    A couple of things. if you don't want to be slagged, why did you put this here. So anybody who likes any of these bands (and the only ones I do are nirvana and g'n'r ) could pat you on the back and say, yeah, fair play frink, you da man.

    Secondly, what's wrong with pop. Are you trying to tell me my love of the pet shop boys and such like is misplaced.
    but i won't slag you.
    i'll ask you a question.
    Are you between 13 and 16 ?
    Do you have a fear of bands that are not comprised of guitars and white men (who are mostly hetrosexual)?
    that's all.

    I'd go along with that boddah if you got rid of Korn and Deftones and put the Pixies and Frank Black and the Catholics instead ...

    A controversial operation to transplant the whole head of a monkey onto a
    different body has proved a partial success.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 249 ✭✭boddah

    this i have to laugh at.
    old metallica rule man! metallica sold out after the black album man!

    er, no. they reinvented themselves. any band that is still playing the same music album after album obviously havent learnt their trade. personally i prefer their newer stuff, although i still like their old stuff. but then again. i grew up with the band, matured and mellowed with them.
    i guess the youth of today just love to bash their heads against the wall. obviously the louder the music anbd the more you can try to give yourself whiplash the better.
    10 ten bands. if you can name your top 10 bands then you havent heard enough bands and your opinion on the matter is not worth a jot....



  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,346 ✭✭✭Rev Hellfire


    You go girl !


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 622 ✭✭✭darthmise


    Lets have a go:

    Manic Street Preachers (old*)
    Primal Scream
    Smashing Pumpkins
    Pink Floyd
    The Frames
    Leftfield
    Pearl Jam
    Jeff Buckley... he had a band.
    Nirvana
    Blur


    They are my favorite bands for now.


    Oh sweet jesus, no: Pixies, The Doors, The Smiths! This is harder than I thought!

    ...Ahh, a music know it all.
    The old playground shouts of "I know more about music than you do!" come flooding back to me.

    Everyone elses taste and opinion on music is just as valid as yours my friend.



  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,601 ✭✭✭Kali


    the first 3 are in order:

    Pink Floyd
    Beach Boys
    The Doors

    and currently the other 7 are:

    Spiritualized
    Smog
    Beatles
    Yo La Tengo
    Pearl Jam
    Sebadoh
    My Bloody Valentine

    I am now cool. Respect me.

    and darthmise.. I dont think Leftfield are a band wink.gif
    (although technically Smog isnt a band either, but does sound like one smile.gif )

    Whoa! Cool!
    I didn't mention Emperor...
    I'm actualy listening to Emperor right now.

    Or Metallica, but they kick ass...
    Definetly Older Metallica, it was much darker before they sold out.
    I mean, some of the stuff they did was nearly Black Metal.

    And songs like Fade To Black and Welcome Home (Sanitarium) could have come striaght out of Type O Negative!

    They were a much better band when they were darker...

    What limit it too 10 bands no way couldn't do that I love all the music I listen to.

    If you take it that seriously, you can't.

    I have quite a fair bit of music, but I couldn't be bothered to pick out THE TEN BEST BANDS.

    I just threw up ten bands I liked in any old order.
    Except that Cradle Of Filth has to be on top.

    There are tonnes of bands I could have put in the list.
    Emperor
    Metallica
    Misery Loves Co.
    Nine Inch Nails
    Children Of Bodom
    The Haunted
    Opeth
    The Smashing Pumpkins

    The list goes on...
    They are all valid, but if you have so much, you really cant take this kind of thing seriously.

    Just jot up ten bands that would give people an impression of what you like, and that'll be fair.

    Or thats how I see it, at least...

    U like Children of Bodom, Angelwhore. I got the last album and played it about twice. I thought it was appalling.

    What did u think of the COF gig a couple of weeks back at the TBMC?

    With your list of fav bands, are u going to the Wacken OPen Air? I was thinking of organising a group.

    Yeah, Children Of Bodom are class, I didn't mention them either.
    I am waiting for their new album to come in now. I have Hatebreeder.
    And, yeah, I was at Cradle Of Filth in Temple Bar.
    Met the entire band, I was hanging around for ages with them talking and everything.
    I got autographs, and I got my guitar signed by Paul, Gian and Rob.

    I'm going to go to Wacken for definet.
    E-mail me about it.

    Bet they're really nice blokes.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,313 ✭✭✭Paladin


    Most of the rock bands that I like have already been mentioned. BTW frink, I rekon most of the bands u mentioned are class, limp bizkit a bit dodgy tho, sounds like ure describing an impotent black guy smile.gif

    Just to mention some of the oldies that get ignored by modern tastes...

    The Beatles
    Queen

    Of course there are the usual muppets that rekon if they dont like two of the most successful bands of all time that they are obviously talentless. Me not need no education tongue.gif



  • Registered Users Posts: 6,461 ✭✭✭--Kaiser--


    Paladin:

    Succesfull != good (does not not equal)

    see boybands, girlbands etc.

    That said, i usually leave the beatles out of best of lists, even tho' i really like their music, i just assume everyone puts them there anyway
