Crystal Method is always cool.

I really like a single that a group named Solar Stone has out: "Seven Cities"

[TheBob]

Nova, have you heard any Ayla or Trance Control? It's good stuff. Pink Floyd is awsome.

[Nova]

I've heard a bit of Ayla but I've never heard of Trance Control.. Do they do other forms of techno, or just trance?

[oneredpanther]

Phantom of the Opera (Not a band or a person, but excellent nonetheless)

[SquidDNA]

Sting
Clapton
Led Zeppelin
Aerosmith
Pink Floyd

Though these aren't people I listen to, much, as I've memorized them and there's no need to listen anymore. :D

[TheBob]

Dude they don't call themselves TRANCE control for no reason: http://artists.mp3s.com/artists/0/trance_control.html

Thier music has more of a melody than is normal in trance, but it's still awsome!

Also check out: Solar Stone-Seven Cities, Balearic Bill-Destination Sunshine, and anything from Vincet De Moor is good!

This is the result of finding a great vinyl sale that had lot's of cheap old soul. Great music but hard to find in the local stores. And i am not bying compilations.

Tool are very good, but WTF is with the videos?


Unlike most bands, they express themselves in their videos. It's an artform. Sometimes art doesn't make sense to all people.

Oh, RATM aren't in limbo as such. Chris Cornell is taking the lead, and Morello is staying as far as I know... [/B]

Yes, Tool is very good, and as individuals, the members are each respectively good at their craft.:yippee:

I know all that, it has been common knowledge for the past several months, and nothing new has come since then. Thus, until something new comes up, they shall remain as such.

[bluevorlon]

Alpha, yes I can. See everyone else you mentioned in your post.

(with the exception of Bush and At The Drive In)

:D

BEST BAND EVAR!!

[Alpha_Monkey]

Oh, yeah...AFI! And Incubus!
Knew I forgot someone!
And Ozzy rules, but Zakk Wylde rules more...

And what, pray tell, is wrong with Drive-In? Other than being split up, that is?
I suppose you're gonna say Hundred Reasons are entirely original, too, aren't you? :)

[bluevorlon]

At least Hundred Reasons can play their instruments... ;)

I respect At The Drive In's energy, attitude, look, spirit, ethos, ... I just think they need an actual tune

[eadipus]

what is it with AFI? they were terrible live.

tool have fantastic videos.

[punkz]

Punk music anyone?

operation ivy and the lead singer's new band, common rider
bikinikill
against all authority
gorilla biscuits
really old rancid...before 'and out come the wolves'
NOFX
bad religion

[Mac_Bug]

I never got this 'favor' band thing, do you guys like every song wrote by the bands you quote?

For me most of them are one or two hits, and that's about it, and so I don't qualify them as 'favorite' band.

PS why are classic composers here too.

[bluevorlon]

yes hi old school punk is my favorite...bands such as...

Surely old school punk would count as Pistols, Ramones, Damned, The Clash et al.

As much as I like Green Day, surely they are more New Wave Punk... (Ooh, I have coined a phrase)

:D

blu

[Harmanoff]

I liked bikini kill. For some reason the Riot Grrl stuff was amusing. I bet they'd kick my ass if they heard me say that though.
And their new incarnation as Le Tigre is even better.

I'm with blue on the old skool punk issue. Buzzcocks please.

[punkz]

as far as green day...yes they are new wave sellouts now, i enjoy specifically their earlier stuff such as 1039 smoothed out slappy hours...their new commercial for green day international super hits makes me wanna puke :(

definitely, ramones sex pistols etc are awesome oldschoolers and also some of my favorites, the ramones' Loco Live kicks my ass lol
