How could Snow Patrol be one of the worst bands in the world they are brilliant

I just can't stand them. Trite and bland, and annoying -- but that's just my opinion. I know I'm into music a lot of other people don't like. One of my favorite artists is Tom Waits: a few years ago at Christmas my dad bought my sister and I each a Tom Waits album (she loves him too). My grandmother looked at them and asked, "Tom Waits...is that music?" To which my sister aptly replied, "That depends on who you ask!"

AC/DC







Pink Floyd/Led Zeppelin/Deep Purple

Tenacious D

You really can't count Floyd, Zeppelin and Deep Purple as one band you know

 

[CommanderRaytas]

Oh yeah I forgot Queen, the Kaiser Chiefs, Blind Guardian, Depeche Mode and Duran Duran. I love eighties music. My mum used to play Depeche Mode and Duran Duran to me when I was little.

 

[QuasarVM]

Duran Duran is a vastly underrated band...and they are still producing interesting music.

 

[CommanderRaytas]

Really? I only really know the eighties stuff... my mother was a huge fan of theirs and kept playing their stuff to me when I was a child. I love it.

 

[JiNX-01]

Creedence Clearwater Revival

To CommanderRaytas --

Yep, Duran just did an album with Justin Timberlake and Timbaland a couple of years ago and are in the studio now working on an album with Mark Ronson that is supposed to be more like their Rio album...

I like "Human" too. It's reminiscent of this 80s classic: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9foZ7KVSng

Yeah I love the black metal and death metal scene.

 

[HappyDayRiot]

I forgot In Flames - one of my favourite metal bands for many years now. I don't mind a lot of the newer stuff but there's no denying they're gone way, way downhill since 2004 (I love that any given fan will say the slide began in any year between 1997 and 2008 though haha). Dead End, Sleepless Again and Tilt are great songs from the dry years.
