The Music Forum's Favorite Artists

[chipdip18]

Another lengthy list that people will complain about; it'll be fun.


Make a list of your favorite 30 artists. The ranking will be specific to point values, here they are:

1st - 5th = 5 points
6th - 10th = 3 points
11th - 20th = 2 points
21st - 30th = 1point

Notice that each section is all worth the same, so don't complain about not being to decide your all time favorite artist because this point system is more based on group than individual preferences. However when they are tallied up, the ranking will show the artists in order, not grouped.

The thread will be open for putting up lists for 7-10 days.


The last day you can edit/post lists is August 8th at 11:59 PM. The tallying will begin August 9th.

Hot!

I'd get rid of the post count rule, though. It took me forever to even crack a thousand, and I think everybody should be encouraged to participate.

[Troggy]

Very well. Let's do iiiiiiit.

[chipdip18]

Really? i want to avoid a top three of Brand New Say Anything and some other overhyped band.

Can you really help it though? They'd be on so many people's lists.

I can guarantee you'll get it with or without the post count rule, haha.

It'll be fun seeing everyone's lists.

I might lower the post count, but not get rid of it. Maybe the rule is that they get 1/2 a point no matter where they are? haha.

[chipdip18]

this is ap.net, remember. haha.


Hahaha. Why AP.net, Why!!?

[El_Jeffe]

[Yes. And?]

mmmmm.....lists.

[Jumpoff]

The Menzingers will be on my list too, but I think they're a longshot.

Yep. Which is why I said I half assed that list haha. I just put down whichever band I like that I could think of and tried to keep the obvious choices up top, but even that went out the window by the end of it :-p

My list is downright terrible. I actually really need to fix it, but it seems like it would take far too long to make a list I could be proud of... and I rather make two lists one with rock and the rest and one with purely rap but can't do that :-(

[El_Jeffe]

I wonder if any of your picks will make the final cut.

haha i'm not too worried. i've long since realized those odds are never in my favour. i enjoy what i enjoy & so does everyone else haha. we'll see how it plays out

haha edit it when you get time? up to you brother. there's some great stuff on the list, just never realized you were so keen on bands like neutral milk hotel etc

[Jumpoff]

Haha yeah, I like those bands. More of a recent thing due to this site actually, but still a great band. I just changed it up a lot, it's better in my opinion now but still not 100% what I want. :shrug:

nothing wrong with them, i do too haha. so i see, green, gaye & hepcat were in contention of mine too. these are tough because besides about half a dozen bands that i always hold slightly above the rest, all my other favourites just come from a big pool of bands i really love. if that makes sense?

didn't know you were into so much more punk orientated tunes. i think that's what surprised me haha

Yeah, I get what you mean. Same here basically. There's obvious ones that will make the list but there's so many choices for the rest that it's somewhat hard to make hte list definitive.

Punk was probably my biggest change in music taste and it was relatively recently. Fell in love with some bands and they've been dominating my playlists.. Oddly enough, haven't been listening to much hip hop. I feel like I've almost exhausted a lot of my favorites of the genre and new releases just aren't doing it for me

WeezerKeep in mind, this isn't an objective list in the least. Quite frankly, if it were, it would be a travesty. Dylan - Sloan before Costello? Cursive before The Velvet Underground? Thursday before Sonic Youth? This is merely my subjective "favorite artists" list, one that is bound to change drastically in my lifetime (no pun intended).

Revised. 1st Sonic Youth should have been Stereolab.

how disgusted are we so far, Vinh? ;-)

Why would he be disgusted by a double post of the same band?

[handlikesecret]

Not at all. I haven't forgotten where I am.
alrighty, that's good. i think it's all going rather well, even if most of them are completely different than mine.

[handlikesecret]

Why would he be disgusted by a double post of the same band?
not that, i was talking about the lists overall.

[kearn1tm]

Went about it the same way. Who would you really put in the vacant spot?

Stereolab, though I was highly considering Merle Haggard, as my list is sorely lacking any Country, but I hesitated to place a Country artist just for the sake of diversity when it's my subjective list, but needless to say, he was close.

[IWasaCamera]

It can't really go horribly when you're listing favorites as opposed to best/essential. People enjoy what they enjoy.

Haggard, nice. Never been too keen on Stereolab though.

words of truth.

[kearn1tm]

Well, it is AP, and there isn't anything inherently wrong with having your favorites list primarily comprised of SceneStars, especially considering the age of these guys.

Hell, I'm quite sure most of us came here initially out of some love for scene stuff. I still hold my affinity for early '00s Post-Hardcore, mid '90s Midwestern Emo, mid-to-late '90s Screamo and extremely awful Pop Punk. Fall Out Boy, Saves the Day, Alexisonfire, SoCo, Brand New, Saetia, Funeral Diner, The Promise Ring, Texas is the Reason, and Cap'n Jazz would all hold places in my "Top 100," good or bad.

oh i definitely agree. i was just messing with Vinh, because i know a lot of his comments are used making fun of those bands. that's all.

:pet: it's okay, Kenny will forgive you.

nice to see Number One Gun though, good stuff.

[kearn1tm]

Haggard, nice. Never been too keen on Stereolab though.

It's always disappointing when people who speak of the '50s-'70s era in Country primarily list the usual suspects; Cash, Jennings, Williams, and leave off Haggard. He gets his due, but not to the degree his talent merits.

