Results - Favorite Band

So, the most voted bands were Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin and Red Hot Chili Peppers. The first two I was going to talk about eventually anyways, so I'll leave those for later. Now, I give you some RHCP.

Also, thanks for your opinions. I've seen some very good bands in there! Don't worry, I'll talk about many of the bands and artists you said someday.

Your Favorite Band?

I'm not in the mood today for one of my usual posts, so I'll do this instead. If you haven't noticed from the references to Strawberry Fields Forever in my blog's title and URL, my favorite band is The Beatles. They're awesome! I don't find anything as entertaining as their music.

Anyways, can you tell me what's your favorite rock band/solo artist? If many people agree on one or two (and me too of course), I'll talk about the group. GO!

Arctic Monkeys

An indie-ish rock band. To me it's one of the last great rock groups to be formed, considering the trend in music nowadays.

Their best album is their first one, which is also the fastest selling debut album ever (at least in England). Something about Alex Turner's voice and lyrics is just memorable. They're currently working on their new album.



My Top 5:
-I Bet You Look Good on the Dance Floor
-Fluorescent Adolescent
-Fake Tales of San Francisco
-Secret Door
-The View From the Afternoon

Also, if you liked this group, check out The Last Shadow Puppets, the lead singer's other project.

The Breakfast Club

Ever since the 90's, when you think about teen movies you think about comedies about teenagers getting wasted and getting laid. Well, back in the 80's this movie came out and changed that whole genre. This movie is nothing like the ones after it.

Five students must stay in the school's library a Saturday as a punishment for very different things. At first they are aggressive to each other, but slowly they begin to know each other better and discover that they all have problems.

What I like the most are the characters. Sure, they may seem a little stereotyped, but that's just to make it simpler for the audience to relate to them. By the end of this you'll feel like you've known a part of you better.


"But what we found out is that each one of us is a brain, an athlete, a basket case, a princess and a criminal. Does that answer your question?" - The Breakfast Club

Aerosmith

The "Bad Boys from Boston". One of my favorite bands, and one with the longest career. They have had problems many times and somehow they've continued strong. Went to see them live last year and they still rock.

For me their best stuff is their early, 70's stuff. Their best album is Toys in the Attic, a definite classic. Since the 90's they have softened, but I think they somehow earned the right to be at that position since they had already proven everyone they rocked during the previous two decades. Well I also like their power ballads, which are good too if you like that style.

My top 5 songs:
-Dream On
-Sweet Emotion
-Walk This Way
-Last Child
-Love in an Elevator
