2. The Smiths 3. The Fieldmice 4. Camera Obscura 5. Oasis Top 5 lists of bands are a bit hard though really,but the Smiths and Roses are constants for me.

Title: Re: Favourite Bands Post by: juddie on Monday, March 23, 2009, 11:26:06 this is tough. The music I listen to now is vastly different to some ofd the stuff I listened to growing up, so a combination of things here...
1. Massive attack 2. Cream + subsequently clapton 3. Zero 7 4. Stone Roses 5. Jurassic 5 My five fabourite current bands would be: 1. Sneaky sound system 2 MGMT 3 Empire of the sun 4 fleet foxes 5 Seasick Steve Title: Re: Favourite Bands Post by: flammableBen on Monday, March 23, 2009, 12:14:47 Queue up that count down tune they used to play on the radio. dooo-do do do do-doo doo-doo doo-doo. Propellerheads?
Staying still at number 5... [url width=400 height=400]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d35/flammableben/HA6776.jpg[/url] I dreamt I had long hair last night. Not that I ever used hairbands when I did. But I might if I grow it long again. A re-entry, up 2 at 4... [url width=400 height=299]http://www.riderz.co.uk/images/bandana.jpg[/url] ...The bandana.

[url width=320 height=343]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d35/flammableben/Elasticbandball.jpg[/url] ...The Elastic Band. Flicking, rolling, stretching, chewing, the all round super band. Losing the top spot after 3 weeks at number one... [url width=346 height=346]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d35/flammableben/managed-broadband1.gif[/url] Broadband! Somehow represented by us all about to be crushed by giant hands! Broadband will eventually lead to all our deaths :( This weeks number one... It's a surface with only one side and one boundary component... [url width=310 height=287]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d35/flammableben/FOW7LVVN3YEWZM4WXYMEDIUM.jpg[/url] It's the Mobius Band! Make a model of one with a bit of paper! Amaze yourself by following it round with a pen. Cut in half lengthways and be astounded by the results! Marvel at all it's potential mechanical and engineering uses. I put far too much effort into that. Title: Re: Favourite Bands Post by: chalkies_shorts on Monday, March 23, 2009, 12:20:54 1) Neil Young
2) Beatles 3) Kinks 4) Kate Rusby 5) AC/DC Title: Re: Favourite Bands Post by: Bogus Dave on Monday, March 23, 2009, 12:21:54 Kate Rusby FTW!!!!!!!!!
Title: Re: Favourite Bands Post by: suttonred on Monday, March 23, 2009, 12:40:39 Who is that? I thought it was fat finger syndrome trying to type Kate Bush.
Title: Re: Favourite Bands Post by: Arriba on Monday, March 23, 2009, 13:00:46 queen

