Best Band of This Generation?

[Keagan2387]

Who do you think people will look back and say is one or some of the best bands of this generation? I would have to say The Mars Volta, and Coheed and Cambria. Their music is just superior in my view to most of the music out today. What bands you guys think?

They are quite superior.

I guess I can't just say things I like the sound of but

Technically speaking : Dream theater , and rush have to be the most skilled bands that are currently active

Though I imagine in like 2050 the 00's CD collections will be packed with fallout boy and friends , cause thats just how it is you know?

[Rev0lver]

the fall of troy
the mars volta
the human abstract
protest the hero

[BobLoblaw]

Animal Collective is the best band of this generation, though that doesn't nessercarily mean they'll be looked back on as the best band of this generation.

Cool, someone finally agrees.

[FunkaTrunk]

Lordi, they've got great sound, and are world known.

And Buckethead! His music awesome

[DIEGOROBOT26]

Coheed
Mars Volta
Buckethead

Everyone made good choices, Rush is amazing for still doing what they do and I respect them a lot. Specially after seeing them live two weeks ago :cool:

[tmanrocks]

2 of you said buckethead and I'd like to say

He is good at guitar but... there doesn't seem to be much else going for his band >_>; so how can his band be the best?

[Keagan2387]

haha wow I'm surprised to see so many people saying Big B, I love it:cool:

[HardRockerBrazil]

Well, I dunno. I'm not really into new rock. Even though I like Foo Fighters, but they're already in the game.

[newwaytodie]

Coheed and Cambria are amazing. They march to the beat of their own drum for sure. No question about originality or talent. Fires on all cylinders. They definitely qualify as one of the best bands of the 00's for me. But the decade aint over yet and I'm hoping that some more awesome original bands make themselves known.

[monlienNH3]

Two bands I wish people would look back and say were great from this generation:
1. Mars Volta
2. Arctic Monkeys

Unfortunately, not enough people know about or listen to either one - especially Mars Volta. I told all my friends 2 years ago that I was going to buy them all "Frances the Mute" for xmas - since they refused to give it a chance. I didn't do it, but I should have. More than likely people will remember whatever was popular as opposed to what was good. For instance, people only know Faith No More for "Epic" which is a shame.

[Rev0lver]

um.... the mars volta is unpopular? The Widow was all over the radio and MTV a couple years ago, and i remember hearing L'via L'viaquez every time i went to the hard rock cafe.

[Keagan2387]

um.... the mars volta is unpopular? The Widow was all over the radio and MTV a couple years ago, and i remember hearing L'via L'viaquez every time i went to the hard rock cafe.

They are very big in the "scene" world. But I don't get why, their music is so unique from every other band out now. It doesn't make a lot of sense. But I think he means they should be known more then they already are. Like front runner of rock music for the generation. A poster child if you would like to call it. But sadly they wont be known as that.

[Rev0lver]

i'm not saying they're as popular as MCR or Green Day, but a hell of alot more popular than some other very talented bands.

[monlienNH3]

um.... the mars volta is unpopular? The Widow was all over the radio and MTV a couple years ago, and i remember hearing L'via L'viaquez every time i went to the hard rock cafe.

Maybe I haven't been paying attention but has anything off of "Amputechture" been getting any play. Or maybe I'm just surrounded by uncool people who don't appreciate good music. I'm not a good reference for what gets airplay. I don't listen to radio and I quit watching music video channels since they stopped playing music videos. What I'm asking is if they've had more national exposure since "The Widow"? As I referenced earlier, FNM is still played all the time with "Epic", but they had other singles and other music videos, yet very few average people consider FNM one of the greatest bands of the late 80's/early 90's like I do. I feel The Mars Volta will suffer the same fate, but I think they're incredible.

Edit: However, I'm glad to hear they are more popular than I was aware of.

[newwaytodie]

Faith No More was dubbed as a one hit wonder from what I remember.

[monlienNH3]

Faith No More was dubbed as a one hit wonder from what I remember.

Yes. That's the point. A lot of people - myself included - think they are one of the greatest bands of the 90's if not ever. And I was making a comparison between The Mars Volta's popularity and Faith No More's in the early 90's. Just because you get 2 good years of exposure doesn't mean the mainstream/average music listener is going to remember you 50 years down the road - or even 5 years.

Sorry for getting this thread sidetracked. I had no idea that I would create such a debate by saying The Mars Volta aren't popluar enough to be remembered by the mainstream. No one wants to debate The Arctic Monkeys' popularity?

[Rev0lver]

well, arctic monkeys are pretty popular from what i know over in england. not as much here in america, much like Muse.

[Keagan2387]

I love faith no more, they are so much deeper then epic.

[benjamin]

Reel Big Fish.

Ska is so underappreciated.

[Kutsic]

In Flames
Dimmu Borgir
Opeth
Dark Tranquillity
Agalloch

your wrong.

[BarryC]

your wrong.

Fragpirate? More like Buttpirate. At least put why you don't think so instead of flaming him.

Linkin Park is pretty successful for this generation, sales-wise. They sold millions of albums and have one of the best selling albums in the world.

Pfsh, AMEN!! Finally, someone with some sense! I have to admit, I always change the channel when Coheed and Cambria come on my beloved Sirius Satellite Radio. They remind me of a very crappy version of Rush. The instrumentals are fine, but the dudes high-toned warbly voice is horrid. The Mars Volta is listenable, but meh. Opeth though, they're actually doing something amazing and profound musically. Dark Tranquillity too, although their songs get a little repetitive, but who cares since they sound so good.

[HardRockerBrazil]

I love faith no more, they are so much deeper then epic.

Oh-ho my God, my thoughts exactly. I just love The Real Thing in its entirety.
Especially Falling to Pieces.

Now about Linkin Park: sincerely, they are one of the bands I hate the most. Man, they blend so much rap and techno into their rock it doesn't even get classifiable enough. And I tell ya, I used to like them a while ago, but I grew tired of the repetitiveness of their songs. Just my 2 cents on them.

and that makes them a good band how? nsync also sold millions of albums.

[Kutsic]

Album sales have nothing to do with it, the other bands on my list prove that one. I just think they're amazing at making mainstream music that, at the same time, is maturely written, and while simplistic, has multiple layers to it. I also think they put on the best live show I've ever seen (and considering the bands I've seen, that's pretty impressive).

Also, in reference to the Nsync thing, all of the members are actually really good singers, and Justin Timberlake is, in my opinion, one of the best pop artists of all time.

[tmanrocks]

I said skillwise dream theater , but honestly... I hate dream theaters music lol

So... for a mix between sounds good and still has mass skill I'm just gonna go with everyone else and say coheed

Dream theater sure as hell knows how to play their instruments but I don't think they know how to make songs appealing......

[progROCKER]

ewww coheed

anyway

TOOL and dream theater (the end)

I disagree with you about dream theater. Except for one or two of the songs from their new cd everything is appealing.

[benjamin]

Apparently everyone here loves Prog Metal.

Eww.

[Jsnkr9216]

Ever see that AoL commercial? Where the icon's in the lab and they're doing tests and they say "We can rebuild him stronger, faster, etc."


Well Trivium is that compared to Metallica, and imo, Trivium will be recognized many years from now as one of the main bands who brought old-school thrash to the mainstream eye.

Just sucks Exodus isn't more widely known, their new album was ****ing sexy as hell.

lolololol ew to coheed and your name is prog rocker. Good stuff.

As for the comment on J-Timberlake, You are right. People may not like his music, but the man is smart and knows how to make pop music.

lol, buttpirate huh? im surprised you didnt take the obvious road and call me fagpirate.
but enough about how kick ass my name is.

i wasnt flaming him.
he said feel free to say im wrong, so i said he was wrong.

now as for why linkin park sucks,
they just arnt talented musicians, i used to like them but then they got all freaky weird ***bo on me.
so i went back to listenin to their old stuff and i realised... hey this sucks....

either way their just forgettable, people often ask me if i like linkin park and i go, no. so they go "HAVE YOU EVEN HEARD BREAKING THE HABIT?!?!?!?!" and im like, sure who hasnt. but then later i find out that i was thinking of a completely different song.
their so forgettable that i get them and OTHER forgetable bands mixed up! its rediculous!!!

See, that's why I have no problem with you telling me I'm wrong, because for some, LP is going to strike them the same way they strike me, and for others, it just isn't going to happen.

[Jsnkr9216]

I liked Linkin Park when I was in 7th grade.

[Kutsic]

I did too, and I still do.

[Jsnkr9216]

I did too, and I still do.

I don't. They went from Hardcore to Suckcore.

[Kutsic]

Haha to each his/her own eh?

Btw, I meant to tell you earlier, congrats on being one of the few people that views Trivium as more than just a rip off of Metallica.

[Jsnkr9216]

Yeah. Thanks.


It's probably because I actually lived down in Florida when I was younger and was friends with Corey and Travis when they were first starting out, so I always knew what they wanted to do with their music.


And besides, I don't hear the Metallica resemblance. Just because somebody sounds like somebody doesn't mean they're a rip-off.

[Kutsic]

Yea, anyone that's been listening to Trivium since before Ascendancy prolly has more of an idea about what's going on with them.

The only cd I really hear any Metallica resemblence is Ember to Inferno, the instrumental work reminds me a lot of some of Metallica's older work. The only reason people compare them is Matt's vocals, which, meh, they're still different than James Hetfield's. It's funny, I actually hear a much larger Megadeth influence in their music actually...but I wouldn't say they sound like Megadeth either.

Trivium just catches a lot of crap for being really popular.

[Jsnkr9216]

Pretty much. And their age is another reason why people give them so much crap.



Hell, I think they should be given praise to do their kind of music, do it as well as they do, and be as popular as they are at their age.

[fragpirate]

trivium does sound a lil like metallica but since when is sounding like another band a crime?
most of the entire punk genre sounds the same to me but that doesnt mean that blink 182 is as good as dead kennedys.

[battle_axe_of_doom]

trivium are given crap cuz they blow. also age has nothing to do with anything. the average age of decapitated members was 17 when they made two classic death metal albums

[tharshmetalUK]

Trivium do not blow they are the band that has brought thrash metal back from the dead. They're also pretty awesome live, I saw them at Download 06 and supporting Maiden in Sheffield and both times they rocked.

P.S

Who the hell are decapitated ive never heared of them before so they must be ****, and trust me mate there are no classic death metal albums. It should have its own genre entitled S**T.:)

Same, I've heard of them either, so they must not be that 'classic' or good for that matter.

[The_Lizard_King]

well the most popular is probably some *** band like greenday or something, but my personal favorites are derek trucks and beck

[Ghostrider2112]

Best Rock Band = Rush
Best Metal Band = Dream Theater
Best Band of the last 10 years = Muse

Thats what i think....

[no_direction_home]

Who do you think people will look back and say is one or some of the best bands of this generation? I would have to say The Mars Volta, and Coheed and Cambria. Their music is just superior in my view to most of the music out today. What bands you guys think?

ya saw them live too and they blow tremendous balls. lol right cuz you never heard of a band that automatically makes them ****. sorry to tell you bro but trivium is a fake metal band created by roadrunner to get ******y people like you to buy their ****. so go listen to your little trivium and whatever other METULLLLLLL bands you like and go suck a cock

oh and about death metal being a **** genre two words : MORBID ANGEL

[battle_axe_of_doom]

Best Rock Band = Rush
Best Metal Band = Dream Theater
Best Band of the last 10 years = Muse

Thats what i think....


best rock band evor = THE BEATLES
best metal band evor = BLACK SABBATH (if they're discounted cuz u guys are ******s then OPETH)
best band of the last 10 years = radiohead

oh and dream theater is hardly metal

[Tazeyo]

System of a Down

Of course! It must be!

