Your top 5 of band/artists

[Zaspher]

Here are Zasphy's top five at the moment although it pretty much changes daily . I added song examples in case anyones wants to listen.

1. Endless Sporadic

A eloquent jazz metal band that serves as a inspiration for most of my my bands music. The mood In a single song can change extremely from thrash to folk to gypsy jazz in a matter of seconds.

Song Example: Impulse, Voyage of Tremoli

2. Moe.

A jam band formed from talented musicians from across the United States. Extremely progressive much like Dream Theatre, Rush and Ratdog except in my opinion ten times better. Styles change every so often making it very enjoyable. Although sometimes the vocals can be repetitive. I saw them in concert just a few days ago. I'm also friends with the bassist. There music is very well put together and they seem to be good at last minute improvisations.

song example: Crab Eyes, Wormwood, Not Commin Down

3. Moody Blues

A British rock band that introduced a new style of playing. We owe the Moody's for a great amount of modern music. The band sounds like a great orchestra. Super sad love songs and great poetic lyrics. The Moody's are great.

song examples: Your Wildest Dreams, Knights in White Satin, Question

4. Jeff Loomis

A Neoclassical musician whom is the takes the styles from classical musicians and mixes it with harmonic intervals in metal. He also plays gypsy style metal. He also can shred on the harp

Song Example: Miles Of Machines

5. Jeff Beck

A creative guitarist whom has a bendy style of playing the guitar. Well known for the smooth depressing howls his guitar can make. Absolutely Beautiful almost sounds like it could wake the dead.

Song Examples: Hammerhead, Nessun Dorma, Corpus Christi Carol

[CruZe]

1: Mariah Carey - Shes (removed) amazing :'DDDD vocals are unmatched and her songs are beautiful

2: Lil Wayne - What can I say... (removed) amazing rapper :DDD wordplay is incredible, variety, and creativity.

3: Nicki Minaj - ' o ' (Female version of Wayne) Incredible word play, lots of variety, and beautiful singing voice :'3

4: Trey Song - Hes just awesome... leave it at that

5: Drake - If i could sing like Drake I would just die :'DDD

[NJMike]

I've switched up my top five favorite band list since I last posted, so here is my new one:

5. The Black Dahlia Murder.

- It's funny I actually discovered this band from seeing a kid's shirt in school of the band. I decided to check them out when I got home, and, much like the above band, I liked what I heard, continued listening and got myself hooked.

Songs: That Which Erodes The Most Tender of Things, I Will Return, Built for Sin, Statutory Ape.


4. Blustery Caveat.

- I randomly found this band in the "Related Videos" section on YouTube. I checked them out because their name attracted me, and what I heard was just badass. I liked the vocals and I just love heavy/aggressive music like this.

Songs: Payback in Brutality, Lands of Suffering, Corporal Punishment, Abandoned Existence, Butchery of Sanity, Destined to Mutilate, Acts of Derangement, Human Hunting Species.


3. Animals As Leaders.

- I don't know I just found their song "CAFO" on Fur Affinity Forums's metal thread, and I liked it. I decided to check out more of their songs, and I liked what I heard, so I decided to get the whole album on my iPod. All of their songs are instrumental but they are all just so creative and great to listen to.

Songs: Tempting Time, Soraya, Thoroughly At Home, On Impulse, Behaving Badly, The Price Of Everything And The Value Of Nothing, CAFO, Inamorata, Point To Point, Song Of Solomon


2. Rotting Christ.

- These guys just make some amazing music. I like their gothic and dark sound on a lot of their songs, although it's a shame their newest Album, Aealo, has strayed away from that sound.

Songs: Among Two Storms, Art of Sin, If It Ends Tomorrow, You Are I, Fateless, You My Cross, Athanati Este, Keravnos Kivernitos, Enuma Elish, Victoriatus, Transform All Suffering Into Plagues, Nemecic, Helios Hyperion, Under The Name of Legion, Demonon Vrosis, dub-sag-ta-ke, Snowing Still, The First Field of the Battle, Non Serviam, Morality of a Dark Age.


1. Meshuggah.

- This is one of the most technical and unique bands I've heard as of yet. Usually I'm not a big fan of technical metal as its complex time signatures and instrument-playing confuse me and lose my interest, but not these guys; I just like how they sound using this.

Songs: Shed, Autonomy Lost/Imprint of the Un-Saved/Disenchantment, The Paradoxial Spiral/Re-Inanimate/Entrapment, Personae Non Gratae/Dehumanization/Sum, Concatenation, Elastic, The Mouth Licking What You've Bled, New Millennium Cyanide Christ, Sublevels, Closed Eye Visuals, Nebulous (re-mastered), Perpetual Black Second, Rational Gaze (re-mastered), Spasm (re-mastered), Stengah, Straws Pulled At Random (re-mastered).

1. Rise Against
Definitely, I love the meanings behind their songs and they sound great.
Fav. songs: Re-education Through labor, Make it Stop, Survivor Guilt, Ready to Fall

Just about every song by him blows my mind completely.

3. The Beatles 
Can't really explain my reason, they just get stuck in my head all the time.
Eleanor Rigby, I am the Walrus, Hey Jude

4. Turisas
So freakin' amazing.
Rex Regi Rebillis, Holmgard and Beyond, Portage to the Unknown, Rasputin

5. Blue Stahli
So freakin' amazing.
ULTRAnumb, Anti-You/Burning Bridges, Shotgun Señorita

But just about everything on this list is a tie and there's around 8 more ties, I just had to think hard about it for a bit

[Drakos]

Wow man, this is a good thread, almost wish I had seen it sooner .

