Who are your 3 favorite bands/recording artists of all time?

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

I'm sure this will turn into a "that band sucks-fest" but oh well..... the Eagles thread got me wondering....

My three favorite...

1. KISS
2. Alice Cooper
3. U2

[FourTwoOh]

SRV
Aerosmith
The Who

[MOhillbilly]

Jerry Lee Lewis
Luke the Drifter
Sheer Terror

[Soupnazi]

Jimmy Buffett
Toby Keith
Pearl Jam

[HemiEd]

Led Zep
Fleetwood Mac
Steve Miller Band

[dave0320]

Funny, two of mine are the Dead and the Beatles as well. My third is Steve Earle.

I listen to too much music, though, so my "favorite" band changes all the time. I haven't actually put a Dead or Beatles CD into my changer in over a year, but the impact that they had on my course in life gives them hall of fame tenure.

[Nzoner]

ZZ Top

Queen

The Rainmakers

That's kinda the way I looked at it—which band made me look at music differently the first time I heard them.

By that criteria, it was hard to leave Metallica, Led Zeppelin, Bob Marley, Stevie Ray Vaughan and the Beastie Boys off the list.

[dirk digler]

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

I never saw that coming..........

David Bowie

Same for me. I don't constantly listen to any of the three I listed but in the end they're the ones who have had the most influence on my musical tastes and will always have my loyalty... even if they do something that sucks....which has happened in all three cases.

[Simplex3]

In order:

1. Alice in Chains (anything. at all)
2. Stone Temple Pilots (any album before "Four")
3. Ratt (anything before "Way Cool Jr.")

[Morty80]

Metallica
Machinehead
Tool

[ChiefsCountry]

George Strait
Tim McGraw
Garth Brooks

[Baby Lee]

The Beatles
Radiohead
Can't decide between The Band and Guns'n'Roses for the third spot.

[badgirl]

The Who
Lenard Skynard
Areosmith

I have to add another one, sorry, but its
The Doors.

[Braincase]

Joe Satriani
Van Halen
Eric Johnson

[Nzoner]

Same for me. I don't constantly listen to any of the three I listed but in the end they're the ones who have had the most influence on my musical tastes and will always have my loyalty... even if they do something that sucks....which has happened in all three cases.

I listen to select ZZ Top regularly,meaning their 70's bluesy tunes etc.I seldom listen to their big commercial successes like Legs,Sharp Dressed Man etc.

[SCTrojan]

Tough one. I'll go with:

1. Eric Clapton
2. Miles Davis
3. Rolling Stones

I'm sure my answer tomorrow would be different than today.

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

I listen to select ZZ Top regularly,meaning their 70's bluesy tunes etc.I seldom listen to their big commercial successes like Legs,Sharp Dressed Man etc.
I understand that. It seems in many cases that any band that someone calls their favorite of all time isn't their favorite of all time because of commercial succcesses. It seems to be "the other stuff' that really hooks a true fan.

[Saulbadguy]

1. Duke Ellington
2. Count Basie
3. Led Zeppelin

[siberian khatru]

I'm gonna break the rules and expand it to 5:

1. Yes
2. Genesis
3. King Crimson
4. The Who
5. Emerson, Lake & Palmer

[cadmonkey]

1. Alice in Chains
2. Korn
3. Tool

expanded, sorry.....

4. Blind Melon
5. Pink Floyd
6. Primus

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

I'm gonna break the rules and expand it to 5:

[headsnap]

German Industrial

[CosmicPal]

Lenard Skynard


Don't mean to be a dyck, but if Lynyrd Skynyrd is one of your favorite bands, I think you'd know how to spell their name correctly. That's as bad as calling your significant other by the wrong name.

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

Now you're talking,side one to Tales Of Mystery & Imagination,Edgar Allan Poe is my personal fav.
OH GAWD That is a cool album!!! Rep for even knowing about it. "Gaudi" is my personal favorite of theirs.

