Favorite Band/Artist & Song?

[istopmotion]

Hey, I've just been listening to lots of music lately. I'm wondering who your favorite artists are and what types of music you like :)

Personally, I love rock but there is also some rap I am into.

Top five favorite musical artists:
1. Linkin Park (this band sounds awesome live!)
2. Metallica
3. Jay-Z (this guy is awesome with Linkin Park!)
4. Muse
5. Rise Against

Top five songs:
1. Bleed it Out - Linkin Park
2. The Day That Never Comes - Metallica
3. New Born - Muse
4. The Unforgiven III - Metallica
5. Dirt Off Your Shoulder / Lying From You - Jay-Z & Linkin Park

Anyway, I'd just like to see how many people will participate and if there are any people who like the same type of music as me. Please use the poll above - I'd like to see how many votes we can get and for which genres.

Feel free to post your top 5 artists/bands and songs as well. :)

Does anyone know if there is a way to add poll options?

[Everydaynormalguy]

You have terrible taste in music istopmotion. I didn't know that there were people who actually listen to Linkin Park and Metallica, it's just not possible (like trying to combine water and oil)...
Here's My Top Five Artists:

Your list is probably the best one on here. Congrats for liking real good music.

EDIT: Im gonna go check out your band now.

DOUBLE EDIT: Pretty good, although i am not a fan of the screaming. Sound quality could be better. Not bad, which member are you?

Anything by Hendrix

Obviously the first two are a joke but yes, I only listen to old school rap. Soulja Boy is sh!t, so is Fiddy and Jay Z. TI is kinda cool though, especially his early stuff...

Thanks dude. Those screams are not good, they were actually done by friends because at the time my yelling style was a bit different. now'a'days I know a bit more about singing/screaming without destroying my voice so I handle most of it. and I've improved quite a bit as a vocalist as those are our first recordings.
I handle lead guitar and vocals. at the time of those demos we were still a 3 piece. I've since added a great bass player, and moved my old bass player to rhythm guitar. it really makes us sound full, as the rhythm doesn't just drop out when I solo anymore.

now'a'days I can't even listen to those old demos. we've improved so much on all fronts that they're just going to drive me nuts until we can get our record out. but those are basically just live recordings that we did after a month together; they were really just meant to give an idea, and get a foot in some doors.
we're slated to record in '09 with Paul Miner who's produced records for Death by Stereo, Thrice, Atreyu, and more. I'm so excited to get to work I can't stand it. It's gonna blow that old stuff out of the water.

thanks for taking the time to check it out

Hey dude, you don't have to be rude about it. We all have our opinions and I like them both a lot. Linkin Park is one of the few bands that sound awesome live. I know they're completely different types of music but I don't care, I love 'em!

I used to be obsessed with rap back about 5 years but since then I've grown on rock. Jay-Z is great in my opinion and especially when he does his songs with Linkin Park.

Anyway, one of the things I love about LP is that I can play their songs on the piano. It doesn't sound so great if you try playing the piano to a rap. :P I'm looking forward to buying an acoustic guitar soon, so hopefully I can use that to play some other rock songs that I like but for now LP sounds great on the piano :)

[matt]

Our Endless Numbered Days is a great CD!

YES YES YES!!!

My favorite though is the collaboration with Calexico, but Women King holds a special place in my heart, it was first Iron and Wine record.

[Everydaynormalguy]

^ Yeah, the whole "terrible taste in music" was a joke. We all have different tastes and makes no sense to insult any one for liking a particular sound. But, yeah, I was a little confused as to the whole Metallica and Linkin Park thang. Seems rather contradictive but who cares. I actually listen to some metal from time to time even though I'm an old-school rap kind of guy...

Okay you have your own music opinions, but please, for the love of god dont call linkin park rock. Call it alternative or something else. That is not rock.

Thanks for understanding;)

There are guitars, drums and vocals in it. It's rock.

They use rap and mix it up a little sometimes but it's still rock. (Jay-Z/Linkin Park)

I love classical. It's like my dark secret. If I wasn't married I'd have a picture of Anna Netrebko hanging over my bed.:cool:

BTW, if you type "rolando" into itunes looking for the game, a ton of her stuff pops up.

Probably alongside the new Transformers movie. Seriously, could they add some REAL music to their movies. Ms. Fox still hot though...

Wait, I thought you didn't like LP or something?:confused:

I've never seen Transformers. I always thought it looked stupid... like a little kid movie but with a pg-13 rating. :P Sort of like a Hulk movie or something. I think Hulk is better suited for kids.

I don't like LP, which is why I said they should put some REAL music into the movie i.e. they used one of LP's songs last time. Transformers is awesome. Steven TheBeef is annoying but Megan Fox is HOT! so it makes up for it. Also, robots are cool...Hulk sucks btw, Thor can whoop his ass any time...

Yeah, OK, lol. Sorry about the confusion. I thought you were saying you wished they'd put LP songs in the movie or something like that. And I agree, Hulk does suck - and I think so do most super hero movies :P (except batman and spiderman)

Seriously though, we got nothing but rock fans here. WTF kind of place is this? Come on, even country music is better than rock, straight up yo!
