[Jansar]

Top Five Bands:
5. Pink Floyd
4. Oasis
3. Nirvana
2. Led Zeppelin
1. Smashing Pumpkins

Top Five Songs:
5. Baby Let's Rock - Zwan
4. Over the Hills and Far Away - Led Zeppelin

2. Wonderwall - Oasis
1. 1979 - Smashing Pumpkins

I've been a Billy Corgan fan since the beginning, and even after SP's breakup I still play their music on the guitar for fun. Led Zeppelin represents the best of the '70s era rock music, and Jimmy Page is the best guitarist, and (second to Corgan) the best rock music songwriter of all time. For the others, I've always enjoyed both of the British bands Oasis and Pink Floyd.

[Tantrum]

Justin Timberlake : Why? because he's awsome, hot, sexy, my husband, talented, a great dancer...i could go on, but i should be studying...

Christina Aguilera: Why? because she's sexy, a great singer and dancer, and i honestly look up to her, like she doesn't take crap from anyone's criticism, and is "the woman" in my eyes...oh and we share the same last name

and i like all the songs...yup

[chalk_outline]

1.. Screeching Weasel
2.. Fifteen

4.. The Mars Volta
5.. The Weakerthans

[MindFad]

Chalk Outline. I saw the named and wouldn't have doubted you'd have The Mars Volta in your list.

[Chris O'Brien]

Pink Floyd (hence my name - 'I've got a little black book with my poems in, I've got a bag with a toothbrush and a comb in' - although the reason I like the Black Book thing is because of the guy yelling it it at the beginning of the song...)

Oh, and Led Zeppelin - Just wish 'Ramble On' would go a little bit further in the chorus.

[D. Hendrickson]

i've been a huge AC/DC and Elton John fan since about '77, but in the last 10 years i've really gotten into Vangelis and Mike Oldfield.

[ShortcutToMoncton]

1. I Mother Earth � Shortcut To Moncton
7 minutes and 56 seconds of pure musical bliss. Among the best hard/prog rock bands in the world, and no one even knows it. Mmmm.

2. Neil Young � Out on the Weekend
Harvest is one of the greatest albums of all time. A more laid-back, melodic song is almost impossible to find.

3. Nirvana � Jesus Don't Want Me For a Sunbeam
The greatest rock band since the Beatles, I think I can honestly say. Nevermind changed the face of modern music. Cobain wrote the perfect furious pop song...but then they could also cover beautiful works like this as well.

3. Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here.
Can't say too much more about their Meddle to The Wall period. 4 albums that all can rank in the top works ever in music.

4. Marvin Gaye - Let's Get It On
Nick Hornby said it all. The perfect pop song, and the same-titled album (along with What's Going On) also rating as some of the best Motown/soul works ever laid down.

5. Jeff Buckley - Lover, You Should Have Come Over
Grace remains as one of the most brilliantly surprising albums of the 90s, along with My Bloody Valentine's Loveless. A soaring voice above beautiful guitar and challenging song structure. This (along with his Last Goodbye, Lilac Wine, and Everyone Here Wants You) belongs in the top sexiest songs catagory.

Honourable Mention: Brant Bjork � I Miss My Chick
Drummer for stoner-rock legends Kyuss on early releases, and then also Fu Manchu. Drummer for the legendary Desert Sessions with Josh Homme, and then left to do his own thing when Queens of the Stone Age were being born. 3 solid albums (Jalamanta, Brant Bjork and the Operators, and Keep Your Cool), in between drumming and touring for Mondo Generator. The ultimate in total attitude �ock-rock.

I like Bjork and Sigur Ros, too. They just aren't my favourites.

[SOLIDAge]

although the order changes daily, the list usually stays the same of my favs... for today? i'll go with..

1 Oasis
2 The Smashing Pumpkins
3 The Raveontettes
4 Nada Surf
5 Zwan

[memento]

Not in any specific order:

Godsmack - GREAT heavy music that is still melodic. I love his voice.

Rush - If I have to explain this, you don't need to know.

Skyclad - only when Martin Walkyier was with them. He is the ultimate! There are few lyricists that can even come close to him and I love his powerful voice. He has more passion in his pinkie toenail than most other singers wish they had.

The Gathering - kind of atmospheric rock from The Netherlands. Another awesome singer. This girl just blows me away. As far and having a "singing voice" I've never heard anyone who can come close.

