Favourite Band Timelines

Ichor [Edit] [Delete] 50 replies 16:43, 28 May '15

I'm musically fickle, I know I am, I've come to terms with it. I was trying to work out what my favourite bands have been over the years and came up with the below.

Smashing Pumpkins -> Oasis -> Wu Tang Clan -> Cypress Hill -> Incubus -> Tool -> Pink Floyd -> The Cure -> The National -> Burial (but I still love The National)

Chronologically post your favourite bands below:

Blink 182 > Thursday > Alexisonfire > The Blood Brothers

thats it

green day -> muse -> of montreal -> john zorn's naked city -> lady gaga -> arthur russell -> xiu xiu / taylor swift

fuckyeahdubstep | 28 May '15, 18:42 | X
basically i have slowly gone from favouring technical prowess to bands that can support my perpetual nervous breakdown

The Police > Adam & The Ants >

The Specials > Madness > Black Sabbath > Siouxsie & The Banshees > The Exploited > Dead Kennedys > CRASS > New Order > The Cure > The Smiths > Ramones > The Cramps > The Damned > Husker Du > Slayer > Hard Ons > Public Enemy > Beastie Boys > Electro Hippies > Nirvana > Spacemen 3 > Urban Dance Squad > Fucking Champs > Bo Ningen.

The massive gap fits working in a record shop and getting disillusioned with all the marketing but I'm sure there's some that aren't coming to mind at present that should fill that bit...

Nice idea

Mud>T-Rex>Adam & the Ants>Depeche Mode>New Order>The Smiths>Happy Mondays>Suede>Tindersticks>Nick Cave>Sigur Ros>Mogwai

So basically, dumb happy glam stuff as a kid, gloomy stuff as an adolescent/student, brief bit of cheerfulness around the Madchester/Britpop era, then back to default gloom mode.

Radiohead > Nirvana > Oasis > Blur > R.E.M. > The Cure > Manic Street Preachers > Led Zeppelin > David Bowie > The Beatles > The Smiths > Sex Pistols (not the music, just Johnny Rotten in general) > Arcade Fire > Joy Division > U2 > Kate Bush > Talk Talk >>>>>>>>>> New Order > Teenage Fanclub

scream_to_a_million | 29 May '15, 03:43 | X
please ignore the first two bands :(

boyzone > RHCP > blur > gorillaz > radiohead > broken social scene > singer-songwriter types (damien rice, ryan adams, holly throsby, feist, etc.) > twee types (camera obscura mostly) > wolf parade > yo la tengo (saw them live in 2007, still counts as one of the best moments of my life) > joy division > tom waits > the national > mount eerie/ the microphones > the xx

ultimately though, I still hold tom waits, the national and yo la tengo very dearly. seeing it laid out like this make me realize that my favorites are mostly pretty generic.

Bon Jovi > Genesis > The Smiths > Joy Division > The Stone Roses > Pixies > Ramones > Wilco > The Mountain Goats.

Probably missing a few there, Roses/Pixies/Ramones pretty much simultaneous for a good few years.

Infinite_Jest | 29 May '15, 22:14 | X

I get bored easily, but go through phases.

Eric Clapton > Fat Boy Slim > Chemical Brothers > Eminem > Leftfield > Deep Purple > Frank Zappa > Radiohead > Jesus and Mary Chain > The Stooges > My Bloody Valentine > PJ Harvey > King Creosote > Arab Strap > Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry > Stevie Wonder > Kraftwerk > Fad Gadget > Funkadelic > Burial > Caribou> Nils Frahm > FKA Twigs

mil_c | 30 May '15, 15:25 | X
Don't think I've ever had a single favourite band

but I've definitely got a club of favourites that I started on very strong and have never stopped loving.

David Bowie, Bob Dylan, Paul Simon/& Garfunkel, Beach Boys - since I was born
Kanye West - since 2004
Modest Mouse - since 2005
Massive Attack, LCD Soundsystem - since 2007
R.E.M., The Smiths/Mozza, Los Campesinos! - since 2008
The Twilight Sad, The Rolling Stones - since 2009
Pulp, Taylor Swift - since 2010

when I first started buying and listening to my own music in the late nineties, I properly loved stuff like Ash, At The Drive-In, Blink 182, Green Day, shit like that, but always saw it as less good than my dad's stuff, because I was indoctrinated. The College Dropout really made me sit up and think there was genuinely brilliant music being made, waded through some truly dire hip-hop round about that time, trying to find something else like it, funnily enough I've recently fallen out of love with The College Dropout, but still love all other Kanye. I did have a very strong Bloc Party phase, starting with Silent Alarm, didn't really let go until 2012 when I had to accept it was over, but around those first two albums, I fucked loved them.

Christ, my taste in music is boring.

Konichiwa_Bitches | 30 May '15, 16:25 | X
Oh.

I actually think Muse is missing, sandwiched between Biffy and Radiohead.

aactv @aactv | 30 May '15, 17:04 | X
2007 - 2009 ("indie" phase): Franz Ferdinand
2009-2010: ("metal-that-is-not-too-harsh-for-indie-boys" phase): Mastodon
2010 - ?: ("post punk and post hardcore and alternative-american-music from-the-late-80's/early 90's phase"): Fugazi.

Got_Ambushed | 30 May '15, 22:44 | X
Hmm, I forgot Guns 'n' Roses

They featured briefly post-Meat Loaf. "Don't you crieee-ay-ay-ay-ayayayy tonight" and all that. Wonderful stuff.
