Top 5 Favourite Bands

[Sam]

Actually I want to revise my selection to Lou Reed, John Cale, Nico, Sterling Morrison and Moe Tucker.

In fact screw it I'll do this properly:

The Velvet Underground (and Nico)
Iggy and the Stooges
The Smiths
My Bloody Valentine
Suede

And that's chronological because it is impossible for me to choose between those five.
There are more of course.

I fear I have entered my metal phase at the wrong time, I seem to be doing it as I get to the stage where my tastes should have matured a little. Thankfully I've gone through my Hip Hop stage, I still enjoy it, I just won't be buying too much more.

I've often wondered if I will hit this stage. Is it possible to still enjoy rap when I'm 80? Give me an Eminem track from 2000 over Mumford and Sons any day.

1. The Black Keys
2. Rolling Stones
3. The Libertines
4. Led Zep
5. Biffy Clyro

Honourable mentions go to Frank Turner, Arctic Monkeys, NIN. The list would change all the time though tbh. The Black Keys are a constant favourite, as are the Stones. Other than that though, most bands in a top 10 would change weekly if not daily. Led Zep, for example. Some times I love em, other times they do my head in!

If my lastfm is to be believed:

1. Elliott Smith
2. Mogwai
3. Sigur Rós
4. The Smiths
5. Belle & Sebastian

Not convinced by that list but I'm not sure who I would put in it! Changes on a fairly regular basis.

FUCK I forgot Elliott Smith as well!!!! Though his music would probably get me down in the "desert island" scenario...

Haha, yeah, not exactly what you want in that situation.
I struggle to find truly cheery music in my library to be honest...hopefully not a reflection of my personality

So true. When I examined my spotify libary the other day and realised how many of my favourite artists had comitted suicide, it was a bit grim!

Yeah, I've done that too before. Elliott Smith, Nick Drake, Ian Curtis... Ah well, I'm happy being a depressing bugger with my music taste, just don't ask me to provide the music for a party...

This is why this thread is an impossible task because I've picked my top 5 and didn't include Foals and Arctic Monkeys! I also love Sigur Ros and so on...
