Forums - Music Discussion - Your top 5 Music Artists/Bands of All Time

I picked these because over the years they have been consistent and not have albums with 1 great song and the rest all crap just to sell as an albumn.

If we talked single song my list probably be different,

No particular order::
Red Hot Chilli Peppers
Metallica (a small bad period with the second base guitarist man lol)
Link Park
The Script
Eminem / Michael Jackson - can't really separate these two as they both as solo artists had many great songs each album release.

PC GAMING: BEST GAMES. WORST CONTROLS

These are my "favorites" and not necessarily the "best". Although I do believe Nas and Michael Jackson are the best in their respective genres.


Hip-Hop ---------------- Pop ------------------------ Reggae/Dancehall
1. Nas --------------------1. Michael Jackson ------1. Bob Marley
2. Black Thought -------2. Amy Winehouse -------2. Damian Marley
3. Ghostface Killah ----3. Adele --------------------3. Capleton

I'm very passionate about music, so it seems like an impossible task to come up with a list of only five bands (artists), but

I'll give it a try, I will mention bands across my favorite music genres.

-Black Sabbath: I'm a huge metalhead and I can honestly say there is no greater metal band then BS, they practically created the modern archetype for the genre and most of its sub-genres can be traced back to Sabbath.

-Joy Division: I'm a metalhead with a goth heart, and Joy Division is my absolute favorite when it comes to deep voiced, somber and depressive sound.

-Nine Inch Nails: A perfect mash-up of the former two with loads of techno-punk  for good measure. Trent Reznor is my favorite musician of all time. 

-Therion: Love classical music and love heavy metal, enough said, plus, their whole concept of occultism, mythology and phylosophy resonates with me strongly.

-Alexander Borodin: Saw Prince Igor at the Met a while ago and it made me forget about Wagner, Bisset and Tchaikovsky, the most beautiful thing I've ever seen, besides, he was a chemist, so as a scientist myself, I find inspiration in the fact that he could do both things.

Honourable mentions: Tool, Judas Priest, Sopor Aeternus & The Ensemble of Shadows, Killing Joke, Mayhem.

Hmmmm, let's see... I'd have to say:

Boney M
Millie Vanilli
No Mercy

I like how all the lead singers kinda sound like the same person.

No love for Modern Talking which reminds me this is still one of the funniest TV ads of all time.

I like way too many acts and genre to narrow it down to just 5. Instead I'm going to flip the script and list my top 5 movie composers of all time:
1. Ennio Morricone
2. John William
3. Jerry Goldsmith
4. Hans Zimmer
5. James Horner

honorable mentions Elmer Bernstein, Bernard Hermann and Maurice Jarre



Foo fighters
Live
All American rejects
The offspring
Lifehouse

 

 

Close but no cigar: 

Sum 41, nickelback, theory of a deadman, Bon Jovi, Aerosmith, the killers, linkin Park.

I'm glad this thread is still kind of alive. I look at the artist most of you have as your top 5 and it makes he seriously happy. So much good music out there.



For me:

1. Oasis

2. Ages and Ages

3. Radiohead

4. The Verve

5. Johnny Cash
