Non-Urban Music Favourite Bands And Why

[Salar]

G'day G'day
Just wondering what everyone's favourite bands are and why is it that you like that band so much?

My favourite band of all time is probably Nirvana. When i was a child my brothers mate commit suicide after Kurt did and the song that was played at the funeral was Jesus doesn't want me for a sunbeam no more. It was 3 years later when i heard that song again that i started getting into Nirvana again
My favourite living band is probably green day. Insomniac CD was the story of my life at the time. I've always been able to relate to their music.
Radiohead is another one of my favourite bands because all of their albums are just so so solid. They are probably one of the greatest mellow rock bands ever.
At the moment i'm getting back into smashing pumpkins and REM.

dashboard confessional- if u ever go through an emo stage, they are the most amazing band to listen to (anyone got info on the next cd btw???). they have some of the only cds that i can listen to all the way through and not skip a song

also blink 182- toypaji, selftitled, and eots are all amazing cds

nirvana- enough sed

 

[Illuminattile]

Green Day. There's just something about them, I really can't explain it. They were really the band that 'saved' me from horrible mainstream pop music.

you do realise that that seems to be what green day fans are upset about in regards to their latest album.
I love their latest album, with each album they mature more, but alot of fans who were there from the very beginning are claiming that they've sold out and are too commercial

I aint really into rock or nothing but ive always liked Green Day because their music actually means something.

I think some people don't understand the difference between selling out and becoming popular. They can't help it if people like their music, and they shouldn't be berated for it. Not all pop[ular] music is bad.

 

[Salar]

i completely agree

 

[Strictly 4]

placebo, saves the day, afi, and pretty much all classic rock kicks ass... i got love for alot of different music tho, i could never put all of them in here id prolly get banned or some shit for a too long post.. ha

 

[*suspect#1*]

i love the old soul classics cuz thats what i was raised on.......isely brothers and stuff like that.....zapp and roger bootsie collins is what my oldest brother bumped

but theres some good rock i enjoy to

slayer-there shit is fast and hard
metalica-again fast and hard very talented band back in the day
guns n roses-man they were popular
plus all the rock i heard in school in te early 90s
stone temple pilots
nirvana
alice in chains shit like that
greenday
smashing pumpkins
no doubt
sometimes on saturdays after yo mtv raps would come on id watch headbangers ball


i aint diggin new rock now..... not my thing in fact i belive that just as rap was good from old school to late 90s and fell off rock has done the same thing

 

[Trump Tite]

definitley Van Halen and Led Zeppelin

 

[Amara]

The Doors. They are a classic example of late 60s rock, but their music hasn't aged over time, it's still popular. Jim Morrison was a legend. Definately a case of gone but not forgotten.

 

[AnarchistFunk]

Anti-Flag, System Of A Down, NOFX, Billy Talent, Rage Agaisnt The Machine, Offspring, Propaghandi, Reagan Youth

I like nirvana as well but think they are way overated, my favourite bands are The Verve,stone roses,The Beatles,the who,rolling stones,guns and roses ,sex pistols and a very underated band called the dandy warhols.

 

[stefanwzyga]

[Mad skillz]

Bowling for soup ? lyrics so funny
The ordinary boys ? one of only a few British bands who think about the lyrics
Tom McRae ? can relate to loads of his music
Block party ? Funky different

Red Hot Chilli Peppers.
R.E.M.
The Smiths.
Boyzone
Backstreet Boys
Linkin Park.
Steps.

So you think Nirvana is over rated and guns n roses is up there.
ooooh, if you were one of my mates you'd be getting my lecture on why guns n roses are the worst thing that EVER happened to music.
I love slash though

 

[Zero Cool]

In no particular order:

Oasis

U2

Guns N' Roses

The Stone Roses

Why: Because they make great music.
