Conquer Club

Basically a thread to post your favorite band, and why you like them.

My favorite band changes so often, but right now it's System of a Down, I love there ability with the guitar especially is B.Y.O.B, and the vocals are pretty solid too.

used to change a lot but hasn't in a while: Nightwish

They're in my Sig.

This is my first forum post

Firstly, Pink Floyd is my favourite band.

Secondly, i'd prefer the Avatars and player info on the left of screen, not on the right.
It's the English way.

Well were going Japenese Manga style.

Not sure but I prefer the comedy style bands more, wouldn't say I had a favourite

i've been listening to a hell of a lot of Muse lately. (the Rhodes on Butterflies and Hurricanes is so beautiful and perfect)

i go through phases.

and hey, i have a "theory" -- anyone else notice how the best British 'art rock' bands start out sounding like a great band before them?

Pink Floyd started out sounding like the Beatles, Radiohead started out sounding like Pink Floyd, and Muse started out sounding like Radiohead.

(this theory doesn't really apply to post-punk)

Muse, Pink Floyd, and the Sex Pistols. Because they're good bands.

and they never sold out man. fucking never sold out. deserve major props for that for all of history.

just like Fugazi. stayed true.

Serbia, you beat me to it. You are one of my people. PEARL JAM. Listen to "Release", the last track on "Ten", and tell me Vedder doesn't have the most emotional voice rock has ever seen. I've heard that song compared to a "rock-Pavarotti" for its beauty. A million reasons that they are without a doubt the best....

i liked Vedder's solo work on the soundtrack for Into the Wild. Pearl Jam fans should not sleep on it.

of all the lead singers from seminal bands from the nineties to release solo albums, on Eddie Vedder and Chris Cornell stand out as releasing quality solo efforts.

the same cannot be said for Thom Yorke or Billy Corgan

Hard to say. Probably... The Magnetic Fields.

Used to be SOAD til I die but now I think I'm changing to Radiohead.

That's an interesting connection but I can't think of how Radiohead sounded at all like Floyd.
Muse used to sound a lot like Radiohead... Of course Radiohead is more talented but I think Matthew Bellamy is a better singer than Thom Yorke. My favorite thing about Radiohead is actually how long they've been playing; 7 unique albums show such an awesome growth and diversity that the average 2-4 album band can't match up to.

Or Serj Tankian.

Funeral for a friend/MCR/Aiden/A7X

SEVENFOLD SEVENFOLD SEVENFOLD SEVENFOLD SEVENFOLD SEVENFOLD!

Befoere SOAD I was really in to Shinedown, a nd everyone of there albums still lies in my Ipod.

Shinedown is a good band.

Metallica, Judas Priest <3

Usually I listen to several different music genres actually

probably not the right time to bring this up serbia, but in 1000 more posts you'll have the quadruple 6. the number of chuck norris.

The Smiths.

How can you not love a band who wrote a song called:

"Stop Me If You Think You've Heard This One Before"

AC/DC or Ozzy??? Hard to decide which one I like best.

Good bands, not my favorite, but good nonetheless.

As for my 2nd favorite, Chris LeDoux & the Saddle Boogie Band.

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not, Sex Pistols never selling out? Maybe technically true because they were never 'keeping it real' in the first place, but whatever really.

Jimi Hendrix Experience
AC/DC
Zeppelin
The Who
Steve Miller Band
Arctic Monkeys
Ramones
Van Halen
ZZ Top
White Stripes

Yeah, I have lots of favorite bands, but if I had to pick one, it would prob be Jimi hendrix.
