Do You Know Your Favorite Band?

[11:11]

If someone were to ask you to write a paper about your favorite band and explain why, would you be able to pick your favorite band? (If you have more than one absolute favorite, then the answer is no, simple as that.)

[thehereaway]

It changes all the time, so no. Yours wouldn't happen to be Forgive Durden would it?

[ManicanParty49]

Blink. I have favorite albums by other bands, but Blink have always been my #1 band since I originally got into them.

[phil19]

alkaline trio

[liveloud4life]

He Is Legend, and I just keep liking them more every time I listen to them.

[didwhat77times]

No, and I hope I'm never able to. I love great music and I'll listen to as much of it as I can find.
It took me almost eight months to make the 757 song playlist to put on my ipod nano (cutting the last 200 was embarrassingly difficult).

[MyNameIsRoss]

Yes.

[Protested Hero]

Coheed.

[phoenixinflames]

<------

[dpetty21]

<------

Great choice.They got number two for me. I went back and forth for years between STD and NFG and after long consideration I decided New Found Glory was ahead by a tiny bit so they get my vote.

[just.Starla.]

No because it changes a lot.

[WasteofPaint31]

Thrice
because they have progressed as I have matured.

[Helpless]

Rise Against, ever since when I first got RPM

[fadedmemories]

Fo sho!

[queenofcrouton]

Yes, without hesitation. After the first and second favorites it gets difficult to order bands.

[TangledUp]

Yep. I mean there a lot of bands I adore and are my favorites, but I have only one all time favorite, and that never changes - blink.

[jordalsh]

It changes often, but when it does i can tell and know which one is my favorite
if that makes sense
Normally Punchline or Saves the Day though
right now Punchline

[MADSTA]

Band? No.
Artist? Yes.

[IceAge/HeatWave]

yes, i have my favorite band. foo fighters. i don't even understand why, just for me personally everything seems so perfect with them. plus the guys in that band are the best guys of all time.

[Machu505]

Yes, Cursive.

[11:11]

It changes all the time, so no. Yours wouldn't happen to be Forgive Durden would it?
No, but they're up there. My favorite is actually Northstar. I just love the cover for Wonderland.
Band? No.
Artist? Yes.
That counts.

[MADSTA]

Elliott Smith.

[fadedmemories]

This is too easy haha.

[andrew_upto11]

Taking Back Sunday. They pretty much got me into cool music.

[jwb9484]

Brand New. Hands down

[AussieBoy]

yesm limp bizkit

[SeanEBoy2686]

yes... of course

[Piss]

saosin for me

[Ryzenfall]

Favorite is a broad word.
Band is a broad word.
? is a broad punctuation mark.

[jay_klinkhammer]

No, and I hope I'm never able to. I love great music and I'll listen to as much of it as I can find.
It took me almost eight months to make the 757 song playlist to put on my ipod nano (cutting the last 200 was embarrassingly difficult).



Grow up and a get a real mp3 player with some room on it.




Oh and to answer the question. Yes. Mineral. Forever and always.

[TheZeroKid]

I have always loved Metallica. Sure, some albums are better than others, but I've liked every single one. They're my all-time favorite. As far as "Current favorite" I dunno, it varies. But, I can name my top 13 all-time favorites off the top of my head.

[nickthehick2]

I can't, it's constantly changing between Death Cab, Modest Mouse, and Say Anything.

[nickthehick2]

I cannot, it's always changing between Modest Mouse, Death Cab, and Say Anything.

[oddwithoutend]

brand new

[3ebSCJM]

i could name my top 5 off hand. after that, i'm not sure. Jack's Mannequin/ Something Corporate, Jimmy Eat World, Brand New, Third Eye Blind, The Format/ Fun. and yes i realize that's 7 but the one's that are paired are together for obvious reasons

[notoaststereo]

third eye blind.

but currently i'm listening to a lot of The Hold Steady

[Troggy]

I have a really solid top 6, but I can't pick between them.

[kolby182]

brand new

[BrokenMirror]

Thrice, easily. First band I ever saw live, The Artist in the Ambulance was one of my first real album purchases, and Vheissu is still my favourite of all-time.

[Alex Djaferis]

Thrice.

nothing comes close to the amount of love i have for this band.

[hannah1090]

i have a top four and i couldnt possibly choose a favorite between them

[ElevenElm]

bayside.

[Poe-tryGirl]

Yes, but I won't say here.

[Keagan Ilvonen]

No way.

[princesschad]

Yes.

Brand New.

[TangledUp]

Yes, but I won't say here.
You shouldn't be embarrassed to say who your favorite band is!

[kennell_69]

Rancid

[yourbiggestflan]

Further Seems Forever, Underoath, Thrice, Manchester Orchestra, Brand New, Taking Back Sunday, Linkin Park, Skillet, Emery, Relient K, and O.C. Supertones have all been some of my favrite band(s) at points. Right now I'd have to say Manchester Orchestra because their new cd just got 5 stars and Virgin was my favorite and most-played cd last year. But yeah, it's constantly changing and I love it. you're never ALWAYS gonna be in the mood for one band or cd, so why not embrace the feeling when you have it? I just don't think you should limit yourself to feel things due to "old time sake"...

