mastrmindalliance Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 Hi, I search for this, but only found a thread for 'what type of music you prefer’? So rather than wonder what genre you like, I'm wondering what your all time favourite band is? I listened to nothing else but Metallica for about 4 years when I was 18-22. But now, without doubt ,my all time favourite band is Rancid. (Socal ska punk). What's yours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By-Tor Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 For me this goes without saying. But when I was a kid it was Led Zeppelin. IV and Houses of the Holy are probably my most listened albums of all time. Then it was Pink Floyd, Yes and King Crimson. When I was about 20 I discovered Rush (which is kind of a mix between those). I listen to all kinds of music though... but progressive rock is my main thing. I also like Dave Matthews Band a lot, which is completely different. I appreciate their talent and musicianship. Although it's only their live albums which do it for me... they're MUCH better and more powerful than their sterile studio work, and Dave Matthews solo material is cheesy crap.

mastrmindalliance Posted May 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 Ok, I realise now picking just one fave is too constricting, so how about listing your top three, five or even 10 and a brief description? Sound ok? Music is like my second love and I'm always open to new tunes, which is why I want to hear yours. I like just about anything from soul to metal, underground disco to ska and everything in between (except deathmetal and country). Here's mine: Rancid; old school style but modern ska punk Dance Hall Crashers: Dual harmonising vocals. The best example of 'third wave' ska Distillers; female punk (really good and HOT singer - check em out) Skulker; dual female vocals. Australian indie intellectual pop rock Early Midnight Oil; shouldn't need any introduction. Notable mentions; Corrosion of Conformity, the band Metallica should have become post the black album. And Suicidal Tendencies - the best band never to make it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valerian Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 Hmmm, I'm sort of outta line here. My favourite band of all times must be The Bill Evans Trio of 1959 - 1961. Bill Evans (p) Scott La Faro (b ) Paul Motian (d) Val. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Evans (p) Scott La Faro (b ) Paul Motian (d) Val. Nice .. Although for some More bebop myself Charlie Parker, dizzy and ella.... Bill evans is awesome although all of my favorite tracks he does have an undeniable Miles Davis touch to them.. i.e. Flamenco Sketches (he collaborated i think), Nardis (he has his own trio version) You into any newer jazz artists val?? @others: Am I the only Hendrix Head on this forum??

By-Tor Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 The Who is one of my all time favorites. However I don't bother with their studio albums that much anymore... the live stuff is much better. Live at Leeds is a classic of course but "Join Together" live from 1989 is my favorite. It has a big band along with the The Who and they play Tommy in its entity. Simon Phillips was much better drummer choice than Kenney Jones (who was average at best). I have the video too... watching Enwistle is always a treat.

Agrippa Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 Not all bands, but that's ok I hope. Anyway, not an exhaustive list, but some favourites: Jehtro Tull (no intro needed I assume) Billie Holiday (ditto) Tom Waits (ditto) David Bowie (ditto) Claudio Monteverdi (Italian composer, gambist, and singer. 1567-1643) John Dowland (English composer, singer, and lutenist. 1563 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
