Changes almost everytime I download a new album :p

yea exactly, so about every 3 days my mind changes ^.^

Dream Theater hands down.

I still don't think any video shows there awesomeness more then Instrumedly at the Budokan.

I still can't go past Nirvana.

daft punk

rofl i was into dream theater about 2 weeks ago for like f***ing 2 yrs. amazing band imo. train of thought is there best album imo. but i love the song glass prison.

agalloch, arcturus or nevermore

in flames should have quit after the jester race...their last 3 albums have been especially awful

dream theater are obviously incredibly talented but their music has never really interested me. plus james labrie's voice is annoying

I've been into DT for 12 years, ever since I heard Space Dye Vest back in early primary school I've been hooked and never has a band continually impressed me to this very day.

Finally after all this time they will be playing the Riverstage on Friday :)

Also 1 more vid for the thread, I promise :)... just for you Arize, Glass Prison live on Gigantour... the look on Petrucci's face when Portnoy bumps up the BPM and he has to do the intro lead, nearly unhuman.

Couldn't say really. I've got about 5 equally favourite bands.

• Incubus
• Rush
• Red Hot Chili Peppers
• Tonic
• Alien Ant Farm

+1 for DT, cant get enough

I've had lots but over time, they just went downhill (ie live, everclear)

So you've gotta go back to the classics...

So who's going to see Dream Theater??

I'll be there taking photos!! :)

Beatles.

deftones - hands down

Ash or POTUSA

daft punk

seriously, anyone who went to the show @ riverstage knows what im on about
talk about an amazing show

this week its the Klaxons :)

as good as seeing daft punk here in oz..i'd so want to see them in their home country france or anywhere in europe..now that'll be an experience..

yeah I have to agree, daft punk with 50,000 people and a better stage setup than riverstage could offer would be an experience

pink floyd

smashing pumpkins, queens of the stoneage, deftones, prodigy, massive attack/ but qotsa, and smashing pumpkins prolly tie for my all time favourite

Electric Six

defcon, you going to v festival to see SP and QoTSA ?

tool

s*** hey, those DT vids were awesome - I've heard of them, but never really bothered looking them up, might have to now :)

<3 holy s***, didn't know they were comming, and at the same time... hope tix are still availible, gotta check tommorrow -_- fkn ta for the info damo

;)

V festival is the only festival worth going to now.. :)

last year was great, it had beck, groove armada, gnarls barkley, pet shop boys and so on...

definitely Billy Joel and Elton John

I'd do anything to be able to play like those guys

The Pixies 4 eva

Vamos!!!!

AC/DC are the best band in the world.

Clearly the Bon Scott days were the high point but I like Brian Johnson too.

"Back in Black" is hands down one of the best rock albums ever made.

Right now?
Well currently im lovin Lynyrd Skynyrd. I'm not talkin sweet home alabama radio edit. I'm talkin gimme three steps, call me the breeze, crossroads, free bird etc.
Lynyrd Skynyrd rock, to a much greater degree than i ever imagined.

Right now i'm heavily into johnny cash, elton john, billy joel, eric clapton, sting and the police..

Aphex Twin (if one person counts as a band)
(Pop Will Eat Itself deserves a mention for being an act I was into for a really long time)

red hot chili peppers
pixies
rage against machine

i add rage after seeing em live

Disturbed, Metallica, Tea Party, Pink Floyd

Just a few of the bands I consider tops.

The Jam



Wire







Stiff Little Fingers



Buzzcocks







Magazine





Gang of Four



XTC



Echo and the Bunnymen



Elvis Costello





New Order

haha chub since watching the Dream theater videos again im back onto them >.< lol
its just sucks that a few years back the lead singer wrecked some of his vocal cords so i have heard, but still f***ing amazing.

lol just watched a video as i am. where he sang eat my ass and balls f***ing hilarious.

In no particular order I'd have to say for all time favourites:
Rush (probably first in the order if it came to it)
Metallica (I found Load to be probably the most fun to play the guitar along to more so than any other album I'ev tried to play)
Pink Floyd (Roger Waters' solo stuff as well)
Led Zeppelin
Foo Fighters
Powderfinger.

Mostly considered mainstream and clichéd, but I really don't care what other people think as long as I enjoy it.
I still enjoy all of them thoroughly.

Right now I'm enjoying:
No band is really grabbing my attention right now and it's s***ting me. I have an unfortunate dissatisfaction with the current offerings.

its just sucks that a few years back the lead singer wrecked some of his vocal cords so i have heard, but still f***ing amazing.

That's history now... James' vocals are soo powerful and pitch perfect now. I agree, originally he was a weak point in the band, but you should really check out there latest concert DVD "Score" to see how much James has improved.

Ok, one more vid... Under a glass moon @ Score :)

chub. you got the album train of thought?

also are they having a aus tour if so when is it?

holy s*** chub you are right hes sounds f***ing amazing now. i was watching some of his old onese where it must have been recent to his vocal issues, cause he didn't sound anywhere near as good, as he does now. nice video chub

Their best album was by far Images & Words.

