They do some really good stuff, loud metal songs and beautiful celtic balads as well. Check their website: http://www.manegarm.com/

Tiger Army are one of my favourite bands ever. And Mad Sin are Sick! I love them!

Oh, I had to edit this - my boy is looming over my shoulder asking why I didn't include his band. So, Hollywood $uicide are a very good band indeed lol.

Trivium, Killswitch Engage, In Flames, Opeth, NIN, Korn before "Untouchables" , Nightwish, Sepultura, Disturbed, Iced Earth, No Use For A Name, Green Day, Otep, Kittie... the list goes on and on. You see, I have different styles of music on my playlist - some are punk, others more metal, some HxC...

Unfortunately some people seem to be more into labeling bands than actually the music. I never understood why you gotta spit on a kid with a shirt of a punk band just because he's at a concert of a band that someone labeld Death/Black Metal ...*sigh* wheter you're 40 year old and into metal since you've been 20 or a 12 year old at his/her first concert, it really does not matter to me as long as you really love the music (at least, for me)
