[Warriorbird]

I don't really like anyone else at the same level.

Do the Beatles even count? It's like you saying you like chocolate, or orgasms.

[Stabbyrogue]

Does Lady Gaga if you're over 16 and male?

[Asha]

Definitely in no particular order

1) Megadeth
2) Pantera
3) Alice In Chains
4) Black Label Society
5) Jimmy Eat World
6) Stone Temple Pilots
7) Daft Punk
8) Lemon Jelly
9) Zebrahead
10) Beastie Boys

[Androidpk]

Does Lady Gaga if you're over 16 and male?

No.

[Latrinsorm]

Does Lady Gaga if you're over 16 and male?This is an odd response. My question suggested that everyone likes the Beatles - your response therefore suggests everyone who is over 16 and male likes Lady Gaga.

[Stabbyrogue]

I saw that, I didn't want to edit it. I assume you understand the meaning, however.

[Androidpk]

This is an odd response. My question suggested that everyone likes the Beatles - your response therefore suggests everyone who is over 16 and male likes Lady Gaga.

Have we ever done a "Top 10 albums" or "10 albums most influential in your life" list? I find those are more fun as some of the bands above have really shitty records.

[Drevihyin]

1. Eagles
2. Stevie Nicks
3. Alabama
4. Garth Brooks
5. Keith Whitley
6. Dire Straits
7. Styx

[Asha]

I know a fuck ton of music and play many instruments. I HATE the beatles.
Shouty choruses of trebley men? No thanks.

[Valthissa]

lots of good bands so far. I tend to like individual artists over bands. some favorites, no order:

Miles Davis
Chet Atkins
Hank Sr.
John Coltrane
Leo Kottke
Van Halen
Oscar Peterson
Yngwie Malmsteen
Benny Goodman
Jerry Garcia

I confess to owning virtually every Beatles product on LP, tape, and CD.

that's eleven and I didn't even get Reinhardt & Grappelli on the list.

C/Valth

[Stabbyrogue]

I kind of hate the older Beatles. The popish stuff.

[Latrinsorm]

I saw that, I didn't want to edit it. I assume you understand the meaning, however.Rah rah, rah-ah-ah. Roma, ro ma ma, ga ga oo la la. :yes:
I've actually met people that think the Beatles are horrible.People you can take seriously, said me to you?

Shouty choruses of trebley men? No thanks.y u jealous?

But this proves my point. The Beatles have so many songs in so many different genres that if you equate them with that then you haven't heard enough of their catalog to form a true opinion boom lawyered :heart:

In no specific order:
Pearl Jam
Led Zepplin
Weezer
Jim Croce
Eric Clapton
Pink Floyd
Johnny Cash
Tool
George Straight
Smashing Pumpkins

[Warriorbird]

1. Weezer

They do have some awesome albums.

[msconstrew]

They do have some awesome albums.

Pinkerton!

[Stabbyrogue]

I'm going to cheat and add a couple. I didn't think it over, and don't want to edit my original.

Pink Floyd (How did I forget this one?)

Rage

Eagles or Joe Walsh

Old Metallica

Ugh, I could go forever. I'm done.

[ViridianAsp]

Rancid
Misfits (with Danzig)
Samhain
Joy Division
Siouxsie and the Banshees
Tiger Army
Johnny Cash
Sisters of Mercy
Dead Can Dance
Emilie Autumn
AFI (I like everything before black sails in the sunset.)
Nick 13
Beirut
Swingin' Utters

This is more than ten, but it was hard to REALLY narrow it down.

[diethx]

1. Nine Inch Nails, but not from the past ~6 years (With Teeth+)

2. Misfits, both Danzig and Graves eras.

3. Old Metallica

4. Tori Amos

5. Green Day

6. Type O Negative

7. Tool

8. Dragonforce

9. Pennywise

10. Stabbing Westward (all but self-titled)

[Keller]

They do have some awesome albums.

Pinkerton would definitely be on my top 10 albums of all time.

Problem with Weezer is over the last 10 years they've proved they are corporate whores. Rivers got pissed after no one bought Pinkerton and just decided to make money. Can't blame him, but I also can't consider them a top 10 band of all time when they basically gave up on creating good music.

That said, they did an awesome job of covering Rainbow Connection on the new Muppets album.

[Androidpk]

People you can take seriously, said me to you?

Nope.

[Stabbyrogue]

Bloodhound gang for

A. Their stage show, and B. Lyrical genius.

I was invited to a show years and years ago, and I thought I was going to hate it. It was probably top three concerts I've ever been to. I've been to a lot.

[Drazaan]

Narrowing to a top ten is a hard thing to do. Here's my attempt in no particular order:

Townes Van Zandt
Beirut
Wu-Tang Clan (happy to see them mentioned so much)
Bob Dylan (surprised I haven't seen his name yet)
Simon & Garfunkel
Leonard Cohen
Neutral Milk Hotel

8. And One
9. Johnny Cash
10. Snog

Bob Dylan (surprised I haven't seen his name yet)


It was in the OP.

Yeah, this is all true. The reason they're on my top ten is because I spent my teenage years listening to the Blue Album, which got me through my parents' divorce and my father's precipitous remarriage to a terrible woman. And then I spent a lot of college listening to Pinkerton through every relationship and breakup. And I still listen to Pinkerton; for me, at least, it has held its appeal.

Seriously. I've been to two Bloodhound Gang concerts and their shows are terrific. Not to mention their music is excellent exercise music, and their lyrics are hilarious.

To my completely anonymous repper: how can you dislike U2 and dislike Coldplay at the same time?? Oh... because they are indistinguishable... right. Good point.

I saw them in Budapest. It was incredible.

[4a6c1]

I forgot about Lorena. I love "The Highway Man".

All her songs tell a story. She's a true artist.

per your list I youtubed few more Bonamassa songs today. He has a great old dirty rock feel to his music. It makes me want to set a pool table and order a hard drink in a smoky downtown bar.

Not sure what's with all the links but looks like a spam post. Little confused by this. Otherwise, I'm thinking you could possibly be my twin and we should hang out sometime and get wasted.

[Drew]

A lot of metalheads on the PC.

[Androidpk]

I've been thinking about my last pick and i'm gonna have to go with Danzig.

[Latrinsorm]

A lot of metalheads on the PC.They're all just pretending and deep down really love the Beatles, especially the treacly acoustic stuff. It's okay to have feelings, Drew. Come into the drum circle and let's poetry slam about it.

Dragonforce would have made it on there but I haven't heard the new singer and I'm hesitant.

They have clips of him singing on their website.

He's no ZP Theart, but with practice he will probably be decent. And he's now officially the hottest member of the group. Officially.

[DCSL]

Hmmm... definitely no Theart. I'll probably get used to the new guy but I'm disappointed with his lack of.. grandeur? Presence? Dunno. He doesn't have much charisma for me.

[WRoss]

I really really like this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8UVNT4wvIGY) song. The rest of their stuff is decent, but I'd put this song in my current top 10. Not sure if it'll be there down the road.

Yes definitely. Consult number 5 on my list. I've listened to this song approximately 18 brazillion times.
