[OT] Favorite Band?

[Mathew_Freeman]

I bet we don't get any other votes for them...

Madness.

 

[Falcmir]

I'll add another vote for They Might Be Giants.

 

[Andrew D. Gable]

Too many to name! So I'll break em up to make it easier:

MODERN: Three way tie of Rusted Root/Phish/Tool (Perfect Circle).
90s: Nirvana/Faith No More.
PRE-90s: Pink Floyd/Syd Barrett/Grateful Dead.

For the last couple of years I've really been enjoying the music of the Byrds. Especially recently, as the themes in their music really resonate with the times and all that's going on. Tragedy, hope, love, war, the tension between the spiritual and the material, and all of that - especially hope.

I'll list five (and wait for the inevitable poster who will list a hundred-odd bands to prove how broad his or her musical tastes are).

These are in order.

1. Pixies: Best band ever in my opinion.

2. They Might Be Giants

3. Cake

4. Tom Waits

5. Ministry/Revolting Cocks/rest of that incestuous Chicago industrial cabal
