Your Top 10 Favorite Bands
This has been done to death, on every forum in the history of the internet yes, however I wish to ask only to see if 2011 changed any of your list.
It shuffled mine around quite a bit honestly, as I discovered some new stuff, heard some stuff for the first time that I enjoyed, found a song I had not known the name of forever. Bit of commentary on each to give you an idea why they are there. 1) Metallica - They might not be the best band ever, but they are my favorite. 2) Foo Fighters - Somehow, someway I managed to not know the name of "Learn to Fly" for what must be years. In the days before Shazam, I had to ask people and one person did say FF. When I searched Youtube, I got the elevator intro played to the tune of Everlong and skipped it because I didn't know it was the right song. Also, Rope and Walk from Wasting Light is Amazing. 3) Pink Floyd - I watched "The Wall" and they immediately cemented a spot unlikely to ever lower. 4) Pearl Jam - My wife got me to listen to their entire discography and well, you guys mostly already knew. 5) Our Lady Peace - After seeing the live, I absolutely fell in love with these guys. I think one of the very few bands who are much better live then hearing them through earphones. 6) Led Zepplin - I don't need to explain myself here. 7) The Trews - They originate from where I grew up and I had heard they were total assholes. However, their latest CD, Hope and Ruin changed my opinion of them as musicians at least. 8) The Black Keys - Requiem turned me onto to these guys and they have some pretty sick stuff. 9) Tool - The hidden track from 10,000 Days is just...oh my god. 10) Static-X - Only because they were my first favorite band do they hold the last spot.

In no particular order, although the first three would theoretically vie for the 1st spot.
1. Nevermore 2. Lacrimosa 3. Dio 4. Megadeth 5. Uriah Heep 6. My Dying Bride 7. Old Man's Child 8. Deep Purple 9. Willie Nelson (technically not a band ) 10. Judas Priest |

I realize my choice of Lil Wayne might be controversial. Listen to his mixtapes and try to be open minded and you will see where I am coming from.
As a disclaimer, I hate most of his "hits". Any time he tries to sing or use autotune is straight trash. But he changed the "rap game" in a huge way, and for about 4 years was by far the best rapper on the planet. Could seriously write like 5 pages on why he is amazing but I know nobody would read it. |

Dunno, just can't get into Wayne. I get the appeal and all. And he can spit, definitely.

He's just such a goofy crazy dude who loves rapping so much. I dunno, great/creative rhyme schemes, crazy flow, extremely good wordplay across his whole body of work (for those few years...he seriously was putting out like 200+ songs a year and his verses were sick on 95% of them). He just sounds like he is having a blast rapping, and when he was at his prime he was the best gangster rapper of all time (IMO).
I dunno, I almost like him for the same reason I liked Sit Down Man by Das Racist. You can just break down any song and it's just jam packed with deceptively witty double/triple entendres, etc...tons of "hidden gems" everywhere) I think his consistency of awesomeness is what really places him on that list for me though. |

I don't think Wayne is the problem, I think my problem is the amount of people who will try to emulate him.

I guess I would start with their first album, "The Smiths" but I think "The Queen is Dead" is my favorite maybe, but not by much!
