Our pet bands

[HeartlandGirl]

So I was taking a shower and thinking to myself, "You know, most everyone in Bang and Clatter has that one pet band besides U2 that they're pretty crazy about and talk about all the time." So I thought I'd try to list some of our specialty band fanatic members. Many BandC'ers fall into several categories.

For instance, I think I'm the resident Placebo fanatic.

yertle - Manic Street Preachers
IWasBored - Dropkick Murphys
Mrs. Vedder - Pearl Jam
Cujo - Led Zeppelin
KhanadaRhodes - Duran Duran
MsVelvetDress, Digi, and many others - Coldplay
Celia - Alanis Morissette
Mofo - AFI
HOS, Deathbear, Mofo, Digi, Elvis Presley, Mikal, Myself, and about a thousand other people - Radiohead
Zonelistener - Scatterbrain Radiohead
joyfulgirl, foray, and a few others - Tori Amos
Cass - resident bang and clatter storyteller
Skeek, joyful, myself, melon, and others - Bjork
Bonochick - Ryan Adams

To be sure, we've all got pretty diverse and eclectic tastes, and I don't mean to leave anyone off or mislabel anyone, as I'm just typing this on the fly. I know we've got some big fans of Elbow, Doves, Virgin Radio as a whole, Bruce, R.E.M., Outkast, and tons of other artists. Just thought it would be a fun topic to throw out there, and we can all pat ourselves on the back for having such great taste and musical savoir faire. So feel free to add yourself to the list.

Looks fairly accurate to me.

 

[zonelistener]

Scatterbrain Radiohead?

I might be under that Coldplay list too.

Although...I think I would fit with a ton of bands that RARELY get discussed here (Stone Roses, Love and Rockets, Replacements, Etc.).

Good topic!

*smacks head

It's Sweet Tart who loves the Doves so much. I knew someone had their banner as a sig!

I thought you might like that Z.L. *sings "Scaaaaterrrrbrainnnn"*




And I forgot how many Bell Biv Devoe fans we have around here.

 

[Salome]

I'm the "AC/DC Beach Boys REM Jon Spencer Blues Explosion Will Oldham" gang
all on my own


Squid: Sonic Youth
if I'm not mistaken

 

[Saracene]

I'm in the PJ Harvey corner, myself.

 

[yertle-the-turtle]

add the Clash for me, IWB, and mofo and it'd be spot on. but yeah, i've noticed that what makes this place great is the diverse tastes and the sharing of it.

and yes I talk too much about Le Manics. or La Manics.

 

[Popmartijn]

For me it's the Urban Dance Squad (I had a coming out on this forum a few days ago ) and (Michael Franti &) Spearhead. Two great bands who desere a wider audience (even if UDS imploded a few years ago).
Oh, and Brooooocccceee!

C ya!

I couldnt pick jsut one band I really really love except for U2 & Queen

Celia - Alanis Morissette

Alanis

She does get overtaken by a lot of others:
PJ Harvey
Radiohead
Tori Amos
Coldplay..etc.

 

[Bonochick]

Bonochick - Ryan Adams

 

[Squid]

Squid: Sonic Youth
if I'm not mistaken

[IWasBored]

[HeadsOnSticks]

What on earth gave you the idea I like Radiohead?



Also: I am a huge Neil Finn/Crowded House freak.
And Elvis Costello too.

HEHE! I was actually just getting ready to post:
'I'm a doves, elbow, damien rice, ed harcourt, idlewild, mojave 3 etc person, but especially STARSAILOR.'
Yes, megan and i adequately qualify as having them for our pet band.

 

[IWasBored]

[elevatedmole]

[IWasBored]

[beegee]

[IWasBored]

(rancid)

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

drop kick does remind me of i was bored. i have never heard a song by them, but when i was in San Jose last weekend i saw a guy walking with a drop kick murphy shirt on. he looked like a gangster too. i had to do a double take because i recognized the name of the band and almost made a comment out loud about it.

 

[adamswildhoney]

<~~ would be Stereophonics/Coldplay/Travis!!