[whoman69]

Roy Orbison
Creedence Clearwater Revival
Fleetwood Mac

[Mark M]

Some of you still have mullets, don't you?

MM

[CosmicPal]

Grateful Dead
Beatles
Miles Davis

MM
~~:D

A man with good taste. :thumb:

I love Miles, but I'd be pressed to put him in my top three. This poll should be your top five- three is too difficult.

But, as far as I know the bands that have always, always been in my CD rotation are as follows:

The Grateful Dead

The Doors

Pink Floyd

Therefore, they'd have to be my top three. Widespread Panic is becoming one of my favorites, and bands like Railroad Earth and Donna the Buffalo are moving on up as well.

[CoMoChief]

Not in any particular order, but here are mine....
Metallica
Aerosmith
Boyz II Men
Journey (I know this is a 4th pick but you gotta have them in there somewhere)

[DaKCMan AP]

1. Green Day

after them its too damn hard to narrow down between Fleetwood Mac, Pink Floyd, Less Than Jake, Collective Soul, Clapton, The Who, Bob Marley and others..

[Rain Man]

This is really difficult.


Simon & Garfunkel
Bruce Springsteen
Indigo Girls, maybe?

The first two are definitely on there, but there's about a 50-way tie for third.

[Kraut]

1. Led Zeppelin
2. Social Distortion
3. Guns N Roses

[Baby Lee]

This is really difficult.


Simon & Garfunkel
Bruce Springsteen

A friend of mine who has a recording studio snorts at me for liking the Indigo Girls. He says they're trite. There's something about acoustics and good storytelling lyrics that really draws me in, though.


While his work is uneven, I'm a big fan of Ben Folds. Some of his albums are atrocious, but others are amazing.

[Nzoner]

Eagles

Stay away from post #36 on the Eagles thread. :D

[Rain Man]

1. Green Day

after them its too damn hard to narrow down between Fleetwood Mac, Pink Floyd, Less Than Jake, Collective Soul, Clapton, The Who, Bob Marley and others..


Stupid question. Did Green Day do that song that plays on the final episode of Seinfeld. It contains the lyrics "I hope you had the times of your lives" or something like that. I really like that song, but I can never find it in the record store.

(Wow. Perhaps I should stop saying 'record store.' What's the proper term now? Music store? That doesn't sound right.)

Yeah, that's them, except most of the rest of their stuff is faster and punkier. That's their 'every rose has it's thorn.'
It's called 'Good Riddance' and can be found on the 'Nimrod' CD.

[wilas101]

I'll have to go with:

Metallica
Tool
Nine Inch Nails

[Rain Man]

Ah. Thanks. I had heard that it was Green Day, and one of their albums (the most famous one - Dookie? or something?) had a song on it called something like "Time of Your Life" or thereabouts. I bought it, and it definitely wasn't the same song, so I thought maybe it had all been a dream.

[cadmonkey]

Who is KMFDM?


Industrial Rock band. It stands for Kill Mother F*cking Depeche Mode

Yeah -- Good Riddance was on Nimrod which was after Dookie. Not sure which song on Dookie you're talking about though..

The other two are too hard to narrow down, but I'll go with

2. Offspring

1. Parliament/Funkadelic

[bsp4444]

1. Pink Floyd
2. U2
3. Boston

[patteeu]

That was my conclusion after buying that one CD.

You and MOhillbilly must have similar musical tastes.

[Mr. Kotter]

It's difficult to reduce it to three, and I like variety....so if I had to pick:

1. Rolling Stones
2. Prince
3. REM

More modern 'challengers' would be Collective Soul, Eminem, and Outkast. :thumb:

[penchief]

1. Van Morrison
2. David Bowie
3. The Band/Rolling Stones ('67-'72)/Talking Heads/Velvet Underground..........

[NewChief]

It's called 'Good Riddance' and can be found on the 'Nimrod' CD.
It's called "Time of Your Life."

Nope...it would have been whatever is your favorite three are.

:D

[QuikSsurfer]

It's called "Time of Your Life."

