I play the bass, probably picking up the acoustic guitar too.

I'm not one to have 'favourite' bands, but look in the direction of Black Sabbath, Aerosmith, Guns N' Roses, Jimi Hendrix, Metallica, Alice In Chains, Nightwish...

You get the deal. I'm mostly flexible though. There are few things I don't like, country and gangsta rap being amongst them.


I'm not alone! Yay Nightwish! Boo gangsta rap!

Too bad the links for "Wanderlust", "Moondancers" and a few other songs are BROKEN on playlist.com! I also could not find the full versions of "Planet Hell" and "Tutankhamen". :x

I also forgot, I like songs by Weird Al and Monty Python (they have a song called "Ho Ho Fucking Ho").

Ho ho ho derp.

I USED to play piano. I don't really listen to music, so I don't have a favorite band.

Ame, with the exception of Hendrix and Aerosmith, your list is pretty metal.

Cold Fridge, for some variety, go with bands like The Who and The Doors. And of course, PANK Floyd and Led Zeppelin. Maybe The Rolling Stones, if you're into that kind of thing, but I think everyone on the planet is over the Stones after that Superbowl performance.


So, this thread. I've listed my favorite bands on this forum before, and even though you won't be able to find them, I still don't feel incredibly motivated to do so again.

But I will talk about what instruments I play. Primarily, I sing. Secondar...i...ly, I play the piano. I am going to college this year, and I'm going to enter a program to major in vocal jazz. Besides singing, the school I'm going to will also teach hella theory and jazz piano. I'm pretty punped. Problem is, it's a community college that has this music program (I plan to transfer after two years), and don't get me wrong, it's a great program, but the college is in a small town in Iowa. It'll be like training under a waterfall, but instead of training it's playing music and instead of a waterfall it's corn, some houses, the school, and a Wal-Mart.

Ha, thanks for starting my list for me! Also ;

Pearl Jam
Jimi Hendrix
They Might Be Giants
Talking Heads
Rodrigo y Gabriela
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Tenacious D (only for laughs)
Nirvana
John Lee Hooker and finally
The Police
Also Blind Melon
Does computer game music count? Stemage (Metroid Metal) Rules! There's also alot of bands where I constantly listen to just one of their songs continuously, but they don't really count.

I play the guitar reasonably well, both electric and acoustic, but I prefer acoustic. People think I can play keyboard, but believe me I can't.

Edit - Is this the part when I say Page get?

I don't play an instrument, I can't even read notes. Unfortunately no one ever forced me to learn an instrument and now I'm too lazy.


As for my favourite bands, I've never really made a list since for a lot of bands it's just me liking a certain album or a few songs. I can tell you it'd be full of japs though.

Japs is actually a racial slur, I believe. Just so you know.

I played cello in 5th and 6th grade, but stopped because I can't actually read music. And then in 10th grade I did A Cappella, but I have an ugly as fuck voice, at least normally, so I stopped. I still also can't read music.

But, favorite band time:

Combichrist
Psyclon Nine
Interpol
The Strokes
The White Stripes
Beastie Boys
Vintersorg
Arcana
Kimya Dawson
Assemblage 23
Regina Spektor
CocoRosie
Bloodhound Gang
Franz Ferdinand
They Might Be Giants
Lil' Pocketknife
Apocalyptica
The Beatles
Vivaldi
Benny Benassi
The Killers
Islands
Hot Hot Heat
Ladytron
The Lonely Island
How Like A Winter
God Is An Astronaut
The Hives
Metric
X-Ray Spex


...yeah, think that's it
