Favourite Music Artist?

[GavX]

Just a general question, not overly sure exactly who is into who (though I am guessing Neil aka "Muse" might be into muse). So what would you say are your top 5 favorite bands at the moment?
For myself it is going to be:

Dream Theater; fantastic Prog Metal/Rock with some really interesting songs
Sonic Mayhem; They do alot of game soundtracks like Quake and really hit the nail on theh head with it I think.
Disturbed; A good heavy metal band I think, but not everyones cup o' tea
Pendulum; because deep down inside, everybody loves Drum and Bass
Joe Satriani; great guitar player, alot of genres covered (though mostly rock) and extremely cool guitar playing.

So whats your favorite bands to listen to?

[Asurya]

I can listen to anything really, except boy bands. Top of list would be Metallica though.

Blues/classic rock FTW

Favourite artists probably Eric Clapton (mostly his 'true blues' inc. work with John Mayall) and Rory Gallagher.

Is Joe Satriani not originally trianed in the blues genre? Ive just started listening to him so im not sure.

Id say

Iron Maiden
Megadeth [Who is metallica haha]
Johnny Cash
Judas Priest
Disturbed are pretty good so ill just stick them here for the lolz haha

80's Metal infuenced as you can see

[GavX]

His music is very blue-sy, mixed with a bit of rock/metal (which came frmo blues anyway afaik). Megadeth are good, just listened to Holy Wars, which I think is there best

[PaleKing]

Plastikman/Richie Hawtin - for deep, sophisticated, minimalist, subtle techno.
Alabama 3 - for bluesy, funky, ironic, dark tunes.
The Pixies - because not many people bought their records, but everyone who did started a band.
Carter the Unstoppable Sex Machine - clever, angry, politically sharp lyrics and punchy tunes.
Johnny Cash - a legend.
Felix Da House Cat - funky, glitzy, catchy house.
Green Velvet - deep, hard, scary techno
Stone Roses - because their first album was so sublime from start to finish.

[GavX]

another good band, but a pain to find, is "Live". God mellow music, light rock. I recommend "Pain Lies on the Riverside" as a sample, its my fave and to most peoples tastes

[chrish]

At the moment, I'd say.

The Foo Fighters
The Pixies
The Smiths
The Cocteau Twins
Tool

But it changes from one day to the next!

MOTORHEAD

Metallica have a new album just round the corner, lets hope they dont butcher it like St Anger

[John C]

Aye, bet its pish. Face it dude, Metallica suck.

[GavX]

its not as good as early tallica but its better than St Anger. The songs do grow on you, and it is good to see the return on theh classic metallica "dueling guitar" sound, though their song this time around is a bit different. Eitherway I will get theh new album, I have most except St Anger

[GavX]

Decided that "Apocalyptica" are awesome

they cover metallica music and some other bands but Cello's, the fact someone is playing the "One" solo from metallica on a cello I can't even nail that on a guitar, I imagine a Cello is a damn sight harder, you can't tap for starters...