Alchemist,Slayer,Devildriver

wow, you guys are all really really bad at music

If I were to mention any of my favorite bands or artists here, I'd no doubt be bashed for the next four pages of a thread destined to die in another two, and it forever bought up as rebuttals to arguments :)

Ok Go
Richard Clayderman
Meat Loaf
Mika
Savage Garden
The Corrs
Fall Out Boy
Hoobastank
Nickelback
Camille Saint-Saens
Green Day
Savage Garden
Queen
Celine Dion
Roxette


Are we getting the picture yet?
I will hint that my all-time favorite is in the above list, however (I also realise that a few are artists not bands, but nethertheless...).

pick 1 band not your life story kthx.

if i had to pick one band, i would have to choose coheed and cambria they just rock

At the moment it is definitely these guys (and this show):

ooooo yea ccl, i was right in there at the front

nice vid, gives u a good view of the whole place, that went fkn nuts in the last chorus

I'm also cranking QUEEN

In the biggest oldskool mood of late..now this was and still is some of the greatest music of all time..

Strung out. havent listened to them fr awhile then found a cd in my car have had it cranking for the last few weeks straight.

The Mars Volta
Queens Of The Stone Age
At The Drive-In
Pink Floyd
Muse
Tool
Rage Against The Machine
Led Zeppelin

Hrmm...

Honourable mentions

Led Zeppelin
Rage against the machine
A Perfect circle
Muse (but poo on their latest album.. its not bad, but i dont like it much)
System of a Down
Portishead.

Props to whoever said Bungle, Mike Patton is pretty godlike to me, with Mr. Bungle, Tomahawk, Peeping Tom being pretty up there in some of my favourite CDs....

ooooo yea ccl, i was right in there at the front

nice vid, gives u a good view of the whole place, that went fkn nuts in the last chorus

It took a little while to get a video that represented the event best. The ones from up the front were, understandably, all over the place and with bad audio.

I was up the front too. Absolutely mental. Best fun ever.

Tea Party (ftw), Van Halen, Stone Temple Pilots...

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Key Tracks: Whatever happened to my rock and roll, Berlin

Queens of the Stone Age, Key Tracks: In the fade, in my head

Avalanches, Key Tracks: Since I left you, Live at dominoes (Remis: ray of zdarlight, available on their website)

Death From Above 1979, Key Tracks: Black History Month


Lately gotten into:
Battles

battles + tij = ^____^

rise against, killswitch engage, foo fighters, the living end... honourable mentions would go to parkway drive, metallica, rhcp, in flames... in the last couple of years i've been stuck in a phase involving these sort of bands, story of the year, thrice, etc. even funeral for a friend, as whiney as they are, started off with really interesting drum patterns and riffs.

all time favourite song would probably go to Everlong. funnily enough, Everchanging by rise against is probably in a close 2nd.

and of course all the usual classic rock bands go without saying.

That song by Battles - Atlas...trips me out...i think im supposed to be on drugs to understand the lyrics lol. Love Ddiamondd tho.

Oh yeah, Yellowcard is my ftw band right now. Mention to Ash, clones rocks.

team sleep
alice in chains
some bjork
eddie bravo
bark at the moon
ratatat

Ive been listening to Battles alot lately, and tea party are pretty wicked also.

Big fan of the T party as well. But sadly they broke up before anyone really noticed them.

RATATAT are awesome

Chili Peppers

if you like battles youll like ratatat
if you life the more mellow deftones stuff you might like team sleep
in flames are pretty sweet but pantera will always be the best metal band of all time.

check out bark at the moon, they played at bdo and were absolutely awesome.

Jeff Martin from Tea Party was living in Perth 2 yrs ago and has released a couple of solo albums...Exile & The Kingdom...ummm, can't remember the other.

Have the team sleep demo and the proper one, really good eh, i particularly like natalie portman and interlude.

do you have the ratatat remixes? wicked stuff

I am also waiting on getting a set ratatat did with soko (yeah the whingy french girl) for some EU radio station from a mate.

my favourite band of all time is TOOL

i have seen them live twice: at festival hall in '96 and whatever year they toured last in Brisbane, cbf looking it up

Another one of my favourite artists

Good ol Rollins, and the only song anyone outside of Rollins Band fandom knows.

Also, Maynard looks wrong with a mullet. Looks wrong with any sort of hair. :D

I never bothered to watch Tea Party's videos and ppl are right, he does look like Jim Morrison...

last edited by Monkey_Magic at 10:45:28 31/Jan/08

^ No, I disgree that Jeff Martin looks like Jim Morrison. I do agree that he SOUNDS/SINGS LIKE like Jim Morrison.

RIP.. The Lizard King.

The Gaslight Anthem
The Gifthorse (Bris)
Rentokill
The Loved Ones
Kid Dynamite

And about a million more. I don't have a "favorite band" as such.

Tom Vek and his crazy ass videos
