What are your favorite bands and songs of all time and why?

my favorite band is ghost and my favorite song by them is probably absolution and deus in absentia

and they basically helped me through a lot the past 4 years and its really been a distraction for me from everything because they have band lore that is confusing but it has been sort of a distraction to understand and i rlly love them for that :)

Mine has always been ghost, my fav song is satanized XD

My favorite artist has to be Ayesha Erotica, I know its kind of a basic favorite artist or something but idc my favorite song from her is juicy couture. Her music always makes me feel like I'm on top of the world and just makes me feel good in general and the manifesting i do while i listen to her is CRAZY :^

Nightwish and Black Veil Brides! 

i grew up on Nightwish because my dad is a fan, as a kid my favourite songs were Sleeping Sun and Nemo, and now it's Ever Dream. 

i found Black Veil Brides when i was really depressed, if i haven't had the chance to see them live in 2023 i probably wouldn't be here now. my favourites from them are Rebel Love Song and Set The World On Fire (and basically the rest of that album too).

The Beatles.

I have so much to say about 'why' but it boils down to this:

I love all different styles of music to one degree or another. I love so many different artists from so many different time periods going back to the earliest written music.

I honestly could never, ever be satisfied listening to only one artist, one genre, one style.

All of that being said, more than any other group, the Beatles flirted with many different styles. Listening to one Beatles album vs another is like a completely different experience.

All of these decades later and I still discover something new when listening to their music. They quite literally changed the foundation of how we listen to popular music and what we expect from it. 

They recorded something like 220+ songs over the course of 12/13 albums and enough loose singles for another two or three albums. Within seven years. Broke records, some of which still stand, while doing it. 

Thus far, they are the greatest rock and roll band and likely to retain that title for some time to come.

It would be hard to list favorite songs, since so many are personal to me, so many more are iconic.

I'll cite three important albums.

Please, Please Me (their first album. Raw pop/rock sound, simple, honest, some bangers)

Revolver (their seventh album). Smack in the middle of their catalogue and career, a real blend of their early pop sound, their psychedelic period, and some rock and roll. If you're going to listen to ONE album that says "This is what the Beatles 'sound like'" that isn't a compilation, this is the album.

Abbey Road (the final album they recorded). The production on this is a sharp contrast to their first album. Like their Sgt Pepper's album, this one is still studied by modern producers, engineers, and artists. I can not say enough about it, BUT, if you're going to listen to it, "Side two" must be listened to as 'one track' essentially. NOT broken up into its various tracks. Trust me, this is important. 

Thank you for allowing me to rant. 🤣 

 It has to go one of the first Argentine "Supergroups" 

 Seru Giran

 Is THE rock band of Argentina, they have one of the best rosters of artist that this country has ever seen.

 Counting with Pedro Aznar in the bass, Oscar Moro in the drums, David Lebon in the guitar and Charly Garcia (The greatest musician Argentine birthed) in piano and vocals with Lebon. 

 They didn't had any crazy visuals or any special treatment, they just played, and they made songs in tandem with eachother without much mind to give and it showed on every concert they gave, always loud and against the opression, always provocating and instigating the powers that be into check. And mockingly the media that deterred them as "Homosexual Propaganda" despite no one being homosexual. 

 But despite all of the public backlash they kept going on and on with beautiful poetry and satire and social critique in most of their songs acompanied by a mix of jazz and progressive rock that gave them their signature sound. So much so they reached in musicality alone that the same Freddy Mercury would beg Queen to play in Argentina and convince the rest of the band with recorded concerts of Seru Giran. Same thing with the Rolling Stones who after they went became so popular that Argentine people created a new sub culture called "Rolinga" that is still present to this day both in the street and in the collective consciousness. 

 All thanks to Seru Giran. 

 They would compete with each other to see who could make the most complex parts, the most catchy ones, the most impressive, and they only would play live before putting down the things they made to later record into songs. 

 They were spontaneous, fast witted and organic all the way to the end. 

They have entire albums worth of amazing songs. But to experience them properly I would suggest.

Seminare, Eiti Leda, Viernes 3AM, Grasa de las Capitales, Perro Andaluz, Cancion de Alicia en el Pais, Peperina, Ojos de Videotape, Yendo de la cama al Living, etc. 

David Bowie! Self-explanatory really 😂 The man is a legend! 

For bands, I would say Depeche Mode and Black Sabbath :)

Get Scared has to be one of my top tier favourite bands. I've started listening to them in middle school around 6th or 7th grade, and at first it was the kinda theatrical vibe I got in eotgm. Over the course of time, their lyrics started speaking so much to me, I love Nick's voice to hell and back and it matches with the music. His technique is so insane and hard to recreate. I also like how the first album was kinda different from their current songs. Cheap tricks and theatrics might have had a few tiny flaws at least Imo, but it's one of my favourite albums of theirs lol. The raw music and vocals compared to the firm, full sound they have now is really unique (it kinda reminds me of early mcr, more specifically bullets). Yes, almost all of their songs are about relationship problems and focus on one's personal struggles, and at first they didn't resonate with me TOO much, but the more you read and understand the lyircs (+ experience those struggles yourself overtime), the deeper it truly cuts. Their lyrics are always so emotionally charged, and DON'T GET ME STARTTTEEDDDD on Stumbling In Your Footsteps or The Blackout. These two songs have the worst lyrics I've ever read and they HURT. The music itself is not as depressing as the lyrics lol, so it creates a contrast dude Idk I'm not going 2 analyze everything here, and while I'm someone who really enjoys music that hits, Get Scared does it in a really unique way. There's something bitter about their songs I can't describe.

All in all, yeah I really like Get Scared and I'll glaze them until the day I die. I also didn't count the Built 4 blame album for a reason lmao Joel didn't deserve that praise

here to shill King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard again

my boyfriend said one of their songs reminded him of me before we started dating and it quickly became my favorite to fast that i bought it on vinyl and he said he wanted to date me the moment he saw i owned it.  ever since ive loved their music and even saw them live on their National Symphony Orchestra tour for the release of Phantom Island :)

It has changed as I have aged. In my teens and 20s? Aerosmith was my favorite. In my 30s... Metallica. In my 40s, it was Rodrigo y Gabriela. Now that I am in my 50s? I don't have a favorite band. 

Now, if you ask me who my favorite composer is, I can tell you unequivocally that it's Mozart. Always has been. I truly fell for his musical genius when I learned to play his Requiem on the bass clarinet for the university orchestra my freshman year.  

rn my biggest one is jvb, and rthe songs are tanaka 2, kill bill and doughboy :-D

SLACKJAWWWW

i think my favorite songs are cynicism, house of broken bones, mean it, and hate affair
