    Official Rock music thread

    Saw a Rap/Hip Hop thread and a Country Music thread (two genres I'm not a fan of) but no rock music thread. Classic Rock, Punk, Ska, Metal, alternative, Indie, folk, basically anything with guitars/drums/bass that isn't country....

    Some of my favorite bands of all-time are:

    Nirvana
    Foo Fighters
    Our Lady Peace
    Queens of the Stone Age
    The Offspring
    Weezer
    Red Hot Chili Peppers
    The Beatles

    Although my taste in rock music is very extensive and my favorite bands can vary week to week/day to day depending on my mood. I have almost 30,000 songs on my computer/ipod hahaha. If I like one song by a band I'll download their entire discography.

    what I'm listening to: http://www.last.fm/user/bd007h2

    my album collection: http://rateyourmusic.com/collection/bd007h/oo



    What are your favorite bands/singers/songs/etc.?

        Gotta love CCR. My sister made a pretty good CCR Greatest Hits Mix CD a few years ago that I put on my computer. It has all their classic hits.

          I'm slanted more towards alternative.

          Weezer is great, but I'm starting to slide away from them. They still haven't nailed it since Pinkerton, but Hurley had some good sounds.

          Here are some bands I've got in my list of songs to get:

          Vampire Weekend
          Matt and Kim (so much yes)
          The Thermals
          Cults
          Anberlin
          The Wombats
          Passion Pit
          Metric
          She Wants Revenge
          Foster the People
          Freelance Whales
          Manchester Orchestra
          I'm From Barcelona
          TV On The Radio
          The Futureheads

          At least that's what my current band rotation sounds like. I've also got a Last.fm.

          Listen to music from GIGGAS2’s library (53,443 tracks played). GIGGAS2’s top artists: "Weird Al" Yankovic, Poolside, Tame Impala. Get your own music profile at Last.fm, the world’s largest social music platform.


          Looks like bd and I have "SUPER" taste. Interesting, as I've never listened to 5 of his top 8 bands (last 12 months), lol.

            I love Weezer. More so their first 4 or 5 albums though, although I thought Hurley was a surprisingly good album (not just because Hurley is my last name, either haha). My first CD was Weezer's Blue album. Got it for Christmas from my Sister in 1994 (I was 8).

              Weezer's one of two artists I'd actually go buy the CD for.

              The second is "Weird Al", because he's my homeboy.



              Spoiler


              Honestly, though, I've gotten pretty into Vampire Weekend, Matt and Kim, and The Wombats recently.

                  I only started listening to music to a decent degree about 2 years ago so there's still so much I haven't heard yet and my interests can change a bit but essentially I like classic rock, hard rock (to a degree) and I guess you would say alternative. Started with the old stuff and worked myself up to the new music and like both so I have a pretty decent mix of stuff I listen to.

                  I'd like to last.fm but I never use it. I do most of my music listening on my Zune so.

                  EDIT: Oops forgot to list my artists I like.

                  The Who
                  Pink Floyd
                  The Beatles
                  Led Zeppelin
                  The Moody Blues
                  Heartless Bastards
                  Tame Impala
                  Arctic Monkeys
                  The Black Angels

                  Those get the most played songs from me.

                      Huge punk/rock/metal fan.

                      Bad Religion is by far my favorite band of all time. Others I love are No Fun At All, Pennywise, AFI, Metallica, Iron Maiden, System of a Down, Rammstein, Dire Straits, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Who, Hendrix, The Doors, The Eagles, Bush, Offspring, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Muse, Joe Satriani, Black Country Communion....

                        I used to be really in to modern rock but the last 5-7 years I've been listening mostly to R&B. However...

                        Breaking Benjamin(former now..)
                        12 Stones
                        Alter Bridge
                        Black Stone Cherry
                        Shooter Jennings(can you consider him southern rock maybe?)
                        Sevendust
                        Metallica
                        Atreyu



                        Theory of a Deadman was solid in their first 2 albums but have turned to **** since then IMO.

                          a lot of great bands listed here. Have you ever heard of the band Strung Out?

                            Are we allowed to talk concerts in this thread as well (notwithstanding the concert thread, wherever it is)? Cuz I'm going to see the Foo Fighters in November and it is going to be awesome I've also seen Muse (3x), Jimmy Eat World, U2, and Brand New. I want to see more bands live soon.

                            To the thread topic, my favorite bands at the moment are Foo Fighters, Lostprophets, Jimmy Eat World, and AC/DC.
