Yoko Kanno and The Seatbelts from Cowboy Bebop.

Sonata Arctica.

For me Stryper. Loved them when I was a kid and I still do.

Iron Maiden comes in second place.

Alice in Chains is far down the list but was still a very good band.

Suede. later known as The Tears. Their music is so incredibly emotional and it takes me to a different world when I listen through their albums. They are also the only band where I literally love every single song they've ever written.

So many memories of my childhood are packed into the songs, from the most exciting times of my life, to people I used to love and be around all the time. All of which I can no longer have, only memories remain, and this music brings it all back to me so strongly that I cry every time I hear certain songs. Every time. I mean real crying.

I like hearing about different bands being brought up here.  I can make a list and give them a listen.

Thanks 

I have been listening to AFI and the hives of late

The song Black Sabbath by BS sacred the shit out of me when I was 12 and 13

Thunder and the tolling bells and the smashing evil riff and a demon chasing a guy 

Probably Bob Dylan, though it's hard not to ramble off a list of blues musicians that are just as emotionally draining as he.

I don't get all emotional about it but I love Boston, The Clash, Rise Against, Van Halen, etc.

atm, Ke$ha.

I have to admit Beyonce is rather ok better then GaGa but I wouldn't want to start an argument over it

It's ok your among friends just open up to us........sorry just kidding

I love the song "smoking" by Boston it brings back great memory's

I hate to admit but I like the song "love is like Oxygen" by sweet, just don't tell anyone

pantera.  So much hatred.  so awesome
