Your Absolute Favorite Artist

[Corp. Sheepo]

Gun to your head, absolutely earnest opinion. If you honestly can't think of a single band as your favorite, just imagine that you could only listen to one thing for the rest of your life. What would it be?

Mine is definitely CAKE.

I'm aware this thread has probably been done before.

[TheAntipop]

ISIS. Hands on.

[Vegeta897]

Aw jeez.

F.... Flashbulb?

[Qonfused]

Boards of Canada if I absolutely have to choose one artist to listen to for the rest of my life, gun to my head, and all that shit. Otherwise it'd be more.

Goddamn this is tough.

[Emporius]

Oasis fo sho.

[Dalamari]

Flaming Lips

[Kamikazie]

Met.. Noo.. Ave... No...

... Foo Fighters.

[Iron Kat]

H.I.M

[CrazyHarij]

William Basinski

[KineticAesthetic]

H.I.M

Hahahahahahahaha

Right now it would be Flying Lotus, a decision I'm sure I would regret eventually. I guess Autechre for the sheer amount of material they've produced?

[Iron Kat]

Hahahahahahahaha

Oh yeah. Sorry, I forgot I'm not entitled to my own opinion on here, am I? :flame:

[Corp. Sheepo]

We're entitled to mock its low quality.

[Iron Kat]

Says who, officially?

[Corp. Sheepo]

Uh, us? Officially.

[Bad^Hat]

I don't have any one favourite artist for more than a few months at a time, but at the moment I'm really loving Pain of Salvation. Their music has an emotive quality to it that few others can match.

[Adabiviak]

Shantel, two songs specifically: Great Delay and Backwood.

[gFrohman]

311

No question about it.

[mocho loco]

I would probly have to shoot myself. I usually listen to two or more artist that I really like and then change every two weeks.

[dfc05]

Explosions in the Sky

[Naudian]

Probably some artist I haven't heard of yet.

But* uhh...Radiohead.

[thefiznut]

William Basinski

wow, even before clicking the thread i had the exact same person in mind.

*high five of the century*

william basinski

[Dinnesch]

Red Hot Chilli Peppers/Yellowcard?

Shit it is hard to make a choice, there is so much music I absolutely love.

[staticprimer]

Very difficult question, but I think it would have to be Flogging Molly.

[CrazyHarij]

wow, even before clicking the thread i had the exact same person in mind.

*high five of the century*

william basinski

Haha, right back at ya! :thumbs:

[VirusType2]

Cliff Burton

[jet_porkins]

Hmm.

Branford Marsalis.

[nipples]

Led Zeppelin

[lefty]

one band? I'd let them shoot me.

[Stigmata]

If you had asked me a week ago, I'd have said The Mars Volta. Now, I can't decide.

[Shakermaker]

Impossible question. I'd let out over 100 artists and bands. But with a gun pointed at my temple I'd say The Stones.

[Laivasse]

Axis of Advance, without any hesitation.

[The Monkey]

It's a difficult question. Most of the bands I call my favourites I only listen to from time to time, as I tend to get bored with them after listening to them for a short while, due to overexposing. But the bands I listen to most at the moment are probably The Cure and The Jam, so I'd probably want to have one of them with me to a deserted island. This will for sure change within a couple of weeks, though.

[Ennui]

Says who, officially?
I do.

I would pick TV on the Radio, but it's a moot point because I would rather die than have to choose just one band out of my favorites to listen to, I have way too deep a connection with and appreciation for the top 20 or so bands on my list (which are all more or less tied at first) and to live without the other 19 would make me super depressed :(

[Lucid]

My musical taste still hasn't expanded far enough to really decide on an absolute favorite band.
But, a band that always finds itself onto my iPod whenever I wipe it clean is Smashing Pumpkins.

I grew up listening to them, basically.

[Yorick]

Elliott Smith

[Dumb Dude]

Say what you will, but my absolute favorite artist is Bright Eyes.

[Yorick]

Say what you will, but my absolute favorite artist is Bright Eyes.

Very high on my list as well.

[ajski752]

thats difficult
John mayer on mon-thur Iron maiden on friday and weekends

[Escape]

Nickelback!

:D

Just kidding, I heart Shinedown.

[Nibwoddle]

Met.. Noo.. Ave... No...

... Foo Fighters.

This. Except instead of the "Ave..." for me it was "Ris..."

[Doppelgofer]

its hard to narrow it down to one but i'd either say in terms of times listened to or how they might've affected me, either pink floyd, beatles or john lennon

[swan_song1973]

im one of those people who can narrow it down to 10, but not one.

[elkaebee]

Foo Fighters, Elton John, and Frank Zappa.

I refuse to cohere to your one artist maximum.

[MiccyNarc]

Rammstein. No second thoughts there.

[Blackthorn]

The Dandy Warhols.

[L3N!N]

El Ten Eleven as of right now.

[PoeticRocker]

right now my favorite artists are Johnny Clegg, Slowdive, and Pulp. ANd you guessed it! Most of their music is from the early/mid 90s.

[ĐynastҰ]

Incubus

[Pulse]

Has to be QOTSA overall, but at the moment I'm absolutely bumming Architects and Pinback.

[Mellish]

Daft Punk

[Eejit]

JS Bach.

If you're going to listen to any one group of works for the rest of your life it can't be anything other than classical imo.

[Lone Wolf]

James Hetfield

[gFrohman]

JS Bach.

Awesome choice. Baroque style kicks ass. But I'd personally move toward Brahms or some other Romantic composers.

[leib10]

Avenged Sevenfold.

[Robert-]

System Of A Down.

Haven't stopped listening to them since forever.

[Hobopro]

Gojira

[soulslicer]

this actually..

[SimpleAssassin]

Shinedown are ****in awesome.

The Cure hands down. A song for every mood.

[FrostedxB]

Currently: Hilltop Hoods

Australian Hip-Hop FTW!

[Captain M4d]

Right now it's Grizzly Bear for me.

Arcade Fire comes in a close second though.

It's probably the same here now too, Veckatimest stole the show for me.

Radiohead was my favourite for a very long time before that.

I was lucky enough to see them live together last year. It was an amazing show.

Saw the Grizz again last Wednesday, and it was incredible. Played tons of songs from Veckatimest.
