Your 5 most favourite bands

[scaleo]

[sorry if this has been done before, I tried to search the forum but couldn't find anything]

Since we all like(/love) Dark Tranquillity I thought it would be fun to know what all of you consider your favourite music. Maybe some of us will discover a new awesome band with this little thing

Okay, so my idea was:
*write down the 5 bands/artists you like the most (except DT - but you could ofcourse still rank them if you want to! (but 5 bands other than DT))
*write down.... let's say, 3-5 songs each band have made that you think is good!

(if you'd like to share the top-8 artist or 20 songs of each, feel free to do so, the above is more like 'guidelines')

ok, so I'll start...

 

[scaleo]

...in a clean post:

(1. DT - I don't think I have to mention any songs)
2. Insomnium - Shades of deep green, Death walked the Earth, Bereavement
(3. In Flames - Dial 595-escape, The quiet place, Metaphor)
(4. Children of Bodom - Towards dead end, Bodom beach terror, Angels don't kill)
5. Tristania - Angellore, Aphelion, My lost Lenore, Heretique
6. Amon Amarth - Legends of a banished man, Pursuit of Vikings, Vs the world
7. Arch Enemy - Dead eyes see no future, We will rise, Leader of the rats
8. Thyrfing - Världsspegeln, Vansinnesvisan, Vi gingo ut i strid

since I guess In Flames and Children of Bodom isn't new to anyone I added 5 bands apart from them.

1. DT-now don't be so surprised,although I know this is a big shock to everybody ...all songs too good
2. In Flames-Trigger,Pinball map,Cloud Connected,Come clarity,and all others
3. Children of Bodom-Everytime I die,Follow the reaper,Living dead beat
4. Helloween-The tale that wasn't right,I want out,Dark ride,Open your life
5. Sonata Arctica-Replica,Full moon,Black sheep,The end of this chapter,Last drop falls
And 100 others, I really listen many bands,this is just what's keeping my ears bizzy most of the time lately

 

[Sickman]

Wow, 2 people listing In Flames and no mention of any song from the pre-Clayman era.

1. Alice in Chains - Rotten Apple, Got Me Wrong, Rain When I Die, Nutshell
2. Amorphis - Alone, Weeper on the Shore, The Way, In the Beginning

4. Opeth - To Bid You Farewell, The Amen Corner, Karma, Black Rose Immortal
5. Isis - Carry, The Beginning and the End, So Did We, In Fiction

I could easily substitute about 50 other bands in any of the 2-5 spots, but we'll go with this lineup for now.

do you also like midway? if you consider that it's my fave song from my fave band you can imagine how I like it!
and what about the gayness? C'm on I'm so curious!!!!!!! and thanx for yr nice re-welcome!

 

[RampageSword]

The whole gayness thing is just a runnning joke that's been going on the forum about a week ago. Mainly, everything at the said time was gay. So was everybody. Pretty d*** funny yet so pointless...you gotta love it!

Midway is actually one of my fave but my #1 is Tongues

 

[MECOSARIO]

Hello I'm new on this forum...being listening to DT since the mid nineties...

MY favs are:

King Crimson (all their albums are really awesome, THE WORLD'S MY OYSTER SOUP / KITCHEN FLOOR WAX MUSEUM is my favourite song by them right now)...(Non metal)

NIGHTINGALE/DAN SWANO (Add reality from the Moontower album, and Atlantis rising from "Invisible" are the ones that I like more, Edge of Sanity's "Loosing myself" it's pretty good too and of course the two "crimsons")

KATATONIA (The new album's gonna be a masterpiece I just have the single and man I love this band!)

And surely you know a lot about IRON MAIDEN and SLAYER wich are my two ultimate favourite metal bands!!!

Apart from metal I listen to a lot of progressive rock and yeh I even like country music
