Your Favourite Band

To pick one, I'd say !!! (chk chk chk) as a proper band for today. Just cos they are so good live.
Of all time, probably Gang of Four.
To the OP, Good Charlotte. That is very odd, to me. They are like a kiddies version of a pop-punk band. I saw them live in Amsterdam (free tickets) and they were, well, cringe-worthy.
You really need to listen to more stuff! Not trying to slag you off, or say you should like the same as me, just trying to be helpful cos there is so so much better stuff out there.Posted 1 year ago # -
Gotta be Rush for me. Lots of other bands get a listen but I always go back to them. Just been watching Spirit Of Radio live on You Tube. Fires you up nicely for venturing out into the snow.

Possibly in this order:
The Smiths
Janes Addiction
Belle and Sebastian
Spiritualized
Pixies (although they could easily climb up the list depending on mood)Posted 1 year ago # -
The band I can listen to over and over and still hear new bits and can't seem to get bored of (so I guess that makes them my favourite) would be Tool.

One's just too hard, sorry. Biffy and Foo Fighters getting a lot of airplay in this household. Really looking forward to the MK Bowl gig next year.
The Fopster's list seems to overlap with a lot of my tastes!
White Stripes, Muse, Jimmy Eat World and Arcade Fire also a strong showing on our playlists.
The Church is probably my most played band over the last three (eeek!) decades.

Probably Muse is the most popular on my iPod at the moment.

Having gone through loads of phases in my life I'd have to choose 2.
For relaxation and just overall amazingness I can't be without Dire Straits and Alchemy Live would be my number one desert island disc.
However I just love American punk music and Less Than Jake are far and above my favourite band, just seen them live and they were amazing.
Good Charlotte? Are you kidding?

I should have put favourite bands rather than band. Cos I've got a few too, just Good Charlotte are my most favourite band because I've listened to there music for about 5-6 years.

I've got a lot of time for Good Charlotte, they impressed me at Reading- not a bad set but also they responded better to an epic bottling than anyone since Daphne and Celeste. Bit more to them than most US rawk bands I reckon.

Dream Theater anyone?
The most consistently great band I've ever heard, epic songs >20 minutes which don't get boring once throughout them.

lifer thank you soo much for that post, I've seen the last 2 minute of that video about 3 times and never known who they were or what the track is called. I was even going to test the STW mind hive a couple of years back with a description of shouty beardy blokes in a church! Any particular albums I should look out for by this lot?
Posted 1 year ago # -
The Cure
Fields of the Nephilim
Poison Idea
Tool
NMAcan't pick one over the others

Would have to be the Clash. Dodgy politics sometimes, but right causes and hearts in the right places. But undeniably the best live band ever.

If I truly had to pick one or two bands who's music consistently moves me and entertains me and makes the hairs on my neck stand up then Elbow and Arcade Fire. Both have that epic yet intimate quality, huge music that still sounds personal and close; I can't describe it any other way. Got tickets for Elbow at the O2 next year, in the standing area. That's going to be quite a gig, first time I'll have been in the arena. Wish I'd got tickets for Arcade Fire there now, after reading the reviews.

The Rembrandts only one marginally poor song in the entirety of their output
Runners up
Chroma Key/Kevin Moore
Mew
Mansun
