Favourite Band
 
Who is everyones favourite band that has made it big over the last 2-3 years?

My vote is going to the Snow Patrol :cool:

DaveWadding 07-30-2004 08:24 AM

Evanescence, far and away.

Imagi-Nation 07-30-2004 09:08 AM

Incubus

El Capitano Gatisto 07-30-2004 09:48 AM

Snow Patrol have been around for ages. At least 5 years, by my reckoning.

They are shit too.

Mike the Metal Ed 07-30-2004 09:57 AM

Favourite new band? Stone Sour.

The Snow Patrol got their first record deal in 1998 with Black Lion/Polydor UK the first album 'Song's for Polarbears' Bombed and was taken off the shelves after 6 weeks, Same story with the second album 'When It's all over we still have to clear up'' however it did move about 23,000 copies.

It's only since the release on the 2nd February 2004 of the third album 'Final Straw' that the band have made it 'Big' so again my vote for the best band to have made it big over the last 2 - 3 years goes to The Snow Patrol

El Capitano Gatisto 07-30-2004 01:44 PM

I had heard of them before Final Straw, and so had a lot of other people.

All that happened was that they released an album that sounds like Coldplay and people bought it. They are horrible.

They are too many bands to name who I like, who have released their debuts in the past 3 years.

Razorlight are another suggestion

El Capitano Gatisto 07-30-2004 02:31 PM

Narrow it down to this year, perhaps. Razorlight only released their first album last month.

But yeah, they are good.

Kane Knight 07-30-2004 02:38 PM

Population 1

Kane Knight 07-30-2004 02:39 PM

(Made easier by the fact that "Flow" came on just then)

el fregadero 07-30-2004 02:42 PM

I guess Incubus, if they count as making it big in the last 2-3 years.

Golden Touch is the song of the year so far

lol.. do you even realize that the rest of their music is nothing like Bother?

Requiem 07-30-2004 07:07 PM

Disturbed.. Not sure if they're big as of the last 2-3 years, but I don't care..

Outsider 07-30-2004 07:11 PM

I only heard of Alkaline Trio in the past 3 years, so I would guess them. No idea if they were well known stateside before that or not.

Otherwise probably Funeral for a Friend or the Used

13 years. I can see how you'd mess that up. ;)

asphyXy 07-31-2004 02:25 AM

The album that made Metallica huge was released in 1983.

Gertner 07-31-2004 03:38 AM

Ferry Corsten.

Silent 07-31-2004 10:39 PM

Coheed and Cambria

mitchables 08-01-2004 01:03 AM

Shit, goddammit Silent.

Yeah. Coheed too. :mad:

I can't decide between them all. There's like 92375 bands that I love as much as each other, all for different reasons. :love:

CLAUDIO :love:

*The only album asphyXy likes by them. ;)

Dave Mustaine made Metallica. He wrote four out of the ten songs on Kill 'Em All [including the best Metallica song, Phantom Lord].

But he didn't make Metallica huge, Bob Rock did. I hate that slimey son of a bitch. :mad:

Supreme Olajuwon 08-01-2004 03:05 AM

If by make it big you mean a band that is in the mainstream a lot then prolly Dashboard Confessional or Yellowcard

asphyXy 08-01-2004 03:10 AM

Bob Rock made Alternica huge. Metallica broke up when Cliff Burton left the band.

Loose Cannon 08-01-2004 03:24 AM

Get Up Kids or Promise Ring

You can't change the band's name because a member left. ;) I've heard that from you somewhere. :p

I don't know about that. It's not my favourite song from their album, by any means.

If you're talking in terms of singles chart, maybe.

Tornado 08-01-2004 03:16 PM

I'd love to say Muse, but Origin of Symmetry was released about 5 years ago I think, and thats what made them big.

I'll say Snow Patrol then, Final Straw is a great album...:y:
