Best Taste in Music, 2008

[Belligerent]

Most of the time Ozzman and I see eye to eye on bands(metal/classic rock) so there's my vote.

 

[The Ozzman]

I love how Dodens is the only one on the poll that listens to only metal. Everyone else listens to other shit

 

[ShredHeadJHJ]

Where's V???

I don't know who to pick. I don't post enough to get to know everyone very well... I'm thinking King Richard based on stuff I've seen him say, but I really do not know. If everyone on the poll would post like 10 bands that are very dear to them & it would help to be as diverse as possible I could easily make a choice.

 

[The Ozzman]

Opeth
Pink Floyd
Nine Inch Nails
Rush
Van Halen
Priest
Maiden
Katatonia
Armored Saint
Alice in Chains

First 10 off the top of my head

Also: Look at my last.fm link in my sig for more help

This is a myth tbh. I just haven't gotten around to buying much that isn't metal. I listen to a lot of prog/hard rock/proto-metal, classical, and punk, and I'm exploring neofolk and dark ambient (and others) atm.

Eh, your RYM account makes it look as though you only have metal. Though, I only looked in the CD section and got as far as Graveland before getting bored

I should probably check out your last.fm account then

You should talk about punk a bit then

 

[skeptik]

Neither of those will entirely accurately reflect the (admittedly marginal) diversity of what I listen to tbh. And yes, most of my hard rock, for example, is on LP (Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Jethro Tull, Rush, ELP, etc, other stuff not listed).

 

[Belligerent]

My rough top 10 fav's:

Opeth
Porcupine Tree
Agalloch
Amorphis
Anathema
Enslaved
Carcass
Katatonia
Bloodbath
Keep of Kalessin

Now non-metal (classic rock/prog) would be alot harder for me to choose

edit: ah what the hell:
Pink Floyd
Black Sabbath
The Beatles
Zeppelin
The Allman Bros.Band
UFO
King Crimson
Camel
Robin Trower
Deep Purple

 

[ShredHeadJHJ]

I'm pretty sure Thoth only listens to brutal shit. Where's King Richard?? Post yours then I will decide.

I should have been on the list because I have the best taste.

 

[The Ozzman]

Thoth doesn't only listen to brutal shit. NO idea where you got that from

 

[ShredHeadJHJ]

I might have him confused with someone else. There are people here I still get confused... Everyone in the poll should post their top 10 though. It doesn't have to be dead accurate, just something to give the voters a better idea.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Dodens obviously.

 

[King Richard]

Wow, I can't believe I actually made it onto a poll, especially "best taste" considering all the shit I get for it.

I guess I'll list some bands since you are asking. Aside from all the stuff already listed by Belligerent and Ozzman, and the obvious classic metal bands I like (starting with classic rock, and psych):

Alright I give up.

For the record, I did the manly thing and didn't vote for myself. That shit is lame.

Also, I listed your 10 bands, and raised you a shit ton. That's metal or something.

 

[Satanstoenail]

I voted for Thoth, but no-one up there has as good taste as me tbh

 

[King Richard]

Yeah I voted for Thoth as well. He and I see eye to eye on a lot of stuff except U2 and Opeth.

 

[The Ozzman]

U2 is fucking gay

 

[King Richard]

I agree.

 

[Satanstoenail]

He likes U2? I want my vote back.

 

[The Ozzman]

As do I

 

[King Richard]

He likes U2? I want my vote back.

haha nice
