Top 5 favourite bands

Really hard to narrow it down to just five. I'm always changing my mind on the bands I listen to most. My favourite is without doubt Killswitch Engage but the other four are just "in no particular order":

1. Killswitch Engage
2. The Script
3. Paramore
4. Coldplay
5. Breaking Benjamin

Shit, tough one...I know who my top two favorite bands are, but from there it gets a bit convoluted. Narrowing it down to five is pretty much impossible, so let's see if I can do it in 10 or 15 (in no particular order after 1 and 2):

1) Led Zeppelin
2) Iron Maiden
Black Sabbath (most eras)
Pink Floyd
Dream Theater
Any of Steven Wilson's multiple projects
Anathema (particularly the latter era)
Nine Inch Nails
Tool
Megadeth (despite the existence of Risk and their latest turd sandwich of an album)
Metallica, up to and including The Black Album (although I'm sick to death of that particular release)
Opeth
Mostly Autumn
Rush
Ayreon
The Gathering

I've tried throughout the years, I really have, to narrow down the field, but I just can't. Different bands mean different things to me, and, I dunno, it's sort of like trying to pick your favorite children numerically 😄. I could name my top albums ever though, strangely enough, although the list is fucking huge!

Yeah, a top albums ever thread would be sweet. However, in my typical overblown manner I'd have to expand it somewhat past 5 😉

No particular order, I've been listening to these bands on heavy rotation for a while. In the case of Wu it's been steady for 20 years

The Melvins
Clutch
Tool
Faith No More
Wu-Tang

I was going into my house today before some Irish guy stopped me from going in, he asked me how long I have been living here and I told him. He said that one guy from Iron Maiden used to live in my house, I can't remember the name he said and I'm not really a fan but I thought it owuld be cool for someone who was.

I want to do 10... i 've been giving it a lot of thought and i'm going to be 31 years old this summmer i feel like i've gone through my phases and can safely say this right... well maybe.

somewhat in order but not really.

1 - Phish (what can i say? the concerts are like a summer vacation... going to chicago again this summer for 3 nights without hearing the same song played the next show)
2 - Tool
3 - Pink Floyd
4 - Metallica
5 - The Grateful Dead
6 - Rush
7 - Rage Against The Machine
8 - The Doors
9 - Rammstein
10- Talking Heads ( this band called it quits too soon and you had entertainment like this during the shows

there is stuff i left off... CCR, Cream, Jimi Hendrix and band of gypsies or experience, Sabbath, Megadeth, Primus,Daft Punk and many others but the stuff i counted matters most.

Was wondering what's peoples tastes are really... If I had to pick 5 groups/musicians to listen to if I was stuck somewhere with all their albums id be choosing the following:

1. The Scorpions
2. Red
3. Alter Bridge
4. AC/DC
5. 3 Doors Down

Hello, everyone!
Nowadays I like music of different genres, but most often I find myself in the world of electronic music. This genre always fascinates me with its energy and atmosphere.
My 5 favorite bands are :
1.Daft Punk
2.The Chemical Brothers
3.Kraftwerk
4.Justice
5.Disclosure
For the same fans of akos music, I would like to recommend the platform https://volumo.com/ . Here you can find an incredible number of tracks in MP3, WAV, AIFF and FLAC formats,

And ten years later, I have no idea what I was on when I came up with that list!

I think the only way foe mw to figure this out is via Spotify. So my top 5 from this month is:

Muse
Iron Maiden
Judas Priest
Metallica
Queen

But I mostly listen to Planet rock too, so whatever they're playing at any given moment! :-P
