    "Weird Al" Yankovic is a band? I always thought that it's only Weird Al with his satirical songs, with no fixed set of band-member cast.

    Anyway, here's my top 5 bands:

    1. Dream Theater
    2. Laputa
    3. Moi dix Mois
    4. Kagrra,
    5. Tower of Power

    1. Marilyn Manson
    2. Red Hot Chili Peppers (Mostly post-One Hot Minute. I have no interest in songs like "Sir Psycho Sexy" or "Catholic School Girls Rule". I hope they never go back to that, as it's so far beneath their talents. /massive"IMO"tag)
    3. Type O Negative (Post-Origin of the Feces. Peter's voice is too amazing to be constantly screaming)
    4. Within Temptation
    5. The Doors

    That basically sums up my opinion. :)
    Identifying with someone/what someone says pretty much translates to respecting them...

    I'm going to assume bands can also mean groups.

    1. Yes
    2. Rush
    3. Emerson, Lake & Palmer
    4. Beastie Boys
    5. OutKast
  • FrogacudaFrogacuda

    Outkast is a stretch as a "band". Roots, sure, Beastie Boys maybe (some of their stuff at least), but Outkast?

    Oh, so you mean rock band.

    Well, I pretty much consider any musical group to be a band. Plus, I like the Beastie Boys and OutKast better than any other (rock) band I listen too, but I guess if I have to choose it's a tough call between Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, Metric, Band of Horses, and Styx for those last two spots.

    No, it doesn't have to be rock. I was just trying to find out peoples general music tastes.
