Top 25 Favorite Bands

[the_tic_begins]

@the_tic_begins that is probably the most diverse list i've seen. from jewel & tori to burzum & agoraphobic nosebleed. a very wide range in taste.

I tend to like artists over genres. Love Jewel and could recite the lyrics to any song but dont listen to any other pop apart from Gaga. Same goes for a band like CC, yet i cant stand most Death metal.

[Sutekh]

borderline heresy that you've purposefully discarded ....AJFA. that album is amazing and arguably the band at their peak.

You know what, it is a bit harsh. I actually prefer ajfa to rtl. I'm feeling charitable atm so I think I would extend it to side a of the black album

It took me a little while to narrow it all down and it's still kind of off the cuff.

...Aaaand I've just realized I forgot to put Type O in there so off to fix it I go.

FWIW it's a decision I'm fairly secure in. I love 'em, they're still above god knows how many other acts in my book: Tool, QOTSA, Fear Factory, Johnny Cash ain't up there either and I love those guys to bits...I could probably make a list that goes up to fifty.

Well, you keep saying that it's up to me

The first time I put TATW on I was floored. Early singles, Paint Your Wagon and Nothing Wrong are great too. I'm amazed they never got bigger than they did, discovered them through some Sisters fanbase gossip in fact.
