Everyones top 3 bands and y?

GemDeLaCreme · 22nd May 2003, 10:18 AM

mine are and in no particular order

1 The Distillers - coz they are a female fronted band and kick ass

2 The Lunachicks - just because

3 Blondie - coz they were so influential and not coz they are a female fronted band, i c the pattern but its not on purpose

evryone else?

morven · 22nd May 2003, 11:19 AM

in order

3. Foo Fighters- just plain great music, colour and the shape is one of my fave all time albums

2. either Less Than Jake or Pantera - both completely brilliant band

1.Metallica - they just kick ass, have song/album for every mood im in, musics helped me thru alot of tough times. they rule

Ross · 22nd May 2003, 11:22 AM

1. Manic Street Preachers- one of the few bands you can actually get attached to now. They were legendary when they came out and the '4-real' incident is still the stuff of legend today (especially the look on Mary-anne Hobb's face at the side of the photo!). They changed with every album and the Holy Bible is the most magnificent piece of lyricism EVER- it talked about everything; anorexia, suicide, the holocaust, fascism, imperialism, prostitution, punishment, the lies of America's foriegn policy etc.- it left no stone unturned. Although not my favourite period in their career, they did magnificently with the 'Everything Must Go' albums to turn themselves into the biggest band in the UK. Maybe not biggest now, but always best

2. Green Day- set the standard for another pop-punk bands (and none of the current US bands have come close, including Blink)- yet to make a bad album (unlike the Manics even)

3. Weezer- this will change, cos i have 2 favourites and then it's a bit of a blur- they are fuckin outstandin

Its too hard for me to choose my top 3 bands so ill just choose 3 bands I love!

Sex Pistols - You fuckin' Rottta'

Hole - What can I say, live through this was a saviour to me

Sleater-kinney - 3 chicks fucking rocking the place

(PJ Harvey above these but she's no longer classed as a band)

Ross · 22nd May 2003, 11:30 AM

Tommy Sports · 22nd May 2003, 11:38 AM

pixies fuckin rock - Frank Black is a genius - i love Doolittle as best album

Tommy Sports · 22nd May 2003, 11:45 AM

i used to love doolittle but i listened to it about a thousand times and then discovered trompe le monde, which id always discounted before.
all the albums are amazing though.

Ally G · 22nd May 2003, 11:48 AM

in no particular order:
Tool
Faith No More
Soundgarden

Davey · 22nd May 2003, 11:50 AM

3: The Living End - noone has ever been able to make rockabilly and punk sound this cool. Chris Cheney is an awesome guitarist and songwriter.

2: Alkaline Trio - The finest dual songwriting band on the planet, matt and danny's completely different styles compliment each other so well.

1: Green Day - like Miko said, the standard bearers for modern pop punk music, and the responsible for the majority of current pop punk bands ( altho thats not always a good thing). Amazing songs, amazing live act. Also hugely influential on my other two picks

my list may be a little too conventional.. but these 3 bands play the sort of music I like.. so fuck it .. i dont care

aunt gary · 22nd May 2003, 11:52 AM

Hey there sports fans

Biffy Clyro = coz there the most amazing sound to ever come out of Scotland.

Starting Line = I have no idea

Smashing Pumpins = just listen to them!!

Chow ding

Davey · 22nd May 2003, 11:57 AM

starting line have some decent songs... but theyre pretty standard modern day pop punk fare.. theyre not doing anything new or different.. they do sound pretty much identical to NFG, but they are doing it slightly better than most bands (ie simple shite, allister

, and BFS

)
