Since we've already had two band threads (Nirvana and Mercyful Fate), I thought it a good idea to save forum space and just channel all rock band talk into this little thread.

I'll start us off:

Metallica (80s)
Slayer
Iron Maiden
Judas Priest
Motorhead

There's plenty that I missed, so feel free to expand on that list.

Well, I'm more of a prog-rock, alternative and indie rock fan, I don't like metal or grunge or punk or anything of the sort.

So I enjoy:

Pink Floyd
Yes
Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Radiohead
Beatles
Queen
Neutral Milk Hotel

Also local and overseas prog-rock bands: Mutantes, Som Nosso de Cada Dia, O Terço, Banco Del Mutuo Soccorso, Equilibrio Vital

“Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.” — Nazi Reich Marshal Hermann Goering

Huuhhhh...I'm always wary of the term "Progressive" much like when being discussed in politics. It seems like it's the only word in ANY language the left considers not open to matters of perception or interpretation. ANYWAY

Back on topic...I heard a funny story about the Beatles the other day. My brother-in-law was in a music store the other day and heard a couple of kids talking about Paul McCartney. One of them said "He was in the Beatles" and the other said something like "The Beatles?" and the other replied "Yeah, you know. That band before he was in Wings". They're slowly becoming anachronistic along with everything else we hold dear (not that I was ever a big fan).

Do you listen to Steve Miller or Alan Parsons? My brother was big on Parsons.

I didn't understand your comment about "progressive". In case you are not familiar to what prog-rock is... Here...

Alan Parsons project, yes. I forgot to mention Jethro Tull and Focus, too... And one of my guilty pleasures is Electric Light Orchestra. Also, J-ROCK and J-POP bands.

I can't believe I forgot to mention Black Sabbath, which I consider to be the first "metal" band. They were all big Beatles fans, and the influence shows in their first album. Sabbath are really underrated in my opinion, because people always associate them with songs like "Iron Man", but never give them credit for their more complex stuff. I believe their song "Fluff", an instrumental, is pure genius. They offer something for everyone.

Another one I forgot is one of my head-slammin' favorites, Pantera. Dimebag Darrell is my hero.

Anyone ever heard of UFO? Their song "Lights Out" never gets old for me.

ELO should not be considered a guilty pleasure. I'm a huge fan. Also:
Queen
Van Halen
Yes
Chicago
The Cure
Blur
Sugar
Big Sugar
Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention

I know there's more, but I'll come back later.

Princess Leia: I happen to like nice men.
Han Solo: I'm a nice man.

The thing with Frank Zappa is, while he did some great music, sometimes he could be very irritating, and some of his songs are unlistenable.

No best guitarist list is complete without Yngwie Malmsteen. Man, that guy can play.