[Rockerman]

umm..not much good music nowadays so I'll say, Gorillaz.

You dip ****, please explain how Triv are "fake". They are one of the only bands which has stuck to the roots of REAL METAL. They don't go along with modern trends just because they are signed by roadrunner. Megadeth are also signed by the same label, does that make them fake?

So why don't u go suck an old mans cock and educate yourself on real matal while you're at it :)

You two get along well. I'd bet if you'd put that aside you'd be best of friends. :)

[tharshmetalUK]

I never get along with WANK STAINS who think they know real metal. This guy is just following the we hate Trivium crowd

[Tazeyo]

Well, too bad then, I guess. :eek:
Anyway, it was just my thought on the subject. See yaz.

[Eman311]

311 Obviously

:)

[Kutsic]

lmao i'm honestly wondering how old you are. only a ******y little kid can honestly think trivium are good and tr00 to metal. and about megadeth on roadrunner, you're obviously one to jump to conclusions. not once did i say that all roadrunner bands are fake. opeth obviously crush any modern metal band around, porcupine tree is one of the great prog bands of all time, mercyful fate is one of the best and most influential protoblack metal bands ever, deicide was a fantastic early death metal band; but trivium on the other hand is just another ******y "metal" band that roadrunner is trying to cash on. fact is the ascendancy is an extremely crappy album in an already crappy genre (metalcore for your information), and their latest is just a pitiful attempt at being a thrash band while their colleagues in the metalcore genre drift away into oblivion and nothingness. believe me kid in 10 years from now trivium will be long and forgotten as yet another fad band along with the rest of metalcore. hopefully "metalheads" can come to their senses and listen to bands that are truly deserving whether from the past or present.

I like Trivium, and I do believe they are true metal, and I will gladly discuss my appreciation and knowledge of metal music with you if you wish to prove that I'm more than a "******y little kid".

Trivium hasn't always been on Roadrunner, and Ember to Inferno doesn't sound too far removed from Ascendancy, which kinda throws your Roadrunner theory out the window.

The fact that you completely dislike metalcore (which I agree is a dying genre and Trivium may very well not be around in 10 years...so what, neither will most bands), already dilutes your opinion because you simply label it as a dying genre and every band within it dismissable.

What I'd like more than for "metalheads" to come to their senses and listen to "true metal" would be for "metalheads" to come to their senses and realize that maybe they aren't the messiahs of music.

As a side note, Decapitated are good, but not only do they not have anything to do with Trivium or their style, they also aren't anything special. I wouldn't say either band is really good enough to be considered anything more than a good band.

[Eman311]

Whoever thinks muse is one of the best bands in the past 10 years deserves a huge pat on the back. MUSE IS THE ****

[Tazeyo]

Whoever thinks muse is one of the best bands in the past 10 years deserves a huge pat on the back. MUSE IS THE ****

I agree with you, mate.

[Prescott523]

This generation includes 90's, right? If so, I'm gunna have to go with Nirvana, Incubus, and Pearl Jam. If you're into 90's rock... Some people just aren't, but to me, it's the decade rock was transformed.

[Tazeyo]

Nirvana is a tad bit overrated, but they rock anyways.

[Eman311]

Theyre just ok in my book, but they deserve a nod for what they did accomplish

[Prescott523]

Well, if this topic was for most memorable band, it'd be Nirvana, hands down. But I do agree with you, they aren't spectacular music, but the lyrics are so deep it's unthinkable. Half the time you can't even understand what Cobain's saying until you hear the song 30 times, then you might pick up 2 words. But go read some lyrics, and you'll be amazed too.

Now, don't flame me for this, but My Chemical Romance, as emo as they are, has a hell of a lot of talent. The singer and bassist had not picked up their roles until one year before they started recording. So they're still new to what they do. Both guitarists could play lead for almost any band, and they each have a huge range of musical knowledge and background. Yeah, i'm gunna hear hell for backing MCR, but I must say, they have a lot of talent.

[Eman311]

I think MCR is very talented, just not my type of music

[Tazeyo]

Well, My Chemical Romance as emo as they may be are ok, but sometimes the vocals sound like the physical event of cutting my wrists with a... a... :rolleyes:
Anyway they're ok, they're ok.

not really, their bassist can't play for **** and gerard can't sing either. none of their guitar parts are anything amazing or hard, and i highly doubt they could "play lead for almost any band".

as for mainstream rock goes, i think they are near the top for best band in my opinion. but near the bottom for best modern rock band.

take the fall of troy for example. they recorded their first full length album(the self titled one), with all those amazing guitar, bass, and drum parts at 17 years old, one take each, within a week. now thats something impressive.

so basically you're just calling me ignorant cuz it just so happens metalcore as a genre blows?? bro i used to listen to this metalcore crap i know wut that genre is a bout and it ****ing blows. every single band in that genre needs to die already and quit shoving **** music down our throats. and as for metalheads, metalheads can suck my cock there is much much much better music out there than metal. also about decapitated it was just an example i know many many more bands that aren't very known and will just be dismissed by you folks so i chose an EXCELLENT "mainstream" band 4 u. but whatever its obvious you two are ignorant cocks who don't know anything about tr00 muzak

[Kutsic]

Not once did I call you ignorant actually, nor is that what I implied. I simply said that by disliking all metalcore you have pretty much made it clear from the beginning that no matter what anyone says, you aren't going to enjoy a metalcore band.

Decapitated is far from mainstream as evident by the fact that people didn't know who they were. And I would never dimiss you for saying a band I hadn't heard of, because, while I listen to quite a bit of music that a large portion of the people you will meet in your life have not heard of, had I not heard of the band you had used as your example, I simply would've looked them up and listened to them as to make a fair judgement on their talent.

I am slightly confused as to why you think I'm being ignorant. All I said was that you seem to have this idea that if a person listens to a band that they know nothing about "tr00 muzak"(which in itself is a rather ignorant term as it implies that certain forms of music are not actually music, which creates a rather large paradox). I don't care if you think I'm being ignorant, that's your choice, but once again, I like Trivium and I think, if needed, I can pretty easily defend that I am not a "******y little kid" and actually listen to quite a large deal of varied and talented musicians.

Continue attacking me if you will, it doesn't make what you said right.

[battle_axe_of_doom]

thats why i said "mainstream" they're more mainstream nowadays than most death metal bands. also i mostly meant that uk metallica fanboy not u <3

also tr00 muzak is a ******ed term which i purposely said for people like that ******y little kid to ****ing lighten up

[Eman311]

spouting insults and simply saying one genre of music sucks without backing up your argument in any way whatsoever makes you come across as simply ignorant and as the one who doesnt know about "tr00 muzak"

1. i'm not ignorant i was a fan of this horrible genre so i know wut i'm talking about. every single metalcore band sound the ****ing same. unearth is to as i lay dying as asi lay dying is to every other band with the word dying or other variations of "death" in their name. the vocals style blow, the lyrics are typical WE WILL RISE bull**** (which yes i know is more prominent in "hardcore" metal), the gutiar style is the same "technical" bull**** that bands like shadows fall do every single album. there is no progression in such a genre and that is the very reason why it is dying

2. believe you me 311 fan i listen to almost every single type of music there is so if anyone is close minded to music its ******ed ass metalheads like the guy i originally insulted

3. like i said in another thread every forum needs pretentious arrogant cocks like me to disagree with people or else said forum will just be a bunch of people agreeing with each and a bunch of threads going nowhere. honestly would this thread have gone to 8 pages if someone didn't disagree with each other?? so lighten the **** up and listen to better music since 311 is a **** band

[Eman311]

You automatically make yourself look like a fool but saying you used to be a "fan" of a horrible genre. That makes a ton of sense.

This forum needs less arrogant trolls, so please, enough with your bull****. You've said what you wanted to say. There is no reason to take this so seriously. Its like your offended someone actually likes metalcore.

[battle_axe_of_doom]

i am not a troll i actually contribute to this forum so stfu

also how do i look like a fool?? because i liked different stuff when i was younger and have since grown up and listen to better music????????

[Eman311]

Your a fool because your idea of arguing is telling me to go listen to a band other than 311, simply because YOU think they're ****. Very mature.

Have fun in this thread with your wonderful "contributions"

[battle_axe_of_doom]

yeah yeah go suck a cock how's that for mature ******

[TheFatBloke]

I think personally these bands will be remembered very highly (and for mostly good / great reasons) in the future...

Artic Monkeys
The Strokes
Muse
Rush
Franz Ferdinand
The Killers (:rolleyes:)
Radiohead

I think some of the best bands this century has been probably some of them listed above, Arcade Fire (Actual originality, and are incredible!!), Bloc Party (Talent is incredible, great music too), White Stripes (Fanf**kingtastic stuff) and many other UK bands I know that most here haven't heard off and I cannot be bothered to list.

Also for whoever said Reel Big Fish and ska is underappreciated, you are so f**king right. I want to see bands like The Specials and Reel Big Fish a lot yet virtually no ska is in the UK at the moment and I missed my chance to see Reel Big Fish a few months ago.

[progROCKER]

I feel like we cannot include rush just because they came out during the generation before this. That is when all of there best stuff came out too.

as for 90's rock

Nirvana sucks, they did not accomplish anything accept becoming the most overrated band of all time with absolutely no talent from any member, especially kurt Cobain.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My Nominations

Alice in chains- is amazing and Layne Staley continues to be one of the best vocalists of all time.

Soundgarden - Chris Cornell's voice kills babies it is so good. No I am not talking about there **** songs like black hole sun, I am talking about ultramega ok, badmotor finger, and l louder than love stuff.

Tool - Maynard is the best lyricist of all time and a great singer. Danny Carrey is probably in the top 10 best drummers of all time. And well there is not much to be said about their guitar and bass, it serves its purpose

Dream theater. Each individual from this band has such talent it is unbelievable. They have alot of albums which makes me want to pick them as my number 1, but it is a tough decision

Rage against the machine - Very original and while at the time their lyrics seemed to only pertain to what was going on (gulf war) at the time, they appear still have timeless quotes.

IE "When ignorance rains life is lost"
"Replace the yellow ribbon with the swastika" are some of my favorite quotes


For me it would be a toss up between tool and dream theater

[battle_axe_of_doom]

the only answer is the tr00 answer : ulver

[Prescott523]

Simple enough, music is what it is. Nobody can change what music people make. Yeah, some people make it because its popular, but some people generally make it because that's what they feel. If you can't relate, but others can, that's no reason to dislike them as a person. You're all a bunch of *******s in my opinion lol. Honestly, (sorry about this Eman, you've been nothing but nice to me in the forums so far lol and this is nothing personal against you) but I really think 311 sucks. That's no reason for me to flame them, I just dislike their style. But hey, on my stay at the Rock Band forums so far, he's the coolest person around. But you're all just jerks because you don't have respect for certain types of music. So let's take a different road on this. We all like guitar, right? And hell, god knows we all hate rap. So let's flame that stuff instead :D Have a nice day.

[p0pachery]

I would have to say Sublime, Radiohead, Smashing Pumpkins, and Modest Mouse(they had so many good albums before good news for people who like bad news)

[Prescott523]

Sublime, Radiohead, Smashing Pumpkins

I love you...

[Kutsic]

the only answer is the tr00 answer : ulver
Ulver is brilliant

Garm is easily one of the best vocalists of all time

[MrGrieves]

The Mars Volta and Arcade Fire are two of the best of this generation in my opinion

[tharshmetalUK]

yeah yeah go suck a cock how's that for mature ******

I'm guessing you're 10 years old, 11 maximum. Mate you could never offend me. I never get offended by children who call me names over the internet. It does make me almost piss my pants with laughter though.:)

As for the actual TOPIC Stone Sour are quite a good band of this generation.

[battle_axe_of_doom]

lmao stone sour sucks even worse than the **** cluster known as slipknot are.

and i'm 19 going on 20z fyi

[battle_axe_of_doom]

Ulver is brilliant

Garm is easily one of the best vocalists of all time

thank you. for christ's sake thank you. if this board had a rep system u'd get infinite amounts from me at the moment

[ConsoleCoWBoY]

=o I wonder why no one is coming here and talking sh*t about Velvet Revolver or Trivium?... It's quite a better conversation without hearing those two mentioned. Oh, and Ulver IS brilliant.

:)

[battle_axe_of_doom]

now wondering if you're just trying to get rep or if you truly know who ulver are :chinrub:

[MrGrieves]

Ulver? who/what is it, enlighten me

[battle_axe_of_doom]

Ulver? who/what is it, enlighten me

check the album reviews forum. i made a thread on one of the/if not their best album called perdition city. they're a uhhh weird band that has gone through many different style changes from black metal to progressive rock/electronic/trip hop/avant-garde/whatever

[monlienNH3]

Well, since this thread has grown and people are now including bands who came before 2000. These are great bands that should be remembered and probably will:
Radiohead
White Stripes
Primus
Rage Against the Machine

And great bands that will never get mainstream credit they deserve:
Blind Melon (playing No Rain on the radio doesn't count)
Faith No More (playing Epic on the radio doesn't count)
Sleepytime Gorilla Museum

Non-rock greats:
Bjork
Rasputina (although they are rock, but with cellos)

And one metal band no one mentions who deserves it:
Testament (especially from the "Low" album onward)

[battle_axe_of_doom]

sleepytime gorilla museum own, blind melon blows, faith no more only really dug one album (angel dust), primus owns, white stripes blow, radiohead owns, ratm blow. bjork is a goddess in disguise, testament rulez

[army_of_me]

Non-rock greats:
Bjork


<- My picture says I agree.

Big up to Radiohead and Faith No More too.

[Kang_Zircon]

Faith no More is crazy (in a good way). So many of their songs sound completely different from one another. If you didn't know who they were you could play a dozen different tracks and not know they were the same group.

[outofcontrol]

iam gonna sound crazy but id have to say franz ferdinand.

[battle_axe_of_doom]

ya u r crazy

[outofcontrol]

iam more crazy because they are my favorite band and their the reason i started to play the bass.

[Rev0lver]

why? their bassist sucks.

[sushi111]

Radiohead.

The best band of last generation too.

[ajrapper]

Linkin Park BY FAR!

[IbanezBassist_v2]

I'd have to say musically? Tool. They have such a broad sound that expands from metal, hard rock, a little experimental, and a very melodic tone. If you're going off of popularity or gimmick, don't know what to tell you.

[keystr0ke]

Fragpirate? More like Buttpirate. At least put why you don't think so instead of flaming him.

Linkin Park is pretty successful for this generation, sales-wise. They sold millions of albums and have one of the best selling albums in the world.

i guess record sales determine how good the music is. yep. that's it.

[outofcontrol]

ive never said anything bout their bassit i said that their the reason i started to play the bass.

[xXFallenxAngelXx]

I think Aiden, Boys Like Girls and Underoath are really awesome bands

[Rev0lver]

I think Aiden, Boys Like Girls and Underoath are really awesome bands

lol, not nearly the best of this generation.

[xXFallenxAngelXx]

lol, not nearly the best of this generation. Haha, I know but I think they are awesome bands

[Rev0lver]

i mean, i like underoath and aiden(to an extent) but i don't think they are THAT great.

[xXFallenxAngelXx]

i mean, i like underoath and aiden(to an extent) but i don't think they are THAT great. Yeah, I Know What You Mean

[acthomas]

MUSE ftw. best band of our time

[IbanezBassist_v2]

This thread is getting out of hand.
