Re: Favorite Band

Nine Inch Nails is IT for me. No other band is as pregressive, aggressive and intelligent.

Closer is my favorite song.

Re: Favorite Band

NiN just played Madison Square Garden, and I missed it ~:mecry: . Hell, I haven't even heard Trent's newest CD yet.

I can't choose a favorite really, but by default I answer this question with:
LED ZEPPELIN
cuz they prolly come closest to my favorite of all time.

Got to be them.

I saw My Chemical Romance on Thursday though. I think I was the only person not in black with a red tie there. Was pretty poor, although they seemed really good after Every Time I Die, who were probably the crappiest band to ever be allowed on stage without being shot after.

The Alan Parsons Project has been spinning on my record player and CD player since 1977 far more than just about everything else I have put together. ~:cool:

Re: Favorite Band

Pink Floyd for sure. If it were a modern group I'd choose Godspeed You Black Emperor!, along with some other parts of that collective.

Re: Favorite Band

Oh, man... that is a tough one. All the blues players are really good- I haven't heard a Fred McDowell, Muddy Waters, or Lightnin' Hopkins song I haven't liked. As far as contemporary bands, I have a lot of favorites- mainly "when they're good, they're GOOD bands. Iron Butterfly is at the top of that list, followed closely by Blue Cheer, and the Doors, and Jefferson Airplane is on there too. However, there are only two bands I can think of that are (were, actually) nearly perfect:

The Jimi Hendrix Experience.

But not Band of Gypsies.

Edit: oh yeah, Big Brother and the Holding Company was really good when they had miss Joplin.

Yeah! Someone else who puts Jefferson Airplane on their favorites list. :hippie:

And just seeing Iron Butterfly and Blue Cheer mentioned is a treat.

Re: Favorite Band

Tough call. I don't really have a favourite band...I move on to other sounds pretty quickly. I guess Negligent Collateral Collapse can be considered my favourite band at this point. That or Immortal. Immortal will never stop being awesome.

Re: Favorite Band

Trent Reznor is good, but the lack of talent needed for his industrial style makes his songs a little less good in my mind...

They're still pretty good...

(look at my list. Other page)

Sorry for the bad comment. I don't agree with you, and I don't like your taste in music.

To understand Trent's appeal, it helps to be intimately familiar with the wide variety of emotions that accompany severe depression. From the standpoint of musical "talent," I think it's important to distinguish between mechanics and artistry; one is a Mind/Body thing, the other a Heart/Soul thing. Trent's musical mechanics are relatively simple. His artistry--while offered in a style that is difficult for many to relate to--is pure genius to those who understand where he's coming from, who've been there or are there themselves. I think that's why he's popular, and has been for so long. It is a bit disturbing to see so many who relate to his stuff though .... But, that's the way it is *shrugs*.

I suspect you can relate to it or know where it comes from ? I can too, big time! I don't know many others who do though, although I wouldn't because I am pretty isolationist in my own way.

I agree with everything you said except for the part where you say that his mechanics are simple. It's not so simple to mix random sounds into something that sounds cool, and then teach all your bandmates to do it again. Compared to most bands,( ie Greenday, or System of a Down), NIN is more complicated, experimental, and creative then anything they could put together if their lives depended on it. I understand you like to play music using keyboards so your responce took me by surprise. I hope you're not angry at me.
