[AnarchistFish]

Gonna order it cos yolo

1. Godspeed You! Black Emperor (Saw them live last week and decided on the spot once and for all this is the best band that has ever lived)
2. Slipknot (Before that, these guys were my #1 for a long long while until I realised I rarely listen to them anymore, but still, for old time's sake)
3. Brand New
4. Bring Me The Horizon
5. Rammstein (Don't really listen to these guys much anymore either)
6. Burial
7. The Weeknd
8. Bon Iver (Could easily be higher if they had more material released)
9. Gallows
10. Architects (Have unfortunately kinda gone to shit recently)
11. Converge
12. Deftones
13. Glassjaw

Gonna have 13 cos Converge, Deftones and Glassjaw deserve mentions. Over the past couple of years, my favourite bands have definitely been GY!BE, Brand New, Burial, The Weeknd and Bon Iver. Slipknot and Rammstein were my old favourite bands and each band below 8th have albums I love, but blotches in their discography that I don't enjoy as much.

Lustmord

Oh man his collab with Robert Rich is one of those albums that gives me feelings like no other. I feel consumed and lost in a barren, dark, humid and claustrophobic world. I deliberately don't check my iPod for the song names or to see where I am in the album cos I love that feeling of mystery and void. Such underrated music.

Yes the Stalker inspired album really is something although right now I can't even tell if they have any other full albus together.

[FolkLikePanda]

In order with favourite song and if I've seen them:

1) AC/DC - "Touch Too Much" - Want to see
2) Led Zeppelin - "Ramble On" - Unlikely to see
3) Frank Zappa (& The Mothers, just sneaking 'em in) - "Muffin Man" - Want to see Zappa Plays Zappa
4) Iron Maiden - "Aces High" - Seen
5) Pantera - "Mouth For War" - More or less impossible to see, though they could get someone like Zakk Wylde to play guitar though it will never be the same without Dimebag
6) Black Sabbath - "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" - Seen (excluding Bill Ward)
7) Van Halen - "Somebody Get Me A Doctor" - Want to see
8) Rush - "2112" - Seen
9) Deep Purple - "Burn" - Want to see
10) Medadeth - "Holy Wars" - Seen twice

Mentions: Airbourne, Metallica, Anthrax, Queen, Pearl Jam, Jimi Hendrix, The Doors, The Jam, The Beatles, Thin Lizzy (not in order)

 

[CarolusRex]

Did you see them at Soundwave this year by any chance? And yes, I caught them at the Sydney Soundwave show. Probably one of the best bands I have ever seen live.

Nah, I live in New Zealand so we don't get Soundwave down here. System had their own show here and Dillinger was their opening act. Was pretty badass, they were climbing up their amps, jumping around and all that other nonsense. Was a shame there wasn't that many people there to appreciate them, but I can understand because barely anybody knows who they are down here in NZ. Hopefully touring with System got them a bit more publicity.

 

[Flamezdudes]

In no particular order.

Radiohead
Red Hot Chili Peppers
The White Stripes
The Smiths
Frank Sinatra
Nobuo Uematsu and all his associated works including The Black Mages and Distant Worlds. (Does he count?)
Justice
Sigur Ros'
Aphex Twin
Nirvana

Just the music I listen to the most and who I like the most, none of them are really my number one favourite but they're my top ten.

 

[SidheKnight]

Don't pay much attention to the order, it's kinda rushed.

1) Sonata Arctica
2) Nightwish
3) Rammstein
4) Kotiteollisuus
5) The Offspring
6) Children of Bodom
7) Linkin Park
8) Iron Maiden
9) Daft Punk
10) Pendulum

 

[BestOfWest]

Weezer
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Bombay Bicycle Club
Velvet Revolver

Soul Coughing

Couldn't think of anymore bands that I really liked.
