TDoL's Top 21 Bands/Artists and Other Kewl Stuff

[Birch Boy]

blunt. Slayer

Epic combination is epic.

[True Death of Life]

 

[zxlkho]

Props for including Shinedown. They're probably the best mainstream band out there that's not called Alter Bridge.

*exuberates respect for letters*

Boy, talk about being all over the place.  Nice list though, and your father giving you Fragile at ten is just awesome.  I was turned on to it at seven by my older brothers.  We used to play rock band(playacting, not the video game) and I was always the drummer.

[jsem]

Megadeth

Yeah, I have a somewhat awkward music taste.

But it helps me get along with a bunch of people

Awkward music taste?
This thread would suggest so, but diversity and appriciating different genres shows musical maturity.

Offspring

Your face

[Birch Boy]

Offspring

Your face

This

[Ultimetalhead]

Offspring

Your face

This

Indeed

[jsem]

 

Offspring

Your face

This

Indeed

I won't retract that statement. Offspring doesn't belong anywhere near the top 21, they have some cool tunes though but not enough to make it that high on the list imho.

[AcidLameLTE]

And we obviously don't expect you to.

Also, just for future reference, don't take anything I say to heart...particularly when my come back is "your face"

[glaurung]

Pro tip: Just call Acidrain an iain any time you see him post.

Iain is one of Acid's his friends. He's an Iain.

[AcidLameLTE]

He certainly isn't one of my friends.

[Ultimetalhead]

He's your best friend.

[glaurung]

He's your best friend.

Yeah, you two are bros. You go waaaay back.

[Gadough]

Man, I wish that Iain guy posted here.

Oh, wait.

He does!

[Dimitrius]

Yes he does but everyone scared him away when he signed up.

Okay to get back on topic:


6. Porcupine Tree- I had my first taste of this band just a few months ago, and look at where they are in my favorites! That fateful day that I listened to “Deadwing” all the way through was one of the more glorious days of my teenage life.

I don’t care what anyone says; you can always find something you’ll like in this band’s discography, no matter who you are. I’m sure of that. The fact that Steven Wilson can just keep on whipping out not only amazing songs but amazing albums astounds me.

Porcupine Tree’s strong points, I think, are the amazing musicality and technicality of their compositions. Many of their songs are full of one incredible riff after another, and they flow effortlessly into each other. I also love the certain eeriness many of their songs contain—and then it’s “OH HELLO AWESOME MIND-BOGGLING RIFF” and back to the mystical fingerpicking and Steven Wilson’s whispery voice. (Listen to Arriving Somewhere But Not Here and you’ll get exactly what I mean.)

Thank you so much letters, Sigz, and anyone else that guided my into the loving hands of Porcupine Tree—I honestly cannot get enough!
