| shorttie User Info... | In the last few years I have steped outside my music comfort zone and really started to listen to alot of different genres of music. Just curious about other peoples tastes....... If you had to pick 1 favorite Artist any genres who would it be? Why? - Tue, 16 Oct 2007 8:11pm | ||
| T. Depression User Info... | The Cramps (up until their "Stay Sick" album) have been my favorite band for the past 22 years. To me, they were everything a punk-rock band should be...and they turned me unto two decades of pre-punk music that I probably wouldn't have discovered for years, without them. Because of the Cramps, I was scouring my parents old records for killer 60's garage and early Rockabilly records, at the same time I was buying punk and hardcore records. They also tought me the importance of a little noise in music. Bryan Gregory and Kid Congo Powers guitar bits were just as essential to the Cramps as Ivy's. I'll admit it...I haven't pulled out a Cramps record in a few years (even though I used to have about 75 of 'em)...and it saddens me to see what they've become over the past 15 years...but they are still my fave. - Tue, 16 Oct 2007 8:23pm | ||
| Hang the DJ User Info... | The Smiths. Of course. - Tue, 16 Oct 2007 8:32pm | ||
| Doc User Info... | I like the Scorpions. If I had to pick one band as the most influential on me that would be it. ~My God is bigger than your God Doc - Wed, 17 Oct 2007 12:32am Edited: Wed, 17 Oct 2007 12:34am | ||
| Nicholas Antoni Marek Gibas User Info... | The Smashing Pumpkins The first band to get me into music. Period. - Wed, 17 Oct 2007 12:46am | ||
| trevor corey User Info... | Neil Young ........because he's Neil Young. - Wed, 17 Oct 2007 12:51am | ||
| Ty Stranglehold User Info... | SNFU because when I discovered them in 1986, they embodies everything that I thought punk rock should sound, look and feel like. - Wed, 17 Oct 2007 1:32am | ||
| KnifeGhost User Info... | The Cure is my favourite band of all time, but Neil Young has been the biggest influence on me. And Jane Siberry (mid-80s). - Wed, 17 Oct 2007 2:19am | ||
| Rawb User Info... | I love so many bands (Misfits, Black Flag, TSAR, Led Zeppelin...) but there is one band that is at the the top that all other bands should be measured by: The Beatles. - Wed, 17 Oct 2007 9:01am | ||
| Chopper User Info... | Tossup between Bauhaus and Siouxsie and the Banshies. They were, and still are, major influences for me. Started listening to them in highschool (79-80) and their music just doesn't get old for me. Was lucky enough to see Bauhaus' 25th anniversary tour, in Vancouver a couple years back. I can now die a happy man. - Wed, 17 Oct 2007 10:43am | ||
| tom User Info... | Great question. It was Jimi Hendrix that made me and still makes me want to play music any time I hear those records. Strange as it seems, though, Green Day I think is the one band that's influenced me in so many ways. To have seen them at the Beacon Hill band shell for the first time back in '91, loved the music, bought the compilation CD from the singer and had a few beers with them to discover they were really cool guys, certainly was a huge influence and still drives me to write, play and tour (where possible). - Wed, 17 Oct 2007 10:44am | ||
| Soap Dodger User Info... | If there was any doubt, Radiohead just crushed it with the release of In Rainbows (but really there wasn't ever any doubt). - Wed, 17 Oct 2007 12:50pm | ||
| Swingin' Joe User Info... | The greatest rock and roll band in the world....The Rolling Stones. Uh oh. - Wed, 17 Oct 2007 12:59pm | ||

| Cody User Info... | Pink Floyd - Thu, 18 Oct 2007 12:05am | ||
| Danielle User Info... | I think that Pink Floyd - "The Wall" is the best lyrical masterpiece of the 20th century. - Thu, 18 Oct 2007 2:44am | ||
| mica User Info... |  this is the greatest single lyric since the cretaceous–tertiary extinction event, never mind the last century: I like your pants around your feet And I like the dirt that's on your knees And I like the way you say please While you're looking up at me You're like my favorite damn disease "favorite damn disease" that shit is off the hook! he could have said "you're like my favorite damn ginseng tea or even a shot of damn wild turkey. he had so many "e" based rhyming metaphors to choose from, but he obviously knew that they would have come across as childish, classless and perhaps even a little disrespectful in his portrayal of a sexual encounter, somewhere out there, in the dirt. all hail, chad kroeger - Thu, 18 Oct 2007 1:41pm | ||
| mica User Info... | seriously though, fleetwood mac in the peter green era, emmylou harris, zep, bob marley and radiohead are my top five. - Thu, 18 Oct 2007 1:55pm | ||

