Cannibal Corpse- Technically brilliant

Decapitated- Superb riffage

Gorgoroth Superb black metal

Lamb Of God Catchy heavy and clever lyrics

Metallica The band that got me into metal music

Pantera Such a tight band musically

Finially got why done lol

to Pipers, when you make long list, it helps to break things up. It becomes easier to read. :)

Between the Buried and Me - Technically superb and one of the truly original bands performing today. The guitar work of Paul Waggoner is absolutly amazing and the rest of the band is top notch. Every one of their 3 albums is different and inventive. Amazing band.

With Passion - Sheer inventiveness. And now that they recruited the guitarist from Conducting From The Grave IT'LL ONLY GET FASTER!

Genghis Tron - techno meets hardcore. I'll say nothing more

Blind Guardian- They combine all sorts of old school metal, and a bit of blues too. They also sing about LOTR, which is why I got into them...

Oh yeah, how could I forget Blind Guardian. They are very talented! And I love the lord of the rings song. Its silly.

I fixed this one, cause I went back and realized it was kinda jumbled. Thanks for pointing that out.

i think the same thing.

my list for now:

Sunny Day Real Estate:
they really know how to rock there instruments. the lead singer has a very different type of voice, and knows how to write good/great songs. this band pulls me in.

Alkaline Trio:
this band, is a perfect mix of punk, and pop.. there's no post hardcore or anything here. there songs go from being really personal and heart hitting to really down right stupid and funny. these three guys really know how to get there fans attention with there fun music.

Pink Floyd:
Dare i say it.. cause of there MANY amazing albums with all those amazingly writen songs.. to david gilmore guitar playing, and i dare not forget Rogers voice.. as well as whne David and Roger sing together (same time) when there voices mix its amazing, very good sound.

Judas Priest:
Rob's voice, his writings are great. Some of there songs start to sound the same after a while but i love there songs either way.. this band is amazing and really knows what there at in the metal scene.. they always catch my eye just when i expect to lose interest.

Led Zeppelin:
this band is the perfect mix of blues/pop/rock and a little hint of country here and there.. but together makes songs like All of my Love, Dy'er M'aker, tangerine, Houses of the Holy.. there sound doesn't seem awkward to me.. like Bright Eyes, he/them/that band seem to go all over many type of music aswell BUT! there music actaully changes.. like it seems like a totally different band to me. With Zeppelin its more like you can always tell your listening to them.. the way Boham was playing the drums, the way the base and guitar was being playing.. to Robert Plants amazing voice.. it was so easy for me to fall in love with this bad growing up.

thats it for now..

Lard- Just got into them by recomendation of MURDER JUNKIE. I like hearing Jello with a driving guitar and drums behind him.

Dead Milkmen- Just got into them also. The humor is great, but they do have some serious songs.

Big Black- I love noise, so of course I'm going to love this band.

Goon- Finnish Ska, it may be a gimmik but it is a hella good one.

Robert Johnson- All his songs he sounds like he is singing from his soul and just puts everything into them

Reverend Horton Heat- Rockabilly+Psychobilly and then there is the fact that The Rev. is an insanely smooth guitarist and Jimbo is a great bassist. Also they have a great humor about them.

I'll stop there.

Children of Bodom-I love the keyboards and Laiho is awesome. (&This was the first band that got me into metal.)
Light This City- I like the vocals. Very nice.(for a female)
Diabolical Masquerade-mind blowing. It is the sex

ohh and i forgot..



Liquid Tension Experiment-John Petrucci. Enough said.

iron maiden - heavy metal gods, 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 dads 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.

the clash - combat 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...

Primal Scream - Musical diversity with a rock n roll attitude

Motorhead - Pure rock n roll played at brute force by a guy who`s seen it all & done it all

Nick Drake - Has more raw emotion in his toenail than a million emo bands have in their collective bodies.

