Parker Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 I know we have a lot of music lovers here, so who are your favorite bands or musicians?I'm a huge blues and jazz fan so I would have quite a long list, but I won't post a lot because I'm sure most of you guys haven't even heard of the artists, and I don't imagine a lot of people here are into the same music I like.Led ZeppelinRory GallagherCreamDjango ReinhardtJerry ReedLes PaulChet AtkinsHowlin' Wolf"Blind Boy" FullerRobert JohnsonThe Allman Brothers Band (with Duane Allman)LeadbellyT-Bone WalkerThe Derek Trucks Band The Tedeschi Trucks BandThe DoorsI have a much longer list, but these are the more popular artists that you've probably heard. Rory Gallagher is a fantastic Irish blues rock guitarists that most people don't know for whatever reason. He is absolutely fantastic but never got as popular as he should have been.Parker 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreakon139 Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 I'm all over the place, my "favorites" can change within the same week. However, consistent favorites of mine would probably be: Flaw Volbeat August Burns Red Deadlock Emarosa/Jonny Craig Dance Gavin Dance City and Colour Breaking Benjamin Anberlin Jason Mraz Owl City I, Omega/The Syncope Threshold I typically like most music that comes out these days, or I'll at least I'll give it a shot. Mainly bands that have singers I consider very talented/unique, bands that get me pumped up or softer, easy listening stuff. The only music I usually won't tolerate is rap, most bands before the 90's (with a few exceptions, like The Beatles), really obnoxious black/death metal, and maybe another random genre or two... like country (though I don't hate it) or... I dunno... opera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreakon139 Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Yeah, I've seen that elsewhere. Not sure if it's supposed to be making fun of it or something... but I prefer the original. I actually like Owl City. The lyrics are abysmal (especially on the newer albums, Maybe I'm Dreaming is quite tolerable) but it's more or less just upbeat, bubbly and fun. I don't think it's really supposed to be taken too seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here, but I post that video everywhere and this seemed like the perfect moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azakos Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Arent these guys, like, Brand new? They are heavy, but they don't scream... Right, they're in the studio right now recording their first album. I love their music, and definitely respect their decision to not to have screaming.

zairozen Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 In what respect, that they don't scream or just their sound in general? Both. Its not like IWRESTLEDABEARONCE were they just mash every single type of music up. I just find it interesting that they sound heavy, like ALMOST like Asking Alexandria, but they don't scream. It's a nice change up. Really exited for their new album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orenjikitty Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Linkin Park were my favourite but with their 2 latest albums well.... I still love Rise Against, Story of the Year, Muse, Placebo and Queen. I like a lot of techno as well but most of them are just individuals so they dont fit here.

They've only posted two studio update videos (well, more of just fun little time lapses) to their YouTube Channel, and it's been a while since they've posted anything else. Wish they would.

Dreakon139 Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Not sure how many there are, but the one featuring Jonny Craig and some other guy. Not the acoustic one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other guy is Tyler Carter, of Woe, Is Me, another one of my favorite bands. Are you not into acoustics? Because the acoustic version is fantastic too, as well as their other acoustic, The Sower.

Because the acoustic version is fantastic too, as well as their other acoustic, The Sower. I listened to it, it didn't have the same kind of energy and vocal prowess as the non-acoustic version. I usually like acoustics, but the one for Lion Skin just couldn't live up to the original for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