All right, here's my top five:

5: Queen
Reason: First of all, give the dude some credit, Freddy Mercury was a phenomenal singer. That's probably the main reason why I like them. Another reason would probably be that their music is just generally fun to listen to for me.
Favorite Songs: Bohemian Rhapsody, We Will Rock You/We Are the Champions, Killer Queen, Fat Bottomed Girls.

4: Led Zeppelin
Reason: Hmmmm let me see here.....Robert Plant. That's all I'm going to say. What's that? I need more reason? Ok fine , because they're awesome!
Favorite Songs: All of them!

3: Judas Priest
Reason: Their 80s metal style of music captured my attention a while ago. Their music is awesome in my opinion (As well as fun to listen to). Plus, I like so many of their songs, I'd be crazy not to put them in my top 5 (Not that I'm not crazy already *Twitch*).
Favorite Songs: Devil's Child, Blood Stone, Breaking the Law, Electric Eye, Jugulator, Riding on the Wind, (Take these) Chains, You've Got Another Thing Coming, Screaming for Vengeance

2: Pink Floyd
Reason: Do I really need to give a reason? Come on, it's Pink Floyd, everyone knows that they're awesome!
Favorite Songs: ALL OF THEM O.O

1: Dragonforce
Reason: Dragonforce is definitely my favorite band of all time currently. Why? Every time I listen to their music I feel like I'm sort of in an alternate universe. A place where everything is awesome and where I feel like I can be anything I want whenever I want. It's music that lets me use my imagination a lot basically. Plus, they rock \m/!
Favorite Songs: Fury of the Storm, Fields of Despair, Dawn of a New World, Cry of the Brave, Soliders of the Wasteland, My Spirit Will Go on, Once in a Lifetime, Reasons to Live, Heroes of our time, Heartbreak Armageddon, The Last Journey Home, A Flame for Freedom, E.P.M (Cool intro JS), Strike of the Ninja, Evening Star, Heart of a Dragon, Valley of the Damned, Where Dragons Rule (MY PERSONAL FAVE NBD), Cry For Eternity, Revolution Deathsquad, Operation Ground and Pound, Trail of Broken Hearts. Oh yes, and Through the Fire and Flames .

Honorable Mentions: Lynard Skynard, Megadeath, Metallica, Genesis, Yes, Rush, and many others!

[Alicia-Korean-Soviet]

1. ABBA- I was raised on their music. I have all of their CD's and I know all of their songs. Even the ones I don't like very much, I know. x3 My favorite ABBA songs include: I Have a Dream, Fernando, SOS, and Mamma Mia.

2. Katy Perry- Her music inspires me so much. I discovered her through my best friend, and I've loved her ever since. However, her song "Firework" brings tears to my eyes. Every time I hear it, I get extreme goosebumps and it reminds me of how special I am. My favorite Katy Perry songs include: Firework , Peacock, Not Like The Movies, and Teenage Dream.

3. Cascada- OUTSTANDING techno group. I remember when I first moved to the US, I heard "Miracle" on the radio. I fell deep in love. I used to not like them for a little while after a friend of mine overglorified "Everytine We Touch." But I came back to Cascada's music, and I'm now a fan (again, and forever). My favorite Cascada songs include: Miracle, Pyromania, Evacuate the Dancefloor, and Breathless.

4. Michael Jackson- Another artist I grew up listening to. I was like, "whut" when he died. A true legend. My favorite MJ songs are: Beat It, Heal the World, Billie Jean, and Thriller.

5. BassHunter- Another outstanding techno artist! I discovered him through a random YouTube search, and from there I grew fond of his music. My friend doesn't like him very much, but I think he's amazing. My favorite songs include: Hello There, Without Stars, Walk on Water, and DoTA.

Honorable mentions: The Beatles, Elton John, Britney Spears, Die Prinzen, and Smile.Dk

[Cifero Windtail]

I wouldn't say I have 5 favorites. I have two, and then a lot of artists are tied for third. If it isn't rap, it's good. Mostly. But here are a few of my favorites:

1. ABBA- I'm one-seventh Swedish, and their music is awesome.
2. The Cutting Crew (original): The explosive combination of Nicholas Van Eede (vocals, rhythm guitar), Kevin Scott MacMichael (main guitar), Colin Farley (bass guitar), Martin "Frosty" Beadle (drums), and Tony Moore (keyboards); they are FREAKING AWESOME. Some songs you might know of theirs: I Just Died In Your Arms Tonight, One For The Mockingbird, and Between A Rock And A Hard Place.
3. Johnny Hates Jazz: Their song "Shattered Dreams" has wonderful imagery. Clark Datchler, Mike Nocito, and Calvin Hayes are totally awesome.
4. The Four Seasons. Do I need to say more?
5. Mike and The Mechanics: Can you hear them RUNNING? No. Should you hear them ROCKING? Heck Yes!
I basically like all the music on Lite Rock 105, not to mention "Thunderbirds Are Go!" by Busted.

Who needs rap when there's Rick-rolling and Paula Abdul?

Post Merge: July 07, 2011, 03:57:22 PMOh. I like Michael Jackson and The Bay City Rollers too.