| Hang the DJ User Info... | Other than The Smiths.. Strapping Young Lad, Radiohead or The Cure. But The Smiths come up on top.. Tool's actually pretty high up there too which is why I'm uber stoked for the concert. When I was a kid, Crowded House, Oasis, Bob Marley, The Clash, Big Audio Dynamite + RHCP are what I grew up listening to in elementary school and I must admit have been very influential even if I'm not such a fan anymore.. Which I am, of most... Seriously I just got back into Crowded House and the memories are flooding in.. - Fri, 19 Oct 2007 10:39am | ||
| Tyler User Info... | it's always hard to pick favourites. Some bands, artists, or composers I've liked for a long time are: -Jamiroquai -Yasuaki Fujita, also known as Bun Bun (wrote nintendo music like the Megaman 3 soundtrack) -Cannonball Adderley (alto sax player, you might know him from Miles Davis - Kind of Blue) -Bela Bartok I've also fallen into a smattering of intense interests over the last five years. I'm only 19, so this pretty much covers the musical exploration that most people experience as they pass through their teenage years, something I expect to stick with me. These bands include: -Orchid (the amazing works of art, DIY ethic, extreme passion, and retaining of powerful and unique music) -Zombie Zombie (so ridiculous and fun, I wish more bands would try to fuse and create genres without sucking) -Champion (they embody the spirit of hardcore I believe in) -Comeback Kid (this was one of my stepping stones into hardcore and the album Turn It Around is something I still love after hearing hundreds of times) also, I gotta say that mica's post was hilarious. so good. comfortably dumb, hahaha. - Fri, 19 Oct 2007 12:21pm Edited: Fri, 19 Oct 2007 12:21pm | ||
| Hang the DJ User Info... | ATTENTION! If anyone is willing to sell me floor seats, I will pay you 50 bucks more than the ticket price. Please! I'm begging you. I'm so upset right now. There were complications with the site. I had floor seats, and then... just wasn't allowed to get them. I don't have a credit card and was going to use someone else's who told me that all the credit info was already stored on the site. They are in Hawaii right now and I have no way to contact them. As soon as you hear of someone who doesn't want their tickets (hopefully floor) or if you don't want yours or can't go etc etc, please contact me! [email protected] 598-3041 I really haven't been this upset in a long time. I wanted to go so badly :( - Fri, 19 Oct 2007 12:45pm | ||
| Hang the DJ User Info... | for the Tool concert. FUck. I'm sooo fucking mad fucjkkkkckdxlksdlkjfjlkdsfds - Fri, 19 Oct 2007 12:45pm | ||
| Josh Rosario User Info... | Tool. - Fri, 19 Oct 2007 1:27pm | ||
| Hang the DJ User Info... | "Tool's actually pretty high up there too which is why I'm uber stoked for the concert." Which I won't be going to seeing as how I'm ticket-less. I knew I should've camped out in the cold + rain for tickets.. - Fri, 19 Oct 2007 2:50pm | ||
| Jeremy Baker User Info... | Hang The DJ, I just downloaded some Crowded House off the iTunes machine the other day (well back in September)... I must say, I like their style. I like The Naitonal. Growing up, it was Alice in Chains, Smashing Pumpkins and REM. - Fri, 19 Oct 2007 4:26pm | ||
| stew User Info... | Converge had the biggest influence on me, but while growing up, listening to bands like Pink Floyd, the Beatles, Van Morrisson, Neil Young etc. with my pops were all huge favorites. - Fri, 19 Oct 2007 4:49pm | ||
| gene User Info... | LIKE THE MAN SAID BLACK SABBATH! - Fri, 19 Oct 2007 10:58pm | ||
| Zedius User Info... | I'm pretty stoked about this thread. Seems most people here have pretty fantastic taste. I think for me the smashing pumpkins, skinny puppy, and sonic youth are all tied. There is a lot of more classic music that I love, but it doesn't speak to me the same way. Edit: I might have to add T Rex and Mother Love Bone to the list... - Sat, 20 Oct 2007 1:24pm Edited: Sat, 20 Oct 2007 1:25pm | ||

| Aidan Logins User Info... | The Beatles. Because I can remember the instant that I Am the Walrus blew my mind when I was only five years old (or maybe still 4 I dunno) And I listened to it a thousand times that week until I knew it inside and out. And ever since then I was hellbent on finding new sounds. After that I couldn't really listen to Black Sabbath much. But I got back into that later. Beatles started my music interest. Thanks dad. - Mon, 22 Oct 2007 1:48pm | ||