No, it's called Good Riddance

[Jenson71]

It's called "Time of Your Life."

It's labeled "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)" on the CD.

Just how much of a Tenenbaum's fan are you? Do you like Anderson's other films? The Life Aquatic is the most entertaining movie I've seen in years...since like...well, The Royal Tenenbaums I guess.

[MOhillbilly]

William Shatner


i really liked that lp he did w/ joe jackson and ben folds five(or whatever there name is)

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

OK...I just couldn't pass up the opportunity to poke you with a stick....

:Poke:

[Rain Man]

There are two songs that are "very similar".... the one that was the hit is "Time of Your Life."

I think that "Time of Your Life" song is that one that duped me on the Dookie album. I figured that was the Seinfeld song, but it wasn't, and it made me both sad and $12 poorer.

[Jenson71]

There are two songs that are "very similar".... the one that was the hit is "Time of Your Life."

The one Rain Man wants is "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)" off Nimrod.

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

It's labeled "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)" on the CD.
There you go..... the "radio version" that we played just had "Time of Your Life" on it. I do remember seeing the words "Good Riddance" on it as we in the video.

So we're both right...... a planet first....!?

[QuikSsurfer]

Biggest wes anderson fan you'll ever know. The Royal Tenebaum's is my number 1 movie of all time.. my second is Rushmore. Bottlerocket was amazing.
I have my copy of The Life Aquatic on preorder.
It's wonderful that 3 of the 4 movies Wes has made is are part of the Criterion Collection.

Yeah, his guys got some special contract deal with Criterion.

The Life Aquatic is my favorite, followed by Royal Tenenbaums, Bottle Rocket, then Rushmore. Anderson is a genius.

My brother watches Tenenbaum's at least once a week.

[Mr. Flopnuts]

Rush

Metallica

in that order

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

[Lzen]

Hmmm,

1. Dream Theater (easy choice)

The rest, I don't know. It depends on the day, month, year. I have tons of bands that I like. It depends on if I'm currently into them a lot. Or maybe if it's a newer cd that I've purchased. Like right now I'm really into Shinedown and Queens of the Stone Age. But that always changes.

DT was an easy choice because they always come out with something that is quality music. And they change their approach/style every album while remaining true to the original DT sound. I am never disappointed in a DT album.

Which song are you speaking of? There isn't a song titled "Time of Your Life" on Dookie. Dookie is a great disc though.

[Baby Lee]

Only thing I could think of is 'when I come around.' But that's not really close, although it is one of their lighter numbers. But that has nothing to do with the title itself.

Ugh!! I'm a rambling b!tch with nothing to offer.

[el borracho]

I can't believe nobody has mentioned Elvis, James Brown or Bob Dylan.

Also somewhat surprised nobody has mentioned Jackson Browne, Willie Nelson, Run DMC, Elton John, Tina Turner, Johnny Cash, or Hank Williams.

I doubt I will ever grow tired of Blood on the Tracks. One of the best albums, ever.

[Rain Man]

Give him a break. The number 3 may have meant something different back in 1958 when he developed his musical tastes.


(I'm throwing stones from a glass house there.)

Yes, that's the Elvii. Unusual pic, I agree. I'm constantly appalled that he doesn't receive more love on the music-related threads here. Totally brilliant musician, IMO...

[penchief]

No problem at all. Just pointing it out.

Favorite Dylan albums:

1. Blood on the Tracks

3. Bringing it All Back Home

My favorite all-time album is Nashville Skyline. I just can't stop singing when I listen to it. My only complaint is that it is about two songs and ten minutes too short.

[penchief]

Yes, that's the Elvii. Unusual pic, I agree. I'm constantly appalled that he doesn't receive more love on the music-related threads here. Totally brilliant musician, IMO...

I've expressed my love for Elvis C. many times. I think he's one of the best songwriters ever, a great storyteller, and a wonderful singer.

holy hell thats alot of thinkin'.
Ya it took about a week. I would mess around with it when I had time here and there. The hard part was narrowing the list to 100...
