Here’s mine… I found out alot of the groups I used to REALLY like alot I don’t like as much anymore… I like em still, but I cant take em as much… like Sonic Youth and The Pixies.
- beatles
- queen
- smashing pumpkins
- rem
- U2
etc
The Beatles, The Cranberries, Rage Against The Machine, Sex Pistols, Tool (not in order of preference).
Judas Priest
Linkin Park
Disturbed
Foo Fighters
Tesla
–Dave
In no particular order…
Massive Attack
Queen
Radiohead
Oasis
AC/DC
PS: Vicodin is the best thing ever. EVER.
-
Game Theory–Any band that was influenced in equal parts by THE WHITE ALBUM, The Cars, Roxy Music…and TS Eliot and James Joyce is all right by me.
-
The Grifters–Slacker Indie Rock was just the jumping-off point, these Memphis goofballs easily played Rolling Stones to Pavement’s Beatles in the 1990’s.
-
The Small Faces–Combine brilliant songwriting, inspired playing, and the best white soul singer in history and for three years or so, the Small Faces were simply the greatest band in history. They outrocked The Who and The Stones, they out-souled everyone except maybe some of the folks at Stax, and managed to somehow reach across thirty years of time to be a huge influence on modern Britpop in the past decade.
-
Rolling Stones–Duh.
-
The Beatles–double duh.
Gah… Rock?
the genre that means everything and nothing?
pfeh.
When rammstein and paul mccartney are in the same genre somebody has problems.
Rush (although their last album sucked)
Megadeth
ZZ Top (their Austin concert last month ROCKED!)
The Beatles
Yes
Industry Dwarf
Linkin Park
Radiohead
Pink Floyd
Coldplay
Tool
- The Pixies
- The Beatles
- Bob Dylan
- Pink Floyd
- Big Black
- Tool. 3 1/2 great albums that are consistently excellent with few bad cuts in the bunch. Plus, Maynard helped to spawn Perfect Circle.
Then there’s the rest which would take much longer to rank. Ask me again later to day.
Midnight Oil
Dire Straits
Beatles
REM
U2
In no particular order.
- Rush – Their latest album was the great.
- Everything else.
– Xaroc
Rock, are you sure.?
My list - Senser, Rage against the Machine, Queen, The Reverend Orton Heat, Jane’s Addiction, and one for luck - Grant Lee Buffalo.
Rainer Maria
Moby
PJ Harvey
Sleater-Kinney
Bonfire Madigan
I’ll just add that I’m continually astonished at how many of my fellow Gen X’ers and younger embrace the putrefying corpse of boomer youth culture (no offense to the boomer’s out there)
Are you a lesbian by chance?
Everyone else listed some of my very favorites, so here’s five that haven’t been listed but may not quite reach upper-echelon level:
Metallica (yes, even after the embarrassment that is St. Anger)
Fear Factory
White Zombie
Stone Temple Pilots
Ministry
I considered Ministry and Thrill Kill Kult, but they arent my top 5
Pink Floyd
Devin Townsend
Peter Gabriel
Skinny Puppy
KMFDM
In no particular order…
Linkin Park
Kottenmouth Kings
Evanessence (it said “as of today”. Really digging the album right now)
Tool
The Urge
Honorable mention to 2 Skinny J’s, who don’t fit into the rock genre but are in heavy play rotation right now in our household.
Iron Maiden
Jimi Hendrix
In Flames
Annihilator
Testament
:twisted:
