What is your SECOND favorite band?

[OctoberVision]

I don't really have a second favorite band. I've been listening to alot of Nevermore and Sepultura lately though. Dreaming Neon Black and Chaos A.D. are great.

 

[Confessor]

Maybe Emperor, they just seem to be clicking again these days with the new album.

 

[Clayman]

Nevermore

 

[_Transparent_]

hmn in this rough order:

1. Smashing Pumpkins
2.Opeth
3.Radiohead
4.Katatonia
5.Tool

or something like that.

 

[Duvall]

Hmm..

1. Opeth/Tool

2. Pink Floyd. right now. Raziel, can you suggest an album to get? I've got Wish You Were Here and Dark Side of the Moon.. what's next for me?

 

[Kourosh]

1. Opeth
2. Sigur Rós
3. Rammstein
4. Vintersorg
5. Väsen

After that, I like a lot of other bands pretty equally.

Hello,

and first of all I wish to extend my greetings to everyone here, since I am a newly registered member with this being my first post here.

My SECOND favourite band, that is a hard question, for as I see it, the throne is held by five bands equally:

Opeth (why, naturally!)
Black Sabbath
Fields of the Nephilim
Arcturus
King Crimson

As for the heirs, I would suppose there are rather many. Genesis (1970's), Mayhem, Cradle of Filth..

Another thing: Does anyone of you possibly know of a place in the 'net where I could find samples of a band called PREMIATA FORNERIA MARCONI? I read a review - which was written by Mikael Åkerfeldt himself - of their album "Photos of ghosts" which immediately spurred my interest. All help related to the matter is happily received!

 

[Graveless Soul]

Depends what mood I'm in, so there's not really an order for them. It'd be out of the following though:

Opeth, Porcupine Tree, Jimi Hendrix or Led Zeppelin

 

[Soul Forlorn]

After Opeth, my favorite list really doesn't follow much particular order but I'd probably have to say Iron Maiden.

 

[Melancholia]

I've always had great problem in puting my fave bands into order....so i will name my 6 superfave bands,all are somehow equal to me

Opeth
Arcturus
Ulver
Ved Buens Ende
In the woods
At the gates

 

[Centra]

1. Opeth
2. Anathema
3. Radiohead
4. Dream Theater
5. Aphex Twin (drukqz album=rules)

 

[Vortex]

Rush

In fact, I don't like to put the two in any order.

 

[Ordeith]

It's really hard to rank them as I go through stages in which I like this or band more than any other.
As I speak, these are my favourites :
1. Arcturus
2. Opeth
3. Motorpsycho
4. Ulver

 

[Demiana]

Opeth is definitly my number one, but Tool comes right after. I'm also a big fan of psychedelic music like Pink Floyd, Yes and (less psychedelic, but also very nice) Camel..

I've downloaded some of X Japan (the songs 'tears' and 'standing sex'), but I have to say that I just can't get used to that voice...and in what language does he sing???

 

[Slynt]

1. Opeth / Edge of Sanity
2. Bal-Sagoth / My Dying Bride

3. All the rest of them!!! METAL RULES!!

 

[FleischBrenner]

I can never pick an absolute favorite, here're some of the ones tied for first place.

Opeth (naturally)
Sabbat (Japan)
Kreator
Dismember
Atheist
Carcass

 

[from the Cradle]

Mine are (in order):

1-Anathema;
1-Opeth;
2-Death;
3-Cradle of Filth.

The Wall, for sure. It's the quintessential rock opera/concept album (give or take a Who record here or there). Dream Theater drew quite a bit of inspiration from it in making "Scenes From A Memory". (I'm not sure if this is an endorsement for you personally, but I think they're both great records)

 

[HoserHellspawn]

Oh right, the topic... mine would look something like:

1. Opeth
1. Frank Zappa
2. Dan Swano
2. Devin Townsend

 

[Duvall]

Thanks hoser! Next paycheque, I'll pick up the wall.

(I tend to disdain owning whole albums on mp3...)
