What Bands Are You Raving About?

What bands and musical styles are you guys (and gals) raving about as of late?


For me I seem to have a strange obsession with Alice In Chains and Mad Season, the song Social Parasite in particular. At the moment I seem to be listening to Alice In Chains back to back

(try to name as little number of bands as possible)

My top 5 at the moment are
-Forever Changed
-Red Hot Chili Peppers
-Thrice
-The Spill Canvas
-Sum 41

I'm gettin into Ugly Cassanova, more into He Is Legend(mostly their lyrics), really like Coheed&Cambria, Red Hot Chili Peppers, TRYING to get more into mewithoutYou, and I like Forever Changed too, me and garrett kinda got into em at the same time

Oh I forgot HIL, Deeerr thats at the TOP!

Fall of Troy, with a side of Interpol. [:D]

I've really been getting into Mastodon lately. They just put a DVD out and they are amazing live, gotta wait a few more months 'til they come here though.

Well, I'll post some of the more less-heard of bands I'm into as of late.

Placebo-Only Where is my mind (Pixies cover), Pure Morning, and Song to Say Goodbye. All of those songs are pure brilliance.

Meshuggah-Always have loved them, I'm a big fan of tech/math metal, and they are easily the best tech metal band out there, their amazing offbeat timesacales and musical talents make them unmatched IMO.

The Number 12 Looks Like You- Their vocals are pretty poor, but like Meshuggah they use stunning timescale variation and have some of the kost amazing guitar/bass segments of any band around IMO. Also, they are very unique which adds to their appeal for me.

Shellac-A solid band that is unique and catchy, with great riffs and variation as well as some of the best vocals around IMO.

The Apex Theory- Nothing too special, but they have a unique style, solid vocals, and some catchy guitar riffs, and overall it comes together quite nicely.

Children of Bodom- Great riffs, solid songwriting, and an excellent drummer make Children of Bodom a superb band IMO, and while I never have been a fan of the useless screaming with weak lyrics and no music contribution, I still find Children very pleasing to listen to. And theyre Finnish as am I. [:D]

Full Scale-Just a great band that many fans of different genres could like IMO. If you enjoy alternative, metal, or any other similar song style I'd recommend checking them out.

There are a few others as well, but these are my current favorites.
And as far as style is concerned, my favorite musical style is tech metal, followed by progmetal (a la SOAD) and techno/industrial metal. I tend to like a ton of other genres as well though, just not as much.

Yea...il just name my top 10:

My chemical Romance
Brand New
Greenday
Queens of the Stone Age
AFI
The Offspring
Fallout Boy
Billy Talent
Goldfinger
Hot Hot Heat


Right now, im like obsessed with "Sic Transit Gloria...Gloria Fades" By Brand New. Im also obsessed with "Little Sister" By Queens of the Stone Age. Such good songs!!!

I've been listening to alot of Slayer and Trivium.

Bloc Party. Definitely my favorite band out there right now. I just love every one of their songs, and they are definitely have a style that is original and very upbeat. I'd recommend it to basically everyone.

Honorable Mention:
Ben Harper
Dave Matthews Band
Death Cab for Cutie
The Fray
Guster
Syd
Throwback

Bloc Partys pretty damn good, too. I forgot to mention that.

Foo Fighters, all sorts of random trance/techno, and son of nun (sonofnun.net)

Triviums alright

To sum everything up

1. Thrice
2. The Darkness (People who made "I believe in a thing called love")

Ah yes, Trivium is another great band. They are underappreciated because some people hear the screaming and assume talentless metal, but they really have some of the most amazing songwriting and musical talent to be found, and some of the chord combos they play are purely genious.

booooooo![pdie]

**** You

Erm..
Ive started listening to Alice in Chains a bit more
Maroon 5
Less Than Jake

and some of the chord combos they play are purely genious.

...not really

Hawthorne Heights play good music, the screaming is kind of off putting but they're still awesome.

^ YAY same Hawthorne heights rock! [:D] So do Coheed, Underoath, Panic, MCR and now im starting to like Atreyu aswell. Although at the moment, i cant stop listenin to Creed - 6 feet from the edge. I used to listen to it all the time and stopped listening to it, but then 3 of my friends performed it in whole school assembly and they were so good, and i remembered how much i love that song! So yeah, im back listening to it again [:D]

Oof...I think I can rightfully say I'm the only 'noise' fan here...[:(] somewhat of a good thing. Trust me, you'd all hate it.

1] Wolf Eyes
2] Smegma
3] Metalux
4] AIDS wolf
6] Whitehouse

But on a lighter side...I actually like Of Montreal, Arcade Fire, Wolf Parade, Neutral Milk Hotel, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah. [now that I think about it, that's a big gap between my music tastes[|)]]

Godsmack is always good for a tough day ...
Thanks to Real, Skillet has made it's way into the selections as well

I know about 1/3 of these bands. I guess I am too old school.[stupid]

I am listening to Jack Johnson, Depeche Mode, The Bravery, Rush and I still love rockin out to Velvet Revolver's alblum.
