I saw 311 live. Pretty awesome, and the drummer played an insane drum solo. Creatures and Down were pure awesome. \m/

Sublime's great. So many classic songs, and IMO Bradley's underrated as a guitarist. Same in the End is probably my favorite tune. I never got the chance to see Sublime live (was still young when Bradley died) but I saw Fishbone live and they played an awesome cover of Date Rape. \m/

The Flaming Lips are pretty great. So far I've only heard Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots. Some great songs on there, especially Don't You Realize, which is absolutely heart-wrenching. I once saw Beck live and they he actually played an acoustic cover of Don't You Realize. Was so beautiful...

Jane's Addiction is great. Ritual De Lo Habitual is just a kickass record.

I like Modest Mouse. Some really great songs, and I probably need to get more of their music.

Cake's great. I'm an oddling in that my favorite album of theirs is actually Pressure Chief. But what can I say? Wheels, Carbon Dioxide, all all the other tracks are just such perfect pop-rock. And End of the Movie is so poignantly simple yet beautiful. I also saw Cake live. \m/

Anyways, I have hundreds of favorite bands, as well as tons of artists that aren't in the rock genre, so it'd be impossible for me to list 'em. I'll just respond to whatever interesting bands are mentioned here.

You are the freakin' man. I missed my chance to see 311 live. I'm a Florida boy and they were down a month ago for Langerado (sp?), but I heard they're pretty sweet in the flesh.

Lincoln Highway Dub is my personal favorite from Sublime...totally badass. Nowell may have passed but he lives on in spirit. Lou dog just may be the coolest dalmation of all time.

I'm not so much into later Flaming Lips. I like their early sound, it's...I dunno how to put it into words. "Be My Head", "Bad Days", and of course "She Don't Use Jelly" are real wonky, weird, cool songs.

I like Jane's Addiction, but only really 'cause of Perry Farrell. That guy has the funkiest singing voice.

Cake's the shit. 'Nuff said. Anways, I'm sure you've got SOME bands that you put ahead of others, so let 'em rip, brotha.

at one of the only two concerts I've been to in my life, Edgefest, I saw cake get pelted off stage with water bottles . Never really heard much from cake but they barely got through their first song. They were scheduled to play for an hour too so ya it was kinda lame that we have to just sit there waiting for the next band lol

How lame. =[


Why'd they get pelted? Was the audience just rowdy, or did the audience not like the music?

yeah, that's them! i love the last waltz, it's probably my favourite film.

I think it was just because Edgefest tends to be more hard rock related, so I guess the crowd just wasn't cake fans

They seemed a bit out of place there to me to be honest, and they gave em a full hour before the headline group, which I thought was a little excessive

I also like 311...though I couldn't really make Langerado, or hardly any shows now, with a full time job at night.

A couple bands I'm into now:
Darkest Hour (I was in the moshpit!)
Spoon
Sixx AM --never really a Crue fan but this new band rocks
Several drum 'n bass groups
(that nobody's probably heard of lol)

Just a few of the bands who's music I've been enjoying lately:

Dark Fortress
Fragments of Unbecoming
Edge of Sanity
Gojira
Heaven Shall Burn
Meshuggah
Naglfar
Solitude Aeternus
Cavalera Conspiracy
Dark Tranquillity

Got similar music taste? I love talking about music, so drop me a note!

Bands I am fond of:

Air
Weezer
Muse
Radiohead
Pink Floyd
Green Day
Beatles
Ratatat
Midlake
Boards of Canada

... and stuff like that.

I regularly listen to Depeche Mode, Evanescence, Linkin Park, Atreyu, Three Days Grace, Kill Hannah, Seether, Avril Lavigne, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Nirvana, NIN, Dixie Chicks, Enya, and Flyleaf.

Of course there's a hundred other bands I listen to, but over the course of a week I'll listen to 90% of the bands listen there. So, those are my favorites, definitely not in any specific order.