David Bowie - Could turn his hand to any musical genre and do it better than most others , and still make it sound like himself

Super Furry Animals - If there was a genre called Prog Pop they invented it

Rolling Stones - Between 1968 & 1972 no band on earth could touch them.Not even the Beatles.

Radiohead - Never failed to impress me yet , if I don`t like a Radiohead song then i`m the one at fault not them , I can`t say that about any other band.

The Fall - 28 years of Mark E Smith singlemindedly doing what the f*ck he likes and not apologising , not conforming & not letting a single factor get in the way of his message , not even other band members.I don`t like all they`ve done by a long shot but when they`re good nobody can touch them.

Ah so that completes the Urban 100 then.

Not that far off actually , although it`s not in order :p:

Pantera - America's finest, so many bitching songs. Favourite song - Domination.

Tool - Champion band, rather then a band of champions. Favourite song - Third Eye

Porcupine Tree - The music is hard, soft, it's all about the Space effects and I love it. Favourite song - Trains

Kyuss - I love the bass drenched rock, and the vocals are perfect. Methodical love. Favourite song - Gloria Lewis. No, Size Queen. No, Phototropic. I can't do it.

Motorhead - I love Lemmy's vocals, Phil Taylor is one seriously underated drummer. Favourite song - Born To Raise Hell

Clutch - Strong vocals and I like the originality and power displayed by them. Favourite song - The Mob Goes Wild.

I should send you Primal Screams cover of Motorhead.
I never thought in a million years i`d hear someone take one of Lemmys songs and make it even noisier.

Heck, why not send me a Primal Scream album while we're at it:D

My imported Ltd edition Japanese Live album will blow your ears off ;)

Agreed. Maiden own. I actually prefer Di'anno's vocals too.
Metallica are also amazing.

I have to add

Megadeth- Amazing guitar work, original songs, and Dave Mustaine.

Dream Theater- My favourite progressive band. Every member is extremely talented.

Rush, Priest, and loads more I can't be bothered typing right now.

DT :eek: ^Im just kidding

And my favourite bands right now are

The Mars Volta - Both Omar and cedric are genious and i love the originality

Symphony X - Michael romeo is one of the most talented people in music right now IMO and everyone in te band has such technical skills...Russel Allan has amazing vocals and all around the compose sooo well..

Coheed and Cambria - I have just lately gotten into them and just love the...Claudio writes the coolest riffs and i love his vocals

King Crimson - One of the best prog bands of all time..All that needs to be said

Rocky Votolato - I love his voice and his lyrics are great...he is a very talented indavidual

There are many more ...ill add them another time

:mad:








:rofl:

yeah from all I've heard Symphony X are pretty good, but being a DT fan my taste sucks anyway, right? :)

Well...lets put it this way....Symphony X is all DT can ever dream to be....check them out

Symphony X IS amazing. But I just couldnt get too into them while listening to Blind Guardian and Sonata Arctica at the same time. I dont think I could handle three bands that sound the same.

:confused: Are you joking....Symphony X and Blind Guardian sound nothing alike....i am huge into both of those bands and my god they're quite different....BG being Epic/melodic metal and symphony X being just progressive metal....it must have just slipped your mind :rolleyes:

I've got about 9 of their songs and they're really good, but not as good as DT.:p:

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 bands:
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.

:laughing:

Symphony X sound like DT in the same way Dimmu Borgir sound like The Cars.

When did I say SX sound like DT? What I meant was they stole many ideas and concepts from them. They even admit it in tons of interviews.

Dream Theater - complex as hell, but still has a strong melodic discography in Images and Words and Awake.

Ozzy Osbourne - Randy Rhodes rocked.

System of a Down - Extremely simple guitars, but the vocals are exceptionally engaging.

Queen - Obvious.

:love:

I thinks the vocals are one of the factors that differ between the bands the most

I don't personally think DT and SX sound that similar, but it does seem to be a common comparison to make, and they are both progressive metal bands, so Pipers isn't totally wrong.

he wasnt comparing those two bands......he said that blind guardian and symphony X sound exactly the same