[kearn1tm]

oh i definitely agree. i was just messing with Vinh, because i know a lot of his comments are used making fun of those bands. that's all.

Cool, cool.

I find one of the biggest annoyances or reasons to make fun of people on this board are the cats who either: 1.) Enjoy only scene music (which is fine), but go on to proclaim it to be much better than it is or make boastful statements like "this artist is subversive" or "best of all time" or some other ignorant comments that only display the user's lack of musical perspective and knowledge. 2.) The scene or Indie cats who take themselves and their taste far too seriously.

I've only been here a year and a half and actively participating on the boards since around December '07, but I've come to respect this Vinh cat's opinions and find his taste in music to be impeccable (in the subjective sense). I'd say something similar about that Ben fella.

[kearn1tm]

And I've disgraced At The Drive In.

Sparta and post-Comatorium Mars Volta does that all on its own.

Ba-Zing!

[absolutecrunk]

Also, Lil Jon has an honorary number 1 that I failed to mention in my list.

yeah both groups are annoying. i mostly listen to pop punk, i'm not gonna lie. but i'm open to just about anything. and i have the utmost respect for bands that deserve it, they're just not on my favorites list. i think that's really all you can ask from people.

and yeah, i definitely respect Vinh and Ben's music tastes. we don't agree, but i pretty much respect/like most of their music.

Right. And that's the thing; nobody is judging you for digging Pop Punk. I love that subgenre myself.

It's just a shame that more people on AP.net can't have a more objective perspective on it. A little self-deprecation wouldn't hurt either. I love the "luminary Pop Punk albums" of the '00s; TTTYG, Deja, TAYF, Leaving Through the Window, Stay What You Are, Bleed American, etc. I dig them all. I really do. However, I also realize that they're what I want to listen to when I need something fast, loud, superficial and devoid of much depth and substance. They're fun. They're angst-laden. They're appealing to my adolescent side and that's something that will always stick with me. However, it's rather annoying when the AP kids don't look past this and boast about these works to hyperbolic proportion and refuse to recognize the faults and limitations of this rather one-dimensional subgenre.

Again, a little perspective, a little objectivity and a little self-deprecation can go a long way.

I understand your reasoning, but Sunshine is already one of my favorite songs ever created, and the other 4 songs I've heard from them are climbing that list too. It wouldnt be fair if I didn't include them, IMO.

yeah Garrett! gotta get the Underoath love! :highfive:

well, of course! nothing would piss a ton of people on here off like them getting on the list.

yeah, maybe its just me, i just cant think of a band, even with only an EP i love every second of (cinematic sunrise) even getting into my list yet, because of just how little they've done. or atleast, i dont think id be able to put them so high.

I kind of out grew Underoath in a way. I love DTGL when it came out, but I really over played it, and I think their newest is just going to be a DTGL pt2. If they impress me with the new one they will creep back on there haha.

I'm not a big fan of the new song. I guess we'll see.

Buddy Holly will never get in anyway, there's too many better bands, like Emery.

It wasn't, it was much better live, and What Makes A Man A Man is one of the best songs they've ever written, but some of the elements they tried to add in (intro to Bore Us/Chorus comes to mind) just didn't work with them.

Yeah, I saw them the day before Mayday Parade joined, so it went from ACB to them and it was great. They were cut short two songs (Fractions and As Your Voice Fades, sadly) because of an ice storm. And yeah, both were amazing live.

Last time I checked someones favourite bands could still be fucking terrible. As I'm sure you'd agree when you laugh at the kids who put Aiden/Silverstein/MCR etc..

is out of place.

Ah shit, I forgot Leonard Cohen

[Nevuk]

Last time I checked someones favourite bands could still be fucking terrible. As I'm sure you'd agree when you laugh at the kids who put Aiden/Silverstein/MCR etc..
Yes. I put Champagne Champagne as my 7th, when they don't even have a release out. I just like following their progress and the 7-8 songs I have of theirs are top notch, but not top 7 of all the music I've ever heard.

[Regards]

It is not "out of place" at all. What kind of forum would this be if every post was....


I like/dislike this band/song/album.

If you feel differently to me that is fine, there's no need to discuss or debate it.


Doesn't sound much fun to me. I'll stick to the sports/politics forum in that case,
Eh, fair enough I suppose.

from the official Ataris thread, made April of last year:

in my top 10 fav bands

[TheOtherAndrew]

No one was putting him down.

[CellarGhosts]

Nope. it was just an observation, nothing wrong with it at all.

[MADSTA]

This will be difficult... but I'll do it.

[CellarGhosts]

This will be difficult... but I'll do it.
*sigh*

that's what she said.


I'm sorry, I'm an addict. It's like crack to me or something. I say it too often.

So don't mind me.

My friends are the same way, I understand. Maybe you can start group therapy?

[CellarGhosts]

Oh, I've thought about it. haha.

[HangsLikeHeaven]

I hate discovering new music. Actually, I don't like any bands I listed, but I really hope it makes me fit in on this site.

P.S: Where the fuck have you been? I miss you.

[HangsLikeHeaven]

[slenygoodbi]

haha what? Didn't you hear After The Gold Rush like two weeks ago?

Or just a namedrop to avoid an entirely laughable list.

Hmmm.

Buck Owens sadly gets the same treatment. Bakersfield country is really good.

Sadly, I haven't listened to nearly as much Buck Owens as I should. It's a shame and something I need to rectify.
