    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.

    Ace of Base, hands down
    A good runner up would be The Eagles

    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.
