List your top 5 favorite bands/artists

[mrartillery]

I know this has kind of been touched on in the past but i didnt want to bump a old thread and I was just curious as to what kind of music people on here listen to. I myself love music, a great passion of mine, also love the music discussions, they always seem to make interesting conversation.

That being said, everyone feel free to list your top 5 favorite bands/artists (in order) of all time, and we'll see what we come up with. :huh:

Mine:

1. Metallica
2. Led Zeppelin
3. Slayer
4. Pantera
5. Guns N' Roses

I guess I'm a rocker, what can i say! :rock:

In no particular order

1) Black Sabbath-with Ozzie
2) Beach Boys
3) Lynrd Skynrd
4) Chieftains
5) Gaelic Storm

[m16a]

Atreyu, Skillet, Thousand Foot Krutch, Muse, Paramore, Saosin (I had to add the sixth.. lol)

Yes, I like Paramore. Got a problem with that? :nana:


Since someone earlier than me in the thread likes Taylor Swift, I guess that means I'm off the hook for liking Paramore...

 

[nbp]

Man, just five? I'll just put some of my faves, in no order, and it'll probably be more than five...but def not the complete list.

Aerosmith
Stevie Ray Vaughan (best guitarist ever, don't even argue)

Yeah, definitely a rock/alternative/some indie fan. I'll go with almost any rock though. Some old, some new, some hard, some soft. If it's rock, I'm game. Except Van Halen. And Jet. (Sorry Aussie friends). For some reason, I just don't feel them. And NO NO NO NO NO NO COUNTRY!!!!
