Roxel asked:
I certainly do. I mean, when I was younger, my favorite band was Queen. Then it changed to Led Zeppelin when I was like 13. Shortly after that, I started getting into Alice In Chains and other Alternative and Grudge bands.
Once, I got into Metal, my favorite band list started changing like crazy. These are my last five favorite bands in order…
Shadows Fall
Firewind
Nevermore
Tool
Between The Buried and Me (Current Favorite)
So do you have a long history of favorite bands?
Not a long list, but it has changed
Started with Guns ‘N Roses
went to Sepultura
then Type O Negative
then Iced Earth
then Blind Guardian when Matt left Iced Earth

Still changes all the time. I tend to put a CD in, and if it’s hitting the spot, either leave it in for a few days or go through whatever I have of their catalog. Totally get into them/ want to hear nothing but! good clean fun.

^(YAY)
i’ve had the same favorites for as long as i can remember!
Yes sorta.
Didn’t have my first “favorite band” until I was 11.
These first three became my favorites one after another for about 6 months.
The Ramones
Blondie
The Doors
My love for them is still there but not nearly as strong, I went without a favorite band for about 2 years and then I found….
Led Zeppelin
I still love zep, but eventually my favorite band became…
Nirvana.
As of now it still is, I mean I have favorites… but Nirvana is my favorite. People have tried to get me into metal but I just get really turned off by the vocals. Plus I haven’t felt as strongly about a band before or after listening to Nirvana, I am fairly certain it will remain that way. However there is always room for more wondetful bands to add to my favoriteS.
yep. started with Guns n Roses–>megadeth–>annihilator–>venom–>cradle of filth–>cathedral–>anathema–>arcturus
now i dont really focus on only 1 favorite band.
Not really.
It went from the Backstreet Boys to Everclear.
Then there were some bands added along side of Everclear as the years went by.
Hole, Smashing Pumpkins, Colorfinger, and The Oohlas.
tool isent even metal, but here u go amon amarth, job for a cow boy , the black dhalia murder, dethklok cradle of filth, slipknot rise against, protest the hero, cannibal corpse ,children of bodom ,suidakra, in flames, killswitch engage, lamb of god, mastodon, cancer bats and himsa, are all of my favs.
instead of changing i add on and switch up the order
Rage against the machine, Queen, Guns N Roses, Led Zepp and RHCP are my top 5
When I was really little I LOVED Bon Jovi.
Then it changed to Creedence Clearwater Revival (who I still love)
Early teens my favourite bands were Rage Against the Machine, Limp Bizkit and Korn.
Mid-teens: Placebo and Rammstein
Late Teens to now, my favourite band is Pantera.
omg heck yeah
i used to like soft rock and pop =/
then my friend showed me avenged sevenfold and ever since i ditched that stuff and started listening to heavier stuff and now my whole ipod is filled with metal
soo
fall out boy
then..avenged sevenfold
then..bullet for my valentine
now my favorites are..
cradle of filth
lamb of god
shadows fall
as blood runs black
in flames
all shall perish
all that remains
as i lay dying
bury your dead
and a whole lot more =]
keep it loud and heavy! \m/
I might be missing a few and have some out of order, but I know that The Moody Blues were the first band I heard that made me really start thinking about music. Here’s my list:
The Moody Blues
Led Zeppelin
The Doors
Pink Floyd
Emerson, Lake & Palmer
King Crimson
Yes
Metallica
Soundgarden
Dream Theater
Rage Against the Machine
Tool
Audioslave
Porcupine Tree
Spock’s Beard
Transatlantic (current favorite)
GNR
Metallica
Led Zeppelin,Hendrix,AC/DC,ZZ Top
Alice In Chains
Queensryche
Dream Theater
Satriani,Vai….
My list is always changing, But I always come back to Savatage and John Oliva’s other projects.
Nope.
This is why I have equal favourites ~ it takes a heck of a lot for a band or artist to make it onto that list, and currently there are a total of 10 {7 bands, 3 artists}.
In no particular order :~
Fleetwood Mac {1967 – }
Jethro Tull
Mike Oldfield
Blackmore’s Night
Old Blind Dogs
Sandy Denny {including her work with bands}
Capercaillie {incl. Karen Matheson solo}
Dire Straits
Led Zeppelin
Stevie Nicks
The basic requirements are having either all of, or a majority of their music [and actually liking everything I have!], including live albums {and occasionally bootlegs}. But it’s not as simple as that. Each one has to have that extra ‘something’ that makes them stand out and be special, that keeps me coming back to them and leaving me begging for more.
After all, there are a couple of other bands where I have all / most of their albums, but they are just another part of my music collection, not a stand-out.
I will admit to a Guns N’ Roses obsession in my mid-teens, but despite trying to buy everything I could find, they just didn’t have that ‘something’ to make me call them ‘favourite’…
NP : ‘Embryo’ ~ Delerium
Song change : ‘Grave Mentor’ ~ Delerium
My 1st was Nine Inch Nails
2nd was Led Zeppelin
3rd was Job for a Cowboy
then I went back to Led Zeppelin
and now I’m back and forth between Tool and Opeth
So my fav band changes pretty often
Mine don’t tend to change much over the years
Jane’s Addiction
I Mother Earth
Alice In Chains
Rush
The Doors
The Cult
Tool / APC
Soundgarden
The Tea Party
with a bit of Gn’R & Metallica thrown in
metallica stayed with me since about ’87

–those are my 3 go-to bands
my favourite band history goes like this…
buddy holly and the crickets (first tape i ever bought!)
guns n’ roses (‘appetite…’, second tape i ever bought!)
the wildhearts
ministry
I started with bands like Three Days Grace, Breaking Benjamin, etc…..(I don’t feel like writing the bands I was into before that…lol..2 words good charlotte….ewwww….)
Then I got into Disturbed
Then I got into Godsmack (still consider them one of my all time favorite bands)
Then came Pantera (still consider them one of my all time favorites, as well)
Then came Soilwork (which pretty much defines my taste now)
and other bands like Throwdown, Scar Symmetry, The Haunted, etc….
Then I also started getting into more sub-genres of metal, with bands from Hatebreed to Lamb of God to Machinemade God to Threat Signal
Mostly like Melo-death
My currenct obsession is the band Dark Ages….I have already fallen in love with them……
Oh, this’ll be embarrassing.
My Chemical Romance
Say Anything
Gwen Stacy
Carnifex
