[paulthenurse]

Another Dead Head here. Saw them 43 times in a mis-spent youth. Still pissed off at the Fat Man for ruining it for us. Recently saw Bobby and Rat Dog for the first time and it was great.

Other faves:

The Beatles.
Stones
Stevie Ray
Ray Charles
Dylan
Zepplin
Clapton
Sinatra (Don't go there. It's like trying a new and different beer.)
Rosemary Clooney (Same as Sinatra, just cause you haven't tried it doen't mean it's not really good.)
Ten Years After
The Byrds
Buffalo Springfield
Any combination of Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young


And BM, I think you might want to add Christofer Cross and the Captain and Tenille to your list of BMC bands. Careers that died not a minute too soon.

[zythos]

only ten...

1.) TOOL
2.) Metallica
3.) Pantera
4.) Primus
5.) Blind Guardian
6.) Dimmu Borgir
7.) Children of Bodom
8.) Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
9.) Green Carnation
10.) Pearl Jam

It's hard to name only ten. I left out Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and Jimi Hendrix out of fairness to the bands from my generation. Honorable mention should also go to, Rush, G 'n' R, Slayer, Type O Negative, Venom, Queen, and Stevie Ray Vaughan.

My list could really go on... I won't name them all though because, well you would probably stop reading less than half way through anyway. I would also like to acknowledge Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Yngwie Malmsteen, and Eric Johnson; four of the most excellent guitar players ever. I also have a great appreciation for John Williams and Carlos Montoya two more of my favorite guitar players. I should also not forget Dimebag Darrell (Darrell Lance Abbott) of Pantera, one of my most influential guitar idols. Yeah, I know I got off on a tangent here. It's just I love favorite band threads, they really hit the spot with me. Plus I've been drinking some tasty Belgian brews.

Bump....

Amazing what threads you find in the dregs of this forum.

My 5 cents:

Dissection
Dimmu Borgir
Amon Amarth
Sepultura (Max Cavalera era, not the new crap)
NOFX (because I can't listen to Black Metal and Death Metal all the time...)

:rockin:

 

[schneemann]

black flag
cro-mags
agnostic front
slapshot
led zepplin
doors
metallica
exploited
dead kennedys

Slayer and Dead Kennedys definitely make my top ten! Exploited would be close too!
