Faviourite 5 bands/singers ever and why?

[doggies1954]

1. Red Hot Chili Peppers
Californiacation is quite p[ossible my fav album of all time, by the way is very good and bloody sugar sex magik, well i think u all know.
Not only do they have godd albums but other, non album tracks are great aswell, fortune faded, soul to squeeze.

2. The Living End
First album has same very good songs such as prisioner of society, all torn down, bloody monday and save the day.
Roll on was a little disappointing but still had Roll on, picturs in the mirror, riot on broadway ands Uncle harry very good.
Modern Artillery hs same vber good songs, the room is good, in the end, who's gonna save us and the end of the world are all quite good.

3. Pearl Jam
ALthough Ten came out before my time i grew with all my older brother listening to there stuff, latest stuff has been disappointing but still good.
Even Flow, Alive, Jeremy, Daughter, Betterman are all very very good songs. I also like uite a few songs of Yield.

4. Oasis
What the story morning glory is one of the best albums of all time but the title track, wonderwall, champagne supernova and she's electic my fav songs.

5. Incubus
Just started really listening to them lately but Morning view and make yourself are quality albums.
A corw left of the muder whil it hasn't got the very good songs such as drive, pardon me and nice to know you and a certain shade of green from there other studio albums it has enough good songs to be able to listen straight through without the temptaion of skipping a track.

5. (again) Live
THrowing copper is a very good album, secrret samadi has Lakinis juice and rattlesnake, distnace to hear is very good and even birds of pray is very good.
Aplogises to:
SOmethig for kate, powderfinger, metallica, green day, smashin pumpkins and speciafically live

music

Two words......Mike Patton

whatever he touches turns to gold

 

[TheWackedYak]

in no particular order...

Soundgarden
Bad Religion
Public Enemy
Faith No More
Sepultura

Reasons: Cornell and Patton just have killer voices, PE and BR are both very cerebral and their lyrics strike a chord with me and someone got me onto Sepultura about 10 or 11 years ago and the aggression just gets me...that's about it really.

great list there Freo Big Fella.... I have 85% of the above mentioned. Ever heard of Carlton Hendrix ? Darky may know

 

[skylark18]

How can I list just 5???? ok here goes..............


1. Heart. Can rock up a storm , can make you cry with a ballad...........AND , has the greatest female rock singer PERIOD!!!! Have ALL of their cd's. Just a pity they have never been out here

2. Van Halen (pre hagar). Great rock band , great frontman , great guitarist.......what else does there have to be??? Have about 5 of their cd's , actually saw them in concert in 1982.....BLOODY ROCKED!!!!

3. Bruce Springsteen & the E Street band. Probably the best songwriter since Dylan. Any band with a sax rocks. Have ALL of their cd's plus the live in Barcelona DVD. Have seen them play 3 times live , best live show ive ever seen.

4. The Cure. A gem of a band from the UK.Very odd , but have their own style which I love. Have about 7 of their cd's.

5. Southside Johnny & the Astbury Jukes. Yes I know you've never heard of them , but they are very similar to Springsteens band. Have the added attraction of a whole horn section instead of one sax. Fairly good songwriter , although he has had Bruce write stuff for him. Have 5 of their cd's.


Apologies to the following: Concrete Blonde , Guns n Roses , Foreigner , and many others.

2. Stone Temple Pilots - Sensational sound, This band just gelled as an outfit. If Scott Weiland could have sorted himself out, this band could have been anything.

yep i must admit i've always been a STP & Weiland fan...hopefully he can get himself together enough to tour here with VR soon.

 

[chimps_ahoy]

bands

too many.....
faith no more, stp, jon spencer blues explosion, rolling stones, early U2, fantomas, nirvana, pavement, nine inch nails - especially the downward spiral, mr.bungle, melvins, butthole surfers, ween, janes addiction, metallica - albums from and justice for all & earlier...etc....etc..

 

[SaintsSupporter]

1. Metallica - Hetfield/Ulrich/Hammett + Burton/Newsted/Trujillo = elite.
2. Megadeth - Because 1) Each song is different and interesting in it's own way, and 2) Dave Mustaine used to be in metallica
3. Iced Earth - Great all round, awesome guitar, compelling lyrics and vocals, as well as drumming.

Don't know about 4th or 5th.

That a great backhanded compliment to David Lee Roth !!

Sammy Hagar isn't a slouch either and I've seen them both!!
No place for the faint hearted who don't know how to have the BEST TIME !
