Favourite band

[dragonwarrior]

Yeah, I know, its a topic which has probably been done a thousand times before, but i'm curious.
You may only choose one band (might be a bit hard... it is for me... i'm still thinking!)

 

[MetalNESS]

That is impossible for me. There are waaaaay to many great bands out there.

 

[Symphony]

Indeed a tough question.....obviously Dream Theater circa Images and Words for me, Maiden circa Somewhere in Time, Helloween........the list could on for a while!

 

[Ayeka]

I suppose I have to be honest with myself and say Judas Priest!

Bless y'old Maiden, still do me good though...

 

[The Bringer]

A month ago I'd say Children of Bodom without a second thought. But now... My love for them has died.

Tie between:

SYL, Amon Amarth, Hypocrisy and Dark Tranquillity.

 

[MetalNESS]

SYL ruuules that list.


My list:

Devin Townsend (SYL), Power Quest, Blind Guardian, Helloween, Gamma Ray, In Flames (old), At the Gates, Windir, Forest of Fog, X Japan, Nocturnal Rites (old), Megadeth, Exodus (old), Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, King Diamond (Mercyful Fate), Satan, Stratovarius, Sonata Arctica, Dragonforce, oh man, I could go on forever.

 

[MRC_Carrion]

At the moment. Dragonforce. They transformed my entire outlook on music. OK bands like Iron Maiden, or Blind Guardian would have to be high on any list for me, because I love them, but nobody has had as great an influence on me than the Dforce, so it has to be them.

Further on the list: Iron Maiden, Blidn Guardian, Stratovarius, Hammerfall, Sonata Arctica, Rhapsody, Judas Priest, Iced Earth

Children of Bodom (before they turned shit) or Pantera

 

[dragonwarrior]

For me, I think i'll have to say Iron Maiden... or maybe Rhapsody... do I have to decide?

 

[Dan W]

changes all the time, depending on what i'm listening to

at the moment, it's probably dream theater

 

[Sepulchral]

I'd have to say dragonforce for all out amzingly crazy guitar and overall sound, but I feel iron savior are better due to the fact that the singing is a better balance between harsh and clear. But I guesse it depends on my state of mind, and that is a tougher question than it seems! I'm auspuffed! End of the day cheesy power metal like freedom call falconer hammerfall and sonata arctica are, in all, the best!!!!

 

[El Ganame]

Helloween is a great choice....but Angra (before they turned shit too) were great too!!
Avantasia counts like all bands that played in it??

 

[dragonwarrior]

They turned shit? I was really impressed by Temple of Shadows.

 

[Little Linda]

Without a doubt my all time favourite band would have to be Magnum.

More recently, I'd most definitely have to say anything with Jorn Lande in, cos I think he's phenominal both live and on cd. In particular 'Worldchanger' and 'The Battle' are up there in my all time favourite cd's.

 

[Frostmourn]

my favourite band, Blind Guardian easily. But there are a ton of other bands that are close to that. Manowar, Maiden, Emperor, Darkthrone, early CoB e.t.c

 

[Tonberry]

It really does change over time. Ask me 8 years ago, and I would of told you Metallica were the dog's bollocks. Currently, I listen to Helloween and Sonata Arctica the most... and I liked Keeper 3 and Angra's Temple of Shadows

 

[Carnifex\m/]

It'd have to be CARNIFEX, followed by Busted, with Desecration coming in a close third.

 

[slashjimmypage]

Well Busted would have to be high up on anyones list

But for me atm its a tie between HammerFall & DragonForce

If you'd asked me a few months ago I was obsessed with Ozzy Osbourne (not Sabbath, I mean Randy Rhoads era)

 

[HMJ]

Angra (before they turned shit too) were great too!!

Na...I reckon Angra are better now than they were. Although that's not dissing their old stuff...songs like Angels Cry, Carry On, Lisbon, Make Belief etc are amazing!

They always have been awesome...and they've just kept getting better. Definitely one of my faves.

 

[Valo Nightstalker]

well going by what my audioscrobbler profile says it appears to be Sentenced so guess its them then lol
