Favorite bands and WHY

[Heal the World]

Blind Guardian- They corabine all sorts of old school metal, and a bit of blues too. They also sing about LOTR, which is why I got into them...

[Peaceandlove9092]

I strongly disagree, Ferrys swaggering vocals is part of what makes Roxy Music Roxy Music, i love the Eno era the most, but all of them are great musicians, and they helped keep it together even without Eno...You cant blame a band just for trying to go in a different direction, even if they became more pop, they still made some very strong albums.

Siren is a fantastic album, check it out if you havent heard it.

coheed and carabria( this has to be my fav band, they are blessed with amazing musical talents, all of them excpet having extensive musical backgrounRAB. if you love this band and wan to hear some crazy **** that claudio did with the orig name of the band and see what he was doing before coheed and laid off the drugs some, look up shabutie)

underoath( i love this band, they are hard, but ood vocals and songs you learn to love, whether you want to or not, they are definatly going places and i'll be there with them at every show that comes in the detroit area, fo sho)

COF( cradle is pretty amazing, i really did hate them the first time i heard them after seeing them i was out, but then i heard them for what they were, poetic and hard as hell, a definate fav these days, can't get enough)

from first to last( what can i say, i love many kinRAB and fftl is stylish vocals and good musical ability and nightmarish songs in general, a total reccomendation)

evanescence( amazing voice, metalish sound in the back ground, like nightwish, only more singable music)

atreyu(amazing vocals and presence, they totally blow me away with every new thing i hear from them)

as i lay dying( totally awesome metal, dark, screaming, and wants me want to see them live more than anyone else right now)

HIM( really dark, deep sound that i can't get nough of, i look past the flaraboyant sometimes irritatin image of the band, and just listen to the tunes, and it's all good)

say anything( i recently started to listening to this band, but they really are a unique revelant sound to me, i just makes me move my head and sing along with all the sings, and isn't that what music is supposed to do?)

ram jam( i mean black betty is one of the best views on the 70's as i can put it, it shows the ideas and styles of that era and makes me so pumped up when i hear it)

johnny cash( dude man in black, he was revolutionary, when asked i cannot give you sepcific reason i enjoy this man so much, he's just who he is, a legend)

kansas( along with boston they're just amazing "carry on my wayward son" brings tears to my eyes to be honest, only amazing music can really affect you like that.)

bob dylan( tho his singing was a bit irritating at times, he is classic and you have to put respect where it's do)

boston( they're classic more than a feeling makes me so happy and carefree and nostalgic of my younger years it's worth listening to it so loud that i i'm experiencing permanent hearing damage b/c of it)

korn(old **** only, they were really awesome when they first came onto the scene, but they are a we bit too commercial for me now, and like tim burton the ****ing ***goty goth kiRAB had to mess them up as well as some other banRAB i used to hold in high regard)

system of a down( they're insanly talented, different and they rock hard, i love them i had to buy toxcicity several times and it was bloody worth every damn time)

blink 182(yeah i said it this band was a huge part of life growing up in middle school seriously, they were everything to me then, them and system, they struck in a way that got me into music)

matisyahu( they're happy, hip hoppy reggae i like it, they also look like rabbis lol)

neil diamond( dude it's ****ing neil diamond, whats not to love, he started the feel good casino lounge singing, old women and i swoon to his melodic voice)

nightmare of you( you know personally why they're so sweet piper, you turned me onto them, new inventive, crazy lyrics and a great sound all togther)

throwdown( some of the best metal i've heard in a while, they're truly hard and get's you going, watch out if i'm in a crowded room and listening to this, there will be some moshing dammit)

terminal( all i thought when i heard these guys for the first time is "wow sundance here they come, so weird and independent movie feelish, but enjoyable)

smoking popes( amazing inventive and unique, what the who was in the 60's in my mind, tho indie and not my favs, they are pretty sweet)

[James S godzilla]

When did I say SX sound like DT? What I meant was they stole many ideas and concepts from them. They even admit it in tons of interviews.

[te quiero woo woo]

Ah so that completes the Urban 100 then.

[Mrs. Ashley♥]

:rofl:

yeah from all I've heard Symphony X are pretty good, but being a DT fan my taste sucks anyway, right?

[chazzychef]

Oh yeah, how could I forget Blind Guardian. They are very talented! And I love the lord of the rings song. Its silly.

[sMILEsmile]

I love Ferry`s vocals , I just hated the direction the band went into.

[cheetaking243]

Well...lets put it this way....Symphony X is all DT can ever dream to be....check them out

[kellyhuffaker]

You should get some Nick Drake & see where they stole all their ideas from
