Longstanding fave bands off the top of my head in no order: *The Who* - My first personal foray into classic rock, on my own. I'm a Boy, Real Good Lookin' Boy, I Can't Explain, and he entirety of Quadrophenia were revelatory to me when it came to my 'genderfeels' at 14-17 and Tommy - while about someone who was autistic of some stripe - did speak to me about isolation and how it can be hard to connect with others. In fact The Who take me back to a rough headspace so I haven't actively listened to them or talked about 'em in years. Who's Next is just a shot of feels no matter who you are though. *The Rolling Stones* - One of those bands that surrounded me as a kid because an old somewhat old and cranky family friend and rockhead loved them so. Grumpy guy he was, but a loyal friend as well. Cancer sucks. The Stones rock. *The Stooges* - Iggy Pop is awesome and he's was the other big favorite of that lost family friend. I wish I could listen to Iggy's latest with him. I think he'd like Sunday and Paraguay, in particular... *Devin Townsend Project*/*SYL*/*Anything DT does* - O-B-S-E-S-S-I-O-N, that is the word for my teen years wrt HevyDevy. After growing bored with the overblown Prog scene I found a guy who was crazy aggressive and joyfully effervescent all in one. No frills, no strings, just all the parts of my brain lighting up from epic music. *Green Day* - The contemporary band of my youth that I latched onto. Their classic punk rock inspirations made forays into the past classics rather easy. The narrative concept format of American Idiot got me very into The Who, which then slowly got me into Prog Metal concept albums. *REM* - Earthy, kinda broody, but jangly. I probably like them for being both kinda folksy and metropolitan. Stipe's voice brings me into his dreamy, earthy, lightly queer and uncertain world. *Judas Priest* - Metal, Sex, Leather, Manly, Cheesy, BDSM, Devils, METAL, PAIN! PAIN! KILLER!! KILLER!! *Halford scream* *Iron Maiden* - I find 'em nerdier and less sexy than JP, but they give me fun times man! Epic adventures are to be had with Dickinson & co. As an RPG gamer, how could I refuse the call of such epic metal? *Black Sabbath* - I know Dio's got the power voice, but Ozzy is the guy. The first four albums are just sublime. Makes me feel weirdly at ease. It's weird I know, but the riffage man. *The Smiths* - Only listened recently and they've raised up to my 8th most played band of the past 3 years in just three months. Moz is a funny guy and Johnny Marr's summery guitar gives me life. Also: Radiohead (I got into 'em late, but Fake Plastic Trees and Black Star always haunted me, Black Star especially these days), New Order, Joy Division, NEU!, The Velvet Underground (Oh no, what are you doing to the poor viola and why do I like it so much!?), Queen, U2 (I find something to enjoy in even their less liked albums. Pride is such a good and poignant song), The Cure, Genesis (Trespass is a personal fave, esp The Knife), Garbage, Blur, Ultravox (Ure is a consumate professional and his cover of Man Who Sold the World is just as haunting, yet robust in that 80s way - the true New Romantic workman), The Police, P-Model (Japanese Devo-esque band - one of their early concerts was graced by the presence of David Bowie), Yellow Magic Orchestra, Electric Light Orchestra, Tegan and Sara, 16 Horsepower, Sonata Arctica, AFI, Three Days Grace (I like Gontier's sad rock voice), Bad Religion (basic reinforcement of my attitudes, but they also have a lightly folksy sound that kind of foreshadowed my later dive into 60s folk- despite them being 'The Hippy Killers), Rush, Megadeath, Matthew Good Band, Alice in Chains, Nirvana, Deftones, Dead Letter Circus, Karnivool, Misfits, Husker Du, The Clash, The Damned, The Jam, Buzzcocks, Cheap Trick, The Cars, Manic Street Preachers, and of course ...The Beatles! (I don't listen to 'em enough though.)

10. Depeche Mode- My brother and his wife love these guys and never stop playing them 9. Crush 40- I'm a huge Sonic nerd. 8. Styx- Dennis and Tommy's war within the band led to some fantastic stuff 7. Queen- When my family gathers, Bohemian Rhapsody gets sung. 6. AFI- I fell in love with the depth of their modern works, and thoroughly enjoyed their older more raw angst material. 5. Anberlin- Most Underrated Gem in all of Rock for me. Never fails to put a smile on my face. 4. Weezer- Got into these guys because of The Rock Critic himself, actually. Of course, being the geek and nerd at school who loves to say random shit, I instantly fell in love. 3. My Chemical Romance- The Black Parade helped me through my own cancer struggles. 2. Rise Against- Helped me discover myself politically speaking, and Inspired me to keep writing in general. 1. Green Day- If Billie Joe, Mike and Tré had never made music, I'd probably be six feet underground right now.

@@davisfamilykids Why you keep going at people for not having Pink Floyd on their personal lists? Personally, they do have their undeniable classics but if you really look at their entire body of work about half of it is just alright with a couple stand out tracks every so often.

