Everyones Favorite Bands

Weird Harold, I use that description of records for the kids who come in my store.
Plus their moms(milf) think it is real funny. Plus I, at the ripe old age of 33, am about the same age of the moms.
Every once in a while I get someone who asks"you might be to young for this but, do you sell phonographs." Like I don't know what a phonograph is, I only manage a retail electronics store.
Oh Well
ttfn

Very nice list Hurley....Heres mine...

1. Husker Du
2. Sonic Youth
3. Agent Orange
4. Bauhaus
5. Early REM
6. Pixies
7. Fugazi
8. Helmet
9. Sex Pistols

13. Stevie Ray Vaughn
14. Creed
15. Aphex Twin
16. Eric Johnson
17. Dead Kennedy's
18. Lets Active
19. Planes Mistaken For Stars
20. Triple Fast Action
21. Lucky 7

For starters...
 
In no particular order.

1) Joy Division
Probably my all time favorite band.
Bittersweet stuff to be sure.

2) Portishead
3) Nine Inch Nails
4) Frontline Assembly
5) Front 242
6) Machines of Loving Grace
7) Chemical Brothers
8) Crystal Method
I have a strong leaning towards anything Techno/Ambiant. Been a fan of the genre since back in the 80's.

9) Johnny Cash
What can I say. The man is a national treasure.

10) The Rolling Stones--
Mostly their older stuff, but a couple of their recent albums were pretty good. I am in awe of Keith Richards simply for being the antedeluvian mummy man that he is.

11) DAVID BOWIE!!
ANY DAVID BOWIE! Even his sell out 80's crap. I'm not gay, but I would fuck David Bowie. Quite possibly the coolest sumbitch on the planet.

12) I like Antonio Vivaldi. Most other Baroque period classical is pretty good.

13)GWAR
"Do not confuse art for lack of talent." They are either the greatest or the worst rock and roll band in existance. Blood. Sex. Lovecraftian mythos. B Movie ideology.
They wear 50 pounds of foam rubber and they can still play their instruments. Sick fare, but I have never failed to be amused by it.
 
Hmm - forgot to mention a few other fav's of mine .... and wondered if that would change my rating on the age scale *winks @ LL's hubby*

Aerosmith
G'N'R
The Doors

it was a pretty accurate guess though *s* I will be 33 in August.
 
Pretty close LL. 45 to be exact... Cheap Trick, huh..Remember "Live at Budakan..."

Wizard, Ole man my .......Remember, I know where you live..Well, not really, but I do know where you post, buddy...
 
Close enough LL.
I'm 25. Three yrs off. But who cares about age

SHIT, YEAH!!! WE SHOULD HAVE A POP QUIZ!!!

smile.gif


Who was this band? They were from Detroit. They released their first album (it was live) in about 1969. It's not Iggy and it's not Alice Cooper. Here's the start of one of their songs:

'Brothers 'n' sistahs, the time has come for each and every one of you to decide whether you are gonna be the problem or you are gonna be the solushun. KICK OUT THE JAMS, MUTHAFUKKA!!!!!'

Whoever gets it right asks the next question.

BTW, Laurel - you made me swallow my coffee the wrong way with your anti-musicals tirade on page one (most of it went up my nose).

hee hee hee!

I'm guessing Bad brains.... with the scariest man in the worl being a member at some of the time Henry Rollins
 
Yardbirds. CoRRECT! You won the best prize of all, Laurel - even better than an all-expenses-paid trip to the Carribean for two.

You get to make up the next question. Wooohooh!!!!

BTW - I see the BB's been repainted recently. Does that mean the second server's up 'n' running?

Chef - I didn't know about Henry & co's version of 'Kick Out The Jams' (any good?). MC5 did the original though. If you've not heard it - it sounds a lot like the Stooges with a bit o' politics thrown in. (Basically, that means - not as good as Iggy 'n' the boys but still pretty rockin'.)

You can make up a question too if ya like, Chef, since you think the Yardbirds one was too easy. But first you have to answer this - which Australian proto-Goth named his first band after a Harold Pinter play, recorded a cover of 'By The Time I Get To Phoenix' and had a novel published (I think it was called 'The Ass & the Angel')?

rog
 
Nope, not Bad Brains with Henry on vocals - although that does sound like quite a band you've put together there, Chef.

Anybody else?

Nobody?

That one was the MC5. (Motor City Five - 'cause, you know, they make damn reliable cars over there in Detroit).

Ok. Here's another one. Which British band included these three twiddly guitarists in its ranks at different points during the '60s - Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page?

rog
 
The second question was way too easy, I demand a rematch!

Bad Brains+Henry did Kick ou the Jams... its on the 'Pump up the volume' soundtrack.

da chef
 
1. gorilla biscuits
2. fugazi
3. sick of it all
4. pearl jam
5. youth of today
6. minor threat
7. shelter
8. in my eyes
9. ignite
10. agnostic front

hurley you have a good list...i'm glad to see you and some others actually have good taste in music on here

ahhh man now i have made an ass out of my self

"See ya in Da Pit"
 
Ah, young love on the range...

Okay, Roger. This isn't a music history trivia question, but it's music related... Who knows the origin of Napster's name?
