Top 100 Favorite Bands

[Dr. Feelgood]

This is a list I've been working on for awhile now. Right now, about 25-30 of these bands are accurate, the rest I was filling out to get 100 so that I can later edit it. This is my rough draft of my favorite 100 bands. The last 5 or so are actually pretty accurate as I don't think I'd rank them any higher than other bands but like I said, it's a rough draft.

* = When Dave Williams was alive and fronting Drowning Pool, I loved them, but when they replaced him with their 2nd singer, it was hard to listen to them because I didn't like his voice at all.. Though I actually haven't heard any of their new stuff with their 3rd singer but I plan on getting their new CD.

 

It'd be cool to check out some other people's top favorite bands/artists whether it's 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, etc. This is about music in general, not just rock/metal. So let's see some lists people.

[bigdog17k]

Nice list, very nice. But it's missing Pink Floyd.

[Dr. Feelgood]

To be honest, I thought of them but decided against it because I haven't listened to them nearly as much as the ones above, but I did consider them.

Haha, atleast put them at 100.

[Super Cool Beas]

List is weak, SMH.

 

NO Pink Floyd, NO Rage Against the Machine, Motorhead & Red Hot Chili Peppers way down at the bottom...

I don't really like Rage Against the Machine...actually, I can hardly stand them. -_-

[Lkr]

GREAT list. RATM is decent, but doesn't fit your likings. Pink Floyd is an acquired taste. I personally hate Motorhead and RHCP. you got a last.fm?

[Karl Malone]

zeppelin at 53? Peppers at 99? I'd def. disagree with those but it all depends what music your into. Oh and screw deff leppard. lmao

[YugoRocketsFan]

Thumbs down, no hardcore music

calling the devil wears prada hardcore is pretty funny

[BasX]

I don't want to hijack the thread, but whats your definition of hardcore.

 

Also, excellent list, not a fan of some of those, but the time taken deserves mad respect.

[fish7718]

list blows! No third eye blind? Psh!

[s.t.a.t.]

1. Guns N Roses

2. Pearl Jam

3. ACDC

4. Incubus

5. RHCP

6. Linkin Park

7. The Who

8. Jimi Hendrix Experience

9. Blink 182

10. Coheed and Cambria

 

Notables: The Roots and Hollywood Undead (wasnt sure if you count them)

 

I dont really listen to alot of rock and dont feel like making a 100 list because I would forget some and the ordering would get messy.

[Dr. Feelgood]

Because that's a mature comment.

 

 

1. Guns N Roses

2. Pearl Jam

5. RHCP

6. Linkin Park

7. The Who

8. Jimi Hendrix Experience

That's how it's been for me. I've since edited the list I posted, taking some off and adding others in. It's tough and I'm still not done with it. Granted I don't work on the list everyday, I usually work on it like twice a month or so.

[SRV]

Nice list, I wouldn't be sble to make a top 100 as I get stuck on listening to one artist for a long time and it takes something amazing to make listen to someone else.

[La Bomba]

My personal favorite:

 

1. Sublime

2. Arctic Monkeys

3. The Strokes

4. Dave Mathews Band

5. Red Hot Chili Peppers

6. 311

7. MGMT

8. Muse

9. The Who

10. Long Beach Dub All-Stars

 

I don't really like a bunch of classic rock bands other than The Who. As you can see, our music tastes are basically polar opposite.

Edited December 9, 2009 by La Bomba

[TheNextBestThing]

Lynyrd Skynyrd is not in the top 100?

[Real Deal]

Keep in mind that it's not 100 greatest, everyone...but his favorite 100.

[AtTheDriveIn]

calling the devil wears prada hardcore is pretty funny

 

They take sounds from hardcore and combine it with metal to call themselves metalcore. It's not like he was completely wrong in saying they're hardcore.

Yes, thank you! Hah.
