Your Favorite Artists of all time

[The Doctor]

Who are you favorite artists of all time in the music realm?

Mine are:
Michael W. Smith, Two-Mix, and Rebecca St. James

[Kkun]

Blindside, Five Iron Frenzy, The Flaming Lips, Showbread, Linkin Park (shut up, I was 13), mewithoutYou, At the Drive-In.

[beau99]

U2, followed closely by Dir en grey.

[Stephen]

Pink Floyd has to be on top. I seriously was in my crib hearing them thanks to my father. Common Children and Project 86 are my 2 top Christian bands. Also getting honorable mention are Cold, Rammstein, Static X, The Benjamin Gate, Smashing Pumpkins, Rob Zombie, (and I could care less if I am laughed at) Tatu.

I'm absolutely obsessed with The Who at the moment, I've been listening to Great Big Sea and Jars of Clay for about a decade now, I respect The Beatles and Flogging Molly is a hoot. U2's pretty nifty too, but not so much the new stuff.

[Radical Dreamer]

Hmm...of all time? Billy Joel (the man is legendary, he's got to go at the top of my list XD), Mae, The Early November (they actually used to be my favorite, and though my tastes have changed somewhat, I still like them a lot), Copeland, and Anberlin. There's probably more, but I'll leave it at that for now. XD

[Tommy]

The list is endless truly. I'll just hand out favorite random ones:

Showbread, MxPx, Agalloch, In Flames, and Cross Movement.

I'm with you. Just too many to count, so here's a few:
Goo Goo Dolls, New Found Glory(even though the quality of their music is slowly degrading), Do as Infinity, Red Hot Chili Peppers.

New Found Glory(even though the quality of their music is slowly degrading)

Oh, you think so? I actually thought that Jordan's voice sounded much better, if different, on the new album.

[The Doctor]

Pink Floyd? Wow.

[Tommy]

Yeah, Pink Floyd.
If you dislike them, then you should try "listening" to them. =D

The Flaming Lips are so weird yet good! XD

[Tenshi no Ai]

Red, Spoken, Yuki Kajiura and a huge portion of her works (though not every single one), and TWO-MIX.

[rocklobster]

The B-52s, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Led Zeppelin, and Pink Floyd.

Why is the new New Found Glory CD degraded from their old stuff? It's awesome.

[Ichigo_89]

uhm, a couple off the top of my head:

Norma Jean & Mutemath

[Rachel]

my favorite band of all time is U2.

[shojoiscool2]

Christian: Zoe Girl, Out of Eden

Pop:Kelly Clarkson

Asian Pop:Hikaru Utada, Ayumi, Wang Leehom, Kangta, Brown eyes, Ken Hirai, Koyote

Rock/Other: Switchfoot, Michelle Branch, Evanescence, Ryan Cabrara, Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, Celine Dion

[Zilch]

I could never decide on a favorite artist, but there are very few albums I consider perfect, as in, I can listen to them from start to finish without skipping a song. Those two are East West's The Light In Guinevere's Garden and Subseven's Free To Conquer. Amazing, amazing albums that combine the harsh with the gentle, love songs with the harsh ones. So there you have it.

[Phantom_Sorano]

The Who, Bangles, Orange Rush, Stevie Wonder, Whitney Houston, Phil Collins, Lionel Richie, J. Farrar, U2, Temptations, Animotion, Bach, Tchsarchoivsky (sp), Beethoven, Mozart, Haydn, Handel, and Benny Goodman to name a few.

80's music is awesome!!

FTW!

[Fish and Chips]

I'd have to say my favorite band right now is Flogging Molly, as well as a small handful of Japanese artists, though really I'm not much of a band/artist person. I tend to enjoy individual songs over an entire body of work, so I have a wide range of taste when it comes to music.

Anything except rap, "Screech" metal, and church hymns (yes, church hymns).

[Tommy]

"Screech" metal?
Call me ignorant, but I've never heard that term.
Could you please name a couple bands under that label.

[Radical Dreamer]

I'm guessing he's like me and isn't big on naming genres. I take "screech" to mean the same thing as "screaming". XD Just a guess, though. XD

[Tommy]

I suppose.

If you don't like music with screaming then those who do don't expect you to research it's name.

So "Screeching Music" COULD be in reference to Screamo, Death Metal, Melodic Death Metal, Black Metal, Metalcore, ect. I suppose.

[Fish and Chips]

"Screech" metal?
Call me ignorant, but I've never heard that term.
Could you please name a couple bands under that label.

Hence, the strategically places "Quotation marks."

I've heard some good Metal, so no beef there. Just when the vocalists swap actually singing for screeching or screaming. That said, I usually don't like screaming passing for singing under any genre.

[craner]

Thrice, Coheed and Cambria, Muse, The Postal Service, Dustin Kensrue.

[Kuro-Mizu]

Mne would have to be skillet, thosand fot krutch and Three Days Grace.

[Blitzkrieg1701]

THE BEATLES

The lower rankings on my list of favorites are hotly contested by The Monkees, PFR, GO!GO!7188, of Montreal, The Zombies, the pillows, The Apples (in stereo), The Beach Boys, Puffy AmiYumi, The Left Banke, The Flaming Lips, and many more I'm forgetting, but that top spot is undisputed.
