Top 10 Favorite Bands

Post Reply New Topic

I found it hard to pick one band as a favorite. So, I made one that asks for your top ten. Also, your favorite song from each band.

Are you looking just for bands, or can we include individual artists?

JSB

These are in no particular order:

Lacuna Coil (Songs: Spellbound, I Like It)
Within Temptation (Songs: Mother Nature, Never-Ending Story, Dark Wings, Angels)
The Birthday Massacre (Songs: Looking Glass, Red Stars)
Nightwish (Songs: Dark Chest of Wonders)
Metallica (Songs: Sanitarium, The Unforgiven, Orion)
Pantera (Songs: Walk, Message in Blood, Cowboys from Hell)
Alice in Chains (Songs: Down in a Hole, Would? Sunshine)
Rob Zombie (Songs: Meet the Creeper)
Marilyn Manson (Songs: Mobscene, Torniquet, Dried Up, Tied and Dead to the World)
Naio Ssaion (Songs: Blind Date, Yours Faithfully)

I tried to go with just bands, not musicians.

Hmm... in no particular order

Pink Floyd
ELO
AC/DC
The Beatles
Abba
The Sweet
Rolling Stones
Nightwish
Evanescence