Trans-Siberian Orchestra - What was Savatage to do after the unbelievable Dead Winter Dead? TSO, that's what. A natural evolution for them, and the ultimate concept with unbelievable execution. Deep concept albums with well written orchestra/classical and heavy metal. One of the best concerts I've ever been to. With Beethoven's Last Night, they've moved away from Christmas music. Very dark.

[MindFad]

Insecure Boner is banned, but I'll try again:

It's hard to pick just one�but I'll try and pick a favorite song after each artists. Or ... favorites.

Radiohead
All albums are great. IMHO, so shut up about everything after "OK Computer." As for songs: tough call between "Subterranean Homesick Alien" and "Paranoid Android." Hmmph.

Pink Floyd
Damn. All of the albums and songs are amazing. "Dark Side of the Moon" is probably my favorite album, though.

Tool
All great albums, but I like "Lateralus" most.

Shiner
Hmm. Tough call between "The Egg" and "Starless," but I'm going to have to go with "The Egg."

Muse
I've listened to "Showbiz" for ages, but after finally getting "Absolution" ... wow. Gud werk.

The Mars Volta
I don't think I need to say anymore. They are a breath of fresh air, IMO. "Eria Tarka" and "Take the Veil Cerpin Taxt" are my favs from the album. I look forward to more Volta albums. I'll check out all of the At The Drive-In stuff in the meantime (finally).

[iSilver]

Lemon Jelly
Chemical Brothers
Peaches
Gotan Project
Jeff Lang

[ASIMO]

Lots of good shiite, here. Some new, some old. Keep it up, gentlemen.

[Chris O'Brien]

MindFad, ever heard the bit on Great Gig In The Sky about 3 and a half minutes into it where some guy whispers "if you can hear this little whisper, you're dying"?

Very weird when you first hear it...

[variable06]

Favorite Artists (in order)
1. Elton John
2. The Beatles
3. Marvin Gaye
4. Billy Joel
5. The Eagles

Favorite Songs (once again in order)
1. Tiny Dancer - Elton John
2. Scenes From An Italian Restaurant - Billy Joel
3. Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters - Elton John
4. Late For The Sky - Jackson Browne
5. Daniel - Elton John

I love Elton's and Billy Joel's stuff since I play piano as well and really enjoy the songs that are based on piano work, but Elton's stuff moreso since I've been listening to it since I was little.

[ShortcutToMoncton]

The Mars Volta
I don't think I need to say anymore. They are a breath of fresh air, IMO. "Eria Tarka" and "Take the Veil Cerpin Taxt" are my favs from the album. I look forward to more Volta albums. I'll check out all of the At The Drive-In stuff in the meantime (finally).

De-loused in the Camatorium was...disappointing. Brilliant? Yes, of course, in places. Televators is a true work of art, among others. They have flair, they have panache, they have Jon Theodore for a monster on the drum kit.

However, they lack something. That's songwriting. They simply do NOT consistently write good songs! Much like the Tremulant EP, they show the hit-and-miss boundries of what they're doing. Now Sparta, which consists of the remainding members of At the Drive-In, are almost the opposite � listen to Wiretap Scars! Great songwriting, to be sure; however, you don't find the creativity or inventiveness that's so apparent on De-loused. As I've said before, if you put them together....

MindFad, ever heard the bit on Great Gig In The Sky about 3 and a half minutes into it where some guy whispers "if you can hear this little whisper, you're dying"?

Someone told me about this a few years ago, and I've listened to it many times since then. I don't hear it. Get a good set of headphones; the first part is sort of obscured, but it definitely doesn't sound anything like "if you can hear this." It's not long enough. I don't know...maybe I'm wrong.

Not sure if you remember or not, but a while ago you suggested this song to me, and I really like it. Once it played randomly in iTunes a few times I really started liking it. Thanks.

Yes! I do remember. Good to know you're still diggin' it! Actually, I had meant to send you the last song off their same CD, Scenery & Fish. It's called "Earth, Sky & C" with the "C" being their little tribute to Carlos Santana (Jag, the guitarist, has a sound that's kinda like combining Santana and Rush's Alex Lifeson). Anyway, do a search for it...if you come up short, let me know and I'll get it to you. 7 minutes long, wailing guitar solos, and a little touch of Latin funk!

I'd highly recommend eBaying any of their 4 CDs. Every one has its own distinctive style and sound, and every one has some of the best musicianship and creativity in the world.
