If it's strictly bands then it has to be the Foo Fighters!  :notworthy:

Why? The most immense live band on the planet!

Would go with that  :happy2:

Chilli Peppers are up there for live performances!! First saw them about 20 years ago in a club in Brighton and didn't lose anything when they got BIG and moved to the stadiums!!

Favourite Band: The Rolling Stones.

Why? - Does anyone really need the reasons why spelt out? - I think this video speaks for itself:

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x8riri_the-rolling-stones-sympathy-for-the_music


Other favourites include Prince, Led Zeppelin, War, Queen, Fleetwood Mac, Pink Floyd, Bob Marley, Stevie Wonder, and many more.

Prince,

Or (if strictly talking bands)

Prince and the Revolution

Or

Prince and the NPG


Lots more favourites but Prince is still the best.

Yep, I agree - I think Prince is a genius. Have you ever seen him perform live?   :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:
Title: Re: Members Favourite Bands ?
Post by: Bernhard30 on June 28, 2012, 01:09:13 am
Bit of a mix for me.

Top of my artist list; Elton John, sublime in my view.
Better vocalist and piano player than some give him credit for. IMHO.

Then in no particular order: Faithless, Prodigy, Manics, Foos, Queen.

Faithless in particular alas they are no more. I also really like 80's/90's stuff a lot so bands like Simple Minds, The Human League and New Order.  Can't put my finger on why - it's just stuff that gets me nodding my head, tapping my feet and sometimes I get me air drumsticks out!
Title: Re: Members Favourite Bands ?
Post by: S800BRN on June 28, 2012, 09:07:12 pm
Pearl Jam are probably my favourite band. At the moment I'm listening to The Shins and The Walkmen's most recent albums. Interpol are a favourite, I like too much bands to mention them all.

It might be my age but I genuinely have absolutely no idea what ANY of this means!!

What does PWEI stand for? And your reason why are a large multi wheeled vehicle, intercourse (or lack of according to your statement) and a flower used in remembrance for the fallen.

Saw Def Leppard in their "Hysteria" days in Bristol and their backing group Tesla blew them away, still listen to them today.

Aretha and Tina, that's just greedy in one year.  Aretha's voice singing "Respect" is something special.  :notworthy:

There is a lot of love for the late 80's/early 90's going on here. I think that says a lot about the average age of mk5 GTI owners :) like many others my faves are:

Radiohead
Manics
Massive attack
Doves
James
Portishead
Blur
Chilli's
Primal Scream
Cast

And I'm slightly surprised to see Muse not get a mention yet, the best live act ever bar none (hence they always win that award) sorry foo's fans  :booty:
