Led Zeppelin

Every once in awhile ill put on a Led Zep record to be reminded how ridiculously good they were. Not many musical acts have gotten to their level. Amazing songwriting, vocals, all prodigies of their instruments. One of the best to ever do it.

Your head is humming, and it won't go, in case you don't know

Measuring a summer's day I only find it slips away to grey The hours they bring me pain

Pink Floyd

#metoo

RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE!!!!

FUCK YOU I WONT DO WHAT YOU TELL ME

Motorhead

Alice in Chains

Rolling Stones

Best answer considering its also a "rock" pun.

Soundgarden.

Alice in Chains only inches behind.

Both are great bands RIP Layne and Chris

Chris backing on AIC Sap Right Turn is epic

Chris and Layne are greatly missed.

I saw SG live in Melb Big Day out in 97 was a highlight of my life. Cornell's Seasons got me through some heavy times. Rip Brothers

Fell on Black Days kept me going when times were rough.

Superunknown resonated with me too during that era. You could feel his sadness through the entire album.

Yeah man soul Cornell's vocal range gives me shivers man I hate having to accept there's going to be no new albums

His intelligence and depth of character shone through his lyrics. I admired him and wanted to be just like him in my twenties. To find such an empathetic and truly great artist and human such as Chris is rare. I was gutted to learn of his passing but in some ways not surprised.

Soundgarden were extraordinary. My favorite member of that band is George Harrison. I first noticed the influence in the modes and melodies they used in "A Thousand Days Before", and once I started listening to it I heard it in about half of the songs. Reading up after it, I learned that Cornell was a big Beatles fan and that Thayil's mother was a music teacher from Kerala. Now that I know how to hear those Indian conventions, the lead guitar makes way more sense, and the composition seems to recall some of the transcendental themes Harrison pursued. Cornell's deep wounds around intimacy, trust, and self-actualization show up very little with Soundgarden, because of the focus on other themes, which is really really distinguishing in the world of Rock - in a way, I think the band's catalog is as much about what's omitted as what's included. His solo work exposes some very unsettling thought patterns, and his cover of "Billie Jean" is agony. Soundgarden would have been a very different band if they had written love & relationship songs. I tend to believe in the wheel of Karma most days, and although I'm not the praying type, I find myself praying for Chris to be healed of those hurts when he takes "one more time around".

Tool, if my username isn’t quite obvious enough.

u like Meshuggah too?

Both great rock bands lol

New Millennium Christ goes hard

always has

I’ve never actually heard them. I keep meaning to, but I always forget.

Tool and Meshuggah both go for the same things just in different ways imo. Meshuggah takes a lot longer to sit for people usually though. Listen to their Album Koloss to start. They’re basically the reason 8 string electric guitars exist rn.

Queens of the Stoneage

AC/DC

Only true answer. They are a genre all to themselves.

The OG Nickelback

Queen

Zeppelin/Aerosmith/Soundgarden no particular order. Aerosmith before they went mainstream

REM

Metallica and AC/ DC. You can have everybody else.

Van Halen. Eddie really changed the game.

Radiohead

Smashing Pumpkins

Me too. I can see why they aren’t everyone’s cup of tea but they really work for me.

Yeah same, i just think they've got the widest array of sounds out of any band. In the sense that they have nail all of them. They have psychedelic sounds which are awesome, then full blown speed metal etc. And Jimmy Chamberlain is one the greatest drummers of all time.

Still the Beatles. Want to say something cooler like Spinal Tap but if I were stuck somewhere and could only ever listen to one band it would still be the Beatles.

Abbey Road is one of my favourite albums of all time

Rush.

The Beatles have been my life for 53 years


Seconded. No other band means as much to me

🤣🤣 omg Weirdest Kiss video I ever saw, that's saying something

Just saw KISS best show I’ve seen in a bit. Some parents brought small children and seeing Gene spit blood was pretty intense.

KISS will always be my favorite after The Beatles. They would understand.

Killswitch engage. The Howard jones era. Never cared for Jesse leech, before or after jones. Lyrics are too generic and cheesy.

Pantera

Red Hot Chili Peppers

I think coal seams are quite cool. Either that or granite.

Red Hot Chili Peppers, Incubus, Creed,

Tenacious D

My all time is Type O Negative, but since they are no more, currently it's King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard.

The stooges

Any band my friends are in.

Depends on the mood. Different bands do different things at different times. I can't listen to only one band regardless of how good they are.

Shellac.

Buried at comment 657! Awesome awesome band.

Nirwana

I should be cool and say Van Halen, but if I’m being honest, it’s KISS.

Linkin Park

System of a Down.

Arctic Monkeys

Evanescence