Title: Re: Favourite Bands Post by: DMR on Monday, March 23, 2009, 14:49:27 I put 2 singles artists in my "bands" list, oops.
Add (at the moment) Girls Aloud. Yes that's fucking right, Girls Aloud. And Sublime, who ought to be in my top 5 anyway. Title: Re: Favourite Bands Post by: Simon Pieman on Monday, March 23, 2009, 14:52:09 Alkaline Trio are the only band I can listen to alot without getting bored of them, well their stuff from the 90s anyway.
Most modern favourite band is probably British Sea Power. I can't be bothered to narrow down anything older than that into a favourites list, which probably defeats the object of the thread, but meh, screw your list. Title: Re: Favourite Bands Post by: blinkpip on Monday, March 23, 2009, 15:16:22 Blink 182
Silverchair HIM Papa Roach Lostprophets Title: Re: Favourite Bands Post by: yeo on Monday, March 23, 2009, 15:23:15 They'll always be Blinkpip182 to me pippy
Title: Re: Favourite Bands Post by: Barry Scott on Monday, March 23, 2009, 16:24:46 In no order, 5 is hard as well innit.
Chemical Brothers Massive Attack Dire Straits Jurassic 5 Abba Title: Re: Favourite Bands Post by: oxford_fan on Monday, March 23, 2009, 16:32:27 Are Jurassic 5 really a band? Beastie Boys is a bit more understandable considering they can all play something (and play it well), and have done on records. Pharcyde would be acceptable too.
I'm not having hip-hop in my five. In order, best first: Radiohead Genesis Cornershop Kings Of Leon Arcade Fire Title: Re: Favourite Bands Post by: Arch Stanton on Monday, March 23, 2009, 16:56:22 Are Jurassic 5 really a band? Beastie Boys is a bit more understandable considering they can all play something (and play it well), and have done on records. Pharcyde would be acceptable too. I'm not having hip-hop in my five. In order, best first: Radiohead Genesis Cornershop Kings Of Leon Arcade Fire Indeed, Cornershops 'Lessons learned from Rocky I to Rocky III' is an absolute true barnstorming classic..... Title: Re: Favourite Bands Post by: axs on Monday, March 23, 2009, 17:04:54 Manics
Killers Polyphonic Spree Meat Loaf James. I could list 20 easily. And eveyone else has clash and jam so i'm omitting them. Title: Re: Favourite Bands Post by: Gelbfüßler on Monday, March 23, 2009, 17:09:23 Are Jurassic 5 really a band? Beastie Boys is a bit more understandable considering they can all play something (and play it well), and have done on records. Pharcyde would be acceptable too. If being able to play an instrument is one of the criteria, then my list reduces to 1. :( Title: Re: Favourite Bands Post by: adje on Monday, March 23, 2009, 17:42:15 1 Neil Young
2 Rolling Stones 3 Tom Waits 4 The Fall 5 HMHB Title: Re: Favourite Bands Post by: Reg Smeeton on Monday, March 23, 2009, 17:51:32 1 Neil Young 2 Rolling Stones 3 Tom Waits 4 The Fall 5 HMHB Yeah but is Neil Young a band? I'd say he's more a solo artist. Title: Re: Favourite Bands Post by: adje on Monday, March 23, 2009, 18:09:45 Title: Re: Favourite Bands Post by: Bedford Red on Monday, March 23, 2009, 18:11:11 1. The Jam
2. Manic Street Preachers 3. The Killers 4. Foo Fighters 5. Muse Title: Re: Favourite Bands Post by: Reg Smeeton on Monday, March 23, 2009, 18:12:43 Right I was just going by the fat title...think it would have been better to have had a thread for solo artists and another for bands... Title: Re: Favourite Bands Post by: suttonred on Monday, March 23, 2009, 19:02:18 Yeah but is Neil Young a band? I'd say he's more a solo artist. Most of the time he's been either with CS&N or Crazy Horse, so guess he can sneak that through.Title: Re: Favourite Bands Post by: Rich Pullen on Monday, March 23, 2009, 19:05:19 01. The Who
02. Queens of the Stone Age 03. Rancid 04. Crosby, Stills & Nash 05. The Phenomenauts Title: Re: Favourite Bands Post by: Reg Smeeton on Monday, March 23, 2009, 19:07:08 01. The Who 02. Queens of the Stone Age 03. Rancid 04. Crosby, Stills & Nash 05. The Phenomenauts Surely that should be Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young? Title: Re: Favourite Bands Post by: Rich Pullen on Monday, March 23, 2009, 19:09:17 Surely that should be Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young? Nope :) Title: Re: Favourite Bands Post by: Reg Smeeton on Monday, March 23, 2009, 19:12:54 Nope :) Fair enough, I prefer the C,S, and N without the Y. Might upset Adje though. Title: Re: Favourite Bands Post by: suttonred on Monday, March 23, 2009, 19:15:21 If memory serves, he was in Buffalo Springfield also.
Title: Re: Favourite Bands Post by: Reg Smeeton on Monday, March 23, 2009, 19:22:06 If memory serves, he was in Buffalo Springfield also. Fuck yeah....been many a year since I've heard any of that old stuff. Title: Re: Favourite Bands Post by: suttonred on Monday, March 23, 2009, 19:32:33 I've got an album with Hot Burritto on somewhere, think i might go dig it out and have a listen.
Title: Re: Favourite Bands Post by: adje on Monday, March 23, 2009, 19:45:57 Fair enough, I prefer the C,S, and N without the Y. Might upset Adje though. CSN without the Y is like Zippy Bungle and George without Geoffrey! Title: Re: Favourite Bands Post by: suttonred on Monday, March 23, 2009, 19:50:27 So a good thing then!
Title: Re: Favourite Bands Post by: chalkies_shorts on Monday, March 23, 2009, 20:02:44 So a good thing then! No, a bad thing. Neil Young is the musical equivalent of Steve White. Title: Re: Favourite Bands Post by: suttonred on Monday, March 23, 2009, 20:04:52 Lost me, do you mean looks(sounds) shite, but isn't really?
Title: Re: Favourite Bands Post by: chalkies_shorts on Monday, March 23, 2009, 20:06:20 Both Gods and geniuses in my world.
Title: Re: Favourite Bands Post by: suttonred on Monday, March 23, 2009, 20:10:12 Good, i'm off to see Neil Young in the summer, with a bit of luck Stevie might be there to, to round off a perfect day.
Title: Re: Favourite Bands Post by: chalkies_shorts on Monday, March 23, 2009, 20:15:23 I'm off to see him in Nottingham in June. Saw him last year at Hop Farm and he was superb. He's still an angry old bastard at 63 and long may it continue.
Title: Re: Favourite Bands Post by: Crozzer on Monday, March 23, 2009, 20:52:42 1. Dire Straits (Knopfler should knock off the artsy-fartsy stuff and start rocking again)
2. Shads (Wouldn't have all the later guitar heroes without Hank Marvin) 3. ELO (By virtue of "Time") 4. Traveling Wilburys (Roy Orbison, couldn't that guy sing!) 5. Booker T and the MGs (the Colonel is the man, re. Blues Brothers) There's some great bands currently (even though I'm an old git), Killers, Coldplay, etc, REM are always worth a listen. Blondie get an honourable mention, well ahead of their time. Boomtown Rats were fun. In the early days of punk, the "Rats" spat on the audience who spat back and at each other. I claimed a Geldof flob at a concert when the Rats were just breaking into the charts. Title: Re: Favourite Bands Post by: Nemo on Monday, March 23, 2009, 20:58:02 1. Pink Floyd
2. Bon Jovi 3. R.E.M 4. Muse 5. The Killers A whole hatful of honourable mentions including Franz Ferdinand, Belle and Sebastien and Manic Street Preachers, but that's just getting greedy. Title: Re: Favourite Bands Post by: DMR on Monday, March 23, 2009, 21:11:36 Rancid's are great, good shout Rich.
And Out Came The Wolves is a brilliant album. Reminds of Tony Hawk skater games. Title: Re: Favourite Bands Post by: Crozzer on Monday, March 23, 2009, 21:20:24 I would have honourably mentioned Shakin' Stevens and the Sunsets, owing to the sax player playing on his back and the piano player playing the keyboard with his arse, but they were from somewhere near Cardiff, hence they don't count. Title: Re: Favourite Bands Post by: adje on Thursday, March 26, 2009, 22:31:19 I'm off to see him in Nottingham in June. Saw him last year at Hop Farm and he was superb. He's still an angry old bastard at 63 and long may it continue. That was a great gig-despite the weather and car park debacle."A Day in the Life" was worth the entrance fee alone |
