Off Topic Top 5 Bands

I was hooked on Buddy Holly and The Crickets the first time I heard the introduction to That'll Be The Day on the radio at work. ( Giving something away there! ) My biggest claim to fame was actually seeing them live at the City Hall shortly before the fatal air crash that killed Buddy and the Big Bopper and Ritchie Valens who'd all been on the same bill at the City Hall. A sad loss indeed!

The Day the Music Died.

 

Mr Hudson, Mumford & Sons, Eminem, Enter Shikari, Rise Against, The Prodigy, Oasis.

Thats 7, oops.

They aren't all bands, oops.

 

Coldplay
Snow Patrol
White Lies
Doves
Muse

 

Also a huge shout out to Jimmy Eat World, Mumford and Sons, Biffy Clyro, The Enemy and Pigeon Detectives.

I sold my ticket for Pendulum in December, I was absolutely gutted I couldn't go

 

Saw them live at Godiva Festival in Coventry one year, wasn't impressed if I'm honest.

 

Two yorkshire bands like, I haven't seen them live but god their albums are immense.

 

That was 1958 when he played Newcastle, killed sadly in 1959.

 

I meant The Enemy haha, stupid quotes like. The Enemy are from Coventry aint they? Don't really pay attention to modern music if I'm honest!

 

Linkin park
Kings of Leon
Breaking Benjamin
Biffy Clyro
I'm probably all alone in musical taste out here

 

Far from it, I used to listen to a lot of Linkin Park. I like a few of KoL's songs and Biffy Clyro are immense.

 

Biffy are brilliant live! They supported muse at Wembley in September (9/11 it was) and they were epic. Almost got crushed in the mosh pit but still brilliant. White Lies were also there. What a day...


Yes, The Enemy are from Coventry, not yorkshire. My bad.

Nickelback need a mention, they were good live. Cheers me up when the toon got relegated lol.

And Travis. I MUST mention travis.

 

What do you think of the new Radiohead album?

Anyway, here's mine:

Red Hot Chili Peppers
Radiohead
Muse
Gorillaz
Plan B

 

It's won me over! Didn't take as long to get into as Kid A but it certainly has something! I'm addicted to it currently, everything else sounds quite flat and boring compared to it.

 

Hate the others but agree on Biffy, what a band.

 

I agree! I'm really enjoying Lotus Flower and Codex at the moment. It's a short album but you can just tell they've put a hell of a lot into all eight songs. Great stuff.

 

Codex is the best song on it for me, one of their best songs to date I think!

 

I couldn't hate them more hahaha

 

Thanks for reminding me about Radioheads new album. It's on the iToons download right now... you see what I did there?

 

Good Post!

Too many to mention but the ones that blow me away are-

Elbow
The Beatles
The Coral (last album was unreal)
Led Zeppelin
The Verve
The Who

 

Top five bands for me would be:

Rush
Deep Purple
Queen
Van Halen
Thin Lizzy

PS. I was at a 21st birthday party tonight, and the dancefloor rocked the most when pre-1990's bands were on!
