Fun Stuff > BAND
Your top lot?
dancarter:
Sound like fun. Away we go...(amended for descriptions and reasons why i like them)
Skinny Puppy and all related off shoots - They remain my stand by and continue to challenge and influence, even after 25 years. From industrial to idm to strange pop, they've done it all and done it well.
Pneumatic Detach - noise from the bowels of hell. Play it loud or not at all. Rhythmic noise.
Bugs Crawling Out of People - Spoken word rants set against crazed out beats and schizoid sounds
Placebo - so goddamn catchy.
Tom Waits - If I need to explain this....actually, it's all in the lyrics here.
Clint Mansell - there's something heartbreaking about his instrumental work that I just adore.
The Smears - punk girls from Canada. Sassy, ballsy and fun.
Combichrist - lewd, trashy and dancy. Imagine KMFDM on phenobarbitol.
Unter Null - Terror EBM at it's best. A one women powerhouse of hard beats, harder lyrics and catchy synth lines.
Haujobb - just plain stunning blend of industrial, idm, cold electonics and technolgic paranoia
Autoclav 1.1 - downtempo beauty.
Iszoloscope - Walls of static, percussion and industrial terror that still manage to sound strangely fragile and organic.
Scrap.edx - Pure power driven beats, scatter-shot rhythms and inventive time-shifting.
Individual Totem - an unbelieveably dense and complex mixture of sounds, melodies and rhythms hidden behind some of the catchiest industrial you'll find.
Neon Cage Experiment - French industrial mastery. Pure old school EBM, done right and done well.
....etc.

Let's see here....
Iron Maiden: I got into them in the 6th or 7th grade because of my guitar teacher and... really, do I need to say more?
Menomena: I love quirky music ideas that gel together to build songs from the bottom up and Menomena are full of such ideas. Not to mention they have a pretty kick ass drummer.
Godspeed You! Black Emperor: Powerful Powerful music. I can listen to their work and instantly be transported into another mindset, one where I can only focus on their notes as they take their sweet sweet time to develop each piece with expertly placed dialog tracks that can at once send chills down your spine, sadden the depths of your soul and uplift you to amazing heights (all without the use of drugs)
A Silver Mt. Zion: Sort of like Godspeed's pissed off bastard child. Great stuff, but doesn't quite reach (or really try to) the same heights as Godspeed.
The Dodos: Clever lyrics intricate guitar and, tight and loud but never over powering drumming swirl together to form a jaunty sundae that slowly melts over the course of frenzied jam sessions.
The Roots: Deep lyrics on their later records, real music backing their every move and a sense of "us against the world" in every cut? What's not to like.
The Mars Volta: Crazy whacked out EVERYTHING and yet somehow makes sense. It's finely crafted and always gets me dancing while discovering something new in the music.
Iron & Wine: Deceptively somber music that comes from quite possibly the most awesome man alive (listen to the crowd banter on any of Sam Beam's live bootlegs and you'll know what I mean)
Jeff Beck: A master guitarist... nothing else to say really.
And last, but certainly not least:
King's X: Totally underrated and have been my favorite band since my guitar teacher introduced me to them. If you haven't heard of them you're missing out on some great heavy rock. (imagine if the Beatles mated with BlackSabbath)
Ballard:
Guys you are making this even more list thread-y than it should be.
The idea was to pick your top 5, not to write down every band you love.
Also, make with some fucking discussion.
Nappuccino:
Is "lot" some kind of board slang for 5?
MadassAlex:
Goodness gracious, newcomer. That was rather good.
(It was probably a genuine question, but I read it as a burn as well)
