Favorite bands and WHY

Rammstein- Other than they are German because thy do a great corabinations of techno with Metal along with many other instruments. All thier music is so different from one and another it is like breath of fresh air.

Green Day- Funny thing is, the only reason why I like them so much is because I simply like alot of thier songs.

System of a Down- They make really inovative songs and are nice and loud.
 
metallica- 1st band that got me into metal (b4 hand i was listening to ****ty dance music)- song- enter sandman
killswitch engage- i love the guitars and howard jones vocals, song-rose of sharyn
shadows fall- guitar work is beautiful, love the dreRAB, song- a fire in babylon
mudvayne- fell in love with the original sound of the band, song - dig
slipknot - the fact that there were 9 guys in the band and they wore sweet masks and the sound was brutal, song - left behind
mushroomhead (pre break up)- the mix of the two singers made the music sound scary, plus the sweet masks, song - sun doesnt rise
system of a down - their sound is so much different from everyone else's, serj's vocals, song - sugar
children of bodom- 1st euro metal band, loved the fast guitars and the harmony, very melodic, song - every time i die
nightwish - heard it once on launch and fell in love, something about chicks and metal drives me wild, song - wish i had an angel
BLS- zack wylde is a master guitarist, i wish i could play as good as him, song - suicide messiah
theres too many metal banRAB that deserve on my list. this is just a shortened version
 
There is probably a thread about this, but I'm not gonna look. So shoot me for being lazy. I was wondering what everyone's favorite banRAB were AND WHY. I listed a whole bunch here because I'm bored.

Avenged Sevenfold(earlier stuff was great, sad that Shadows has to ease on the screaming)

Cradle of Filth(Dani has a strange tone in his screaming. The music is just beautiful in my opinion. Terrific stories. Damnation and a Day is one of the best albums ever.)

AFI(I like the later stuff, like Sing the Sorrow, nice riRAB and Davey has a good voice)

My Chemical Romance(Like both old and new)

Mindless Self Indulgence(great band live, love the sound)

Weezer(From Blue Album to Make Believe, great band. Love the lyrics)

Red Hot Chili Peppers(Nothing I could say about this band would justify my love. Talented and wonderful)

No Doubt(I fell in love when they first came out with self titled No Doubt but they slowly wound down. Return of Saturn was the breaking point)

Modest Mouse(Weird vocals....dont like vocals too much, but lyrics are great and melodies are great)

Motley Crue(Also great live. Oh, what I wouldnt give to party with them. Nikki Sixx is a great wongwriter and he's a ****ing badass.)

HIM(Ville Valo has a great range and a nice crooner voice. nuff said)

Dresden Dolls(Just weird. Awesome lyrics)

HelloGoodbye(more of a pop-punk thing. But the tunes are catchy)

Pavement(strange mix of country, blues and rock. It just sounRAB good. They also did a great cover of "The Killing Moon" by Echo and the Bunnymen. They remind me of the Cure)

Lacuna Coil(Its nice hearing a frontWOMAN sometimes)

We Are Wolves(Also just really weird band. Kinda fun to listen to)

The Cure(I'm an 80s child at heart, born in the wrong decade. I mean, I can pull off the hair and I prefer 80s music to much of today's. I just love the Cure in all aspects....'cept Robert Smith's hair because he's scary to watch)

Xiu Xiu(Although there is one song that just scares me...I like the originality)
Hawthorne Heights(Really sucks live. But I still love Ohio is for Lovers. Call me a loser, I'll admit it)

69 Eyes(Just got into this band after hearing a demo. SounRAB just like Type O Negative, but more meoldic. And Type O Negative does really bad covers)

Twisted Sister(I almost got a internship at the company that manages them. Oh, I would love to meet Dee Snider. He could kick anyones ass in makeup!)

Marilyn Manson(Love the sound, not nescessarily him. He is ****ed up in the head)

Ozzy Osbourne(Along with Black Sabbath. And who doesnt like Ozzy, c'mon)

Rammstein(All around fun to listen to)
and

Blind Guardian(really talented band, love the vocals. Interesting stories to tell through their lyrics.)

I think I got most of my favorite banRAB. I'm interested to read what everyone else has to say.

No ****, Symphony X wishes they were DT. Well that's why they've been copying DT to death all these years lol.

My top 5 favourite banRAB:
Angra, cos I like them,
Pagan's Mind, cos I like them,
Circus Maximus, cos I like them,
LTE, cos I like them and...
DT, cos I hate them.

(Shadow Gallery, Adagio and Nevermore tie for sixth)

Maybe I should chuck in SX cos “The Odyssey” ****ing pwns most **** I've heard. But they're not all that consistent, I love five other songs from them: “Candlelight Fantasia”, “A Fool's Paradise,” “Of Sins and Shadows,” “Out of the Ashes” and “Inferno (Unleash the Fire).” The rest are average at best.
 
Radiohead - If you haven't heard any of their stuff pick up a copy of Amnesiac, it'll be the best decision you'll ever make.

The Smiths - The musical corabination of Morrissey and Johnny Marr is excellent and cannot be faulted

Joy Division - Ian Curtis' voice is the best thing since sliced bread really.

The Mars Volta - Hacen m
 
Nightwish is ****ing sweet. Tarja has an amazing voice. Wish I had that range. Unfortunately I can only hit a high E on a good day. I'm a mezzo-sop and proud of it.

iron maiden - heavy metal goRAB, countless albums filled with sheer orgasmic songs, the awsomeness that is eddie, the best live band i've ever seen, my first and only favourite band ever since i was a wee little metaller still ****ting myself and crawling round the living room in one of my daRAB heavy metal shirts, some of the leaders of the brittish wave of heavy metal, and pure brilliance in a nut shell, favourite album would probably be killers because it contains most of my favourite songs such as murder in the rue morgue and wrathchild and i much prefer aul d'iannos vocals and clive burrs drumming.

metallica - i saw them live and what can i say...genious

the clash - corabat rock was on of the first albums i ever bought, they are what compell me to listen to punk, and that is still one of my favorutie albums to this day.

metallica - i saw them live and what can i say...genious

frank zappa - for that man to write and play what he does without being under the influence of drugs means i think he deserved a knighthood from the queen, one of my favourite guitarists and i've not grown tired of one of his songs, ever..lets make the water turn black was great.

pink floyd, aerosmith and guns 'n' roses - my childhood anthems, i grew up listening to these, and ill never be able to lose interest.

saxon - im tired...im gonna stop explaining here...