[Bloodsucker II]

As Cities Burn.

Or Thrice.

[futilespider]

easy. its easy for my top 5.

Blink 182
New Found Glory
The Matches
Say Anything
Weezer

[AussieBoy]

blink-182

then

NFG
unwritten law
parkway drive
fightstar
rise against
funeral for a friend

[yoyostring]

say anything.

i love so many bands, but say anything is just...me.

[Poe-tryGirl]

You shouldn't be embarrassed to say who your favorite band is!
Oh, I'm so not ashamed. I just know that most people here don't enjoy them. It's My Chemical Romance, btw.

[hananna]

saves the day :D
then it gets all complicated after that, and changes abit!

[circatbs]

blink-182. forever.

[Neo Cassady]

Nope. I have 3 or 4 that rotate that top spot.

[fueledbyvictory]

I don't think so. I've got a lot of favorites, but Blink usually comes to mind as "my FAVORITE."

[etheritcher]

the matches

[George-Michael]

Alkaline Trio.

[SteffRyanFail]

It's pretty hard for me, because when I think "favorite" there is a couple bands that come to mind.
And I could never really chose between any of them because they're all different and I love them all for different reasons.

[screamoutmyname]

saves the day for sure

[Brett3]

Yes, easily for me.

[TallSteve15]

blink
easy

[murrich]

I have a top 2, can't really choose between them though.

Tom Waits, Simon and Garfunkel.

[ryheeles]

As much as I would love to say yes, there are at least 4 bands that I consider my favorite at any given time, and for many different reasons. (NFG, Blink, TSL, SYG, and I'm sure there are others)

[plain white t's]

Pennywise

[PopPunkKid]

My all-time favorite is Weezer, but my "current favorite" changes alot... most recently though, it's been Panic.

[TangledUp]

My all-time favorite is Weezer, but my "current favorite" changes alot... most recently though, it's been Panic.
Weezer is definitely awesome.

[Liz_who?]

MxPx

[Brokenhill]

101% sure that it is Pink Floyd, and 99.9% sure that it will always be.

Always.

[carnotaurhunter]

blink.

[rivers cuomo]

<------

works for me too.

[Kevward]

Thrice
because they have progressed as I have matured.

I find it very creepy that I was about to to say something nearly identical to that.

Mmmmmmmmmm...... Thrice

[CloseToShore]

Thrice
because they have progressed as I have matured.

Same.

[tonighttonight0]

Yes, the Beatles. As cliche as that is to say as a favorite band.

[cscwell107]

New Found Glory. Easily.

[sasalukac]

no. it constantly changes. i went from the used, to tbs, to saosin, to mewithoutyou, to... i don't know now...

[Kaku]

Nope, depends on my mood and on the weather and season. Yeah, without shit, there are records and bands I like to listen to when it is summer or winter, because of the feeling and atmosphere I associate with it.

[wheresadalia]

my favorite at the moment may change, and i have a lot of bands that i absolutely love and are in my favorites. but yes, my all time favorite is Madina Lake. i love those guys, they are one of the main reasons i even got into music as much as i have the past couple years, and i have made so many friends/ strengthened friendships through them

[Iron Aeroplane]

I could narrow it down to a top five, but not one favorite.

[Theseventhson]

Glassjaw and Brand New, so I had to say no.

[Alex DiVincenzo]

Sometimes it depends, but since blink came back I can confidently say it's them

[brtnsnw4]

Pink Floyd. Best band there ever will be

[Brokenhill]

Pink Floyd. Best band there ever will be

Truth.

[Un'Aria Ancora]

Favorite = Radiohead. I didn't even know that until one day I realized that I listen to them way more than any other band. I've come to the conclusion that they are the greatest band of all time. They've taken The Beatles throne.

[Brokenhill]

Favorite = Radiohead. I didn't even know that until one day I realized that I listen to them way more than any other band. I've come to the conclusion that they are the greatest band of all time. They've taken The Beatles throne.

Lie.

[Un'Aria Ancora]

Lie.

Don't worry, Pink Floyd is very close behind.

[Yellowcard2006]

[TangledUp]

Fall Out Boy.
Nice. :ok: They're in my top 5.

[Shin Akuma]

[cburton92]

Saves The Day.

[Theseventhson]

haha. you make me laugh. do you even know the artists and bands i've mentioned? well you probably have now coz you googled them, myspace them...you know, done all you're research. cool boy.
No, I know them. It's just that we're talking pop music, and at the end of the day, all pop music is very similar.

[n1asfan]

Yup -Thrice

[flow2345]

All bands have their highs and lows so I can't say I have a definite favorite.

[Broden Terry]

I guess no because I have two favorite bands :shrug:

[Kobrakai09]

Nope, changes too frequently.
I'd be able to list a top 5 or 10 though, I think.

[stereokiller]

The Matches. Because Decomposer.

[stereokiller]

Saves The Day.

just because whatever mood i'm in i can listen to at least one of their records

STD is fuckin' contagious. amazing band with diverse albums.

[11:11]

If strictly limited to bands and not artists, no.
Artists are fine too. It's the spirit of the poll, not the letter of the poll.

[eriatarka24]

PARAMORE!!!

Don't care what you say, haha.
