What is your favorite band?


I will start: my favorite band is RUSH:) The band has been around since the early 70's. My entire group of Leopards all have names related to the band:cool:

That's tough. If I have to pick...my favorite of all time is Led Zeppelin, but Metallica changed my life.

We seem to be on the same wavelength here...

All time...Zeppelin, The Doors, Pink Floyd (The Wall and earlier)

Changed my life? Van Halen (Roth only), AC/DC and Metallica!

Got to admit...Cheap Trick, Ted Nugent and Guns 'N' Roses

Wow! I'm shocked to see that my all-time favorite has already been mentioned more than once! My musical taste changes from time to time, but when you specify favorite of "all time", there is only one answer - AC/DC.

I am also surprised that I have not seen one mention of a group that I can't stand. Maybe tortoise people just automatically have good taste in music?

Full disclosure, I have been listening to tons of country lately. It would have been humiliating to admit that at previous points in my life. :cool:

While I love all of the above, I have to say my all time favorite is The Cure. I could make a whole list of some of my favorites but the early Cure music pulled me through a lot of very dark childhood days. Honorable mention must also go to:
Siouxsie
Oingo Boingo
Depeche Mode
Fad Gadget
Metalica
AC/DC
Van Halen (also Diamond Dave era only)
Judas priest
Rush
Two Live Crew
Prince
Ozzy
Pet Shop Boys
Rolling Stones
Phil Collins
Ministry
Missing Persons
Berlin
Journey
and finally, Frank Sinatra.

While my favorite song pretty much changes monthly, I am always wanting to listen to fleetwood mac. Stevie Nicks has an awesome and timeless voice. She is more the music of my parent's generation but I do think the sounds is timeless.

OH SH*T! How could I have left out THE STONES! With the exception of Van Halen (I am a Pasadena boy afterall)...there is not a group I've seen more! The first time was at The Palladium in Hollywood...and I was not quite 11! But then I saw both shows in 1978 at Anaheim Stadium, both shows at The Coliseum in 1981 then all three shows in 1989 at The Coliseum...however, I must admit, I went to the 89 shows mostly to see GNR!


Hey Tom...I actually saw OINGO BOINGO prior to stardom at the Whiskey...with another unknown band...Tweed Sneakers!

Well, he's not a "band," but I just LOVE Willie Nelson. I have many of his CD's that I listen to while I'm working outside.