As someone who got into The Hip recently (Thanks so much Crash!), I feel bittersweet when they show up on the list. Only because I got into them way too late around the time of Gord's diagnosis and tragic passing. Such an overlooked band. :(

I also recently got into My Bloody Valentine... and I don't know much about Peaches, but I kinda like what I've heard thus far.
Oh dude, go see My Bloody Valantine live. It will shake your bones :D one of the loudest bands I've seen (around Swans level, but Sunn O))) still bests them)
1) Between the Buried and Me 2) The Mars Volta 3) Ne Obliviscaris 4) Converge 5) Revocation 6) Hour of Penance 7) Death 8) Deftones 9) Protest the Hero 10) Gojira
Strigiform They're a pretty good Technical Death Metal filled with some talented members. However, David Davidson's vocals have always annoyed me. They're not the worst thing ever, but it's enough for them to consider getting a lead singer.
Its something like this: 1. Shinedown 2. Three Days Grace 3. Skillet 4. Red 5. The Offspring 6. Pink Floyd 7. Green Day 8. Within Temptation 9. Seether 10. My Chemical Romance

Sleater-Kinney are definitely in my top 10 bands now. One of the most consistent artists I've had the pleasure of hearing in my life. This video was the first time I'd ever heard of them. Thank you, Crash
1 - Beatles 2 - Smashing Pumpkins 3 - Nirvana #4 onward are always revolving but include in no particular order..... The Mars Volta, Radiohead, Zeppelin, SOAD, TOOL, Floyd, Lightning Bolt
This is a fantastic, very varied list man; so glad I somehow found your channel. Among my ever-changing list are: Death --- Queen --- Pink Floyd --- Nirvana --- Mastodon Baroness --- Pixies --- The Doors --- The Beatles --- Led Zeppelin Radiohead --- Daft Punk --- Skeletonwitch --- Rush --- Queens of the Stone Age Blind Guardian --- Black Sabbath (Dio and Ozzy) --- Death --- Pink Floyd Opeth --- Iron Maiden --- Frank Zappa --- Coldplay --- Swans --- Jimi Hendrix And others with smaller discographies: --- Diablo Swing Orchestra --- Beyond Creation Fallujah --- Have a Nice Life --- Tame Impala --- MGMT and so on
Five high on the Coldplay, there, friendo. I tend to ignore people who say they aren't any good. (Well...no comment on their two latest albums.) And yeah, pretty enjoyable video you got here, Rock Critic, sir, and I was inspired to check out Sleater-Kinney. Didn't get it at first, but now I'm quite smitten. Their song 'Call the Doctor' was the one that did it; it found a crack in my hard, uncaring exterior and tapped away at it. Welp, while I'm here I may as well git on down and name a few more. 1st tier: (The) Pixies, Against Me(!), Nicole Atkins(!), Killola, Los Offsprings, JEFF the Brotherhood, System of a Derp 2nd tier: Yeah Yeah Yeahs (damn that's a pain to type), Between the Buried and Me (damn that's a pain to type), Muse, Tool, Mr. Gnome, Future of the Left, Dr. Manhattan My sister loooves Opeth, I can't really get into em for some reason. The song 'Deliverance' is a sick bastard though.

Thank you so much for putting Rush at number one! I adore them so much but I seem to be one of the only people I know that likes them, let alone listens to them. They really deserve so much praise with all their talent and legacy since their start in music. :)

Because of this video I started listening to AFI and I dig them. I listened through The Art of Drowning, Singe the Sorrow and Decemberunderground and I dug them all, I plan on going through Burials next. I also sat down and watched the Rush documentary and it was great nad definitely got me intersted in listening to the band. I do have some questions though For AFI, fans seem rather split, some thing they sold out at some point, particularly with Decemberunderground, what is your thoughts on this? Also in regards to Rush, what is a good place to start?
Cool! I'm glad I could pique your interest in some of these bands! With AFI I can kinda understand why fans are so split. Especially the old school fans. When they started out they were VERY straight-forward punk. Not lots of bells, whistles or experimentation, they used to be more of a basic, full frontal assault. Then when they expanded their sound, there was some understandable backlash. But personally, I like the different directions they've taken over the years. If they'd stayed the course their sound would have gotten stale. It's cool that they too a chance, branched out, and were able to succeed with new soundscapes. Haters are gonna hate, but when it come to AFI, I'm no hater. With Rush... whew. That's a tough one. I guess it really just depends on your tastes. I would say you can't go wrong with Fly By Night, Moving Pictures, and/or Permanent Waves to start. If you want some newer stuff with a bit more modern flavor definitely try out Counterparts and/or Vapor Trails. And if you're feeling prog-y, then 2112 and/or Hemisphere won't do you wrong. My only advice is maybe to stay away from Caress of Steel, Presto and Roll the Bones. At least until you're more acquainted with their sound. Those albums can be tricky listens.
I've actually already sat down with 2112 and I really liked it, so I might go with Hemisphere next. I remember Caress of Steel being the album that almost killed the band, I am curious to listen to it based solely on that honestly, lol. Thanks for the advice on Rush and the insight on AFI. Not to take up too much more of your time but I am curious to know your thoughts on some other bands I am a fan of. Mainly System of a Down, The Offspring, Rammstein and Dream Theater.
My (weird) list... 10. Clearance Clear Water Revival 9. Pink Floyd 8. Oasis 7. U2 6. R.E.M. 5. (Early) Weezer 4. Modest Mouse 3. They Might Be Giants 2. The Beatles 1. Dire Straits HM: Supertramp, Young Fresh Fellows, Derek & The Dominos, and The Pixies. Yup I'm weird I'm not really into metal or punk, why I have no idea ,-,
My top 10 bands + albums: 10: Finger Eleven (Tip) 9: The Mars Volta (Francis The Mute) 8: Karnivool (Sound Awake) 7: System of a Down (Toxicity) 6: Chevelle (Sci-Fi Crimes) 5: Mudvayne (Lost and Found) 4: Slipknot (.5: The Gray Chapter) 3: Deftones (All of their albums) 2: A Perfect Circle (Thirteenth Step) 1: Tool (All of their albums PLEASE RELEASE THE NEW ALBUM)

My list can’t contain 10 so here’s just 5 1:Ween (seriously they are the best band ever) 2:Sleep 3: The Jimi Hendrix Experience 4: Black Sabbath 5:Led Zeppelin
There are a few bands here that are literally unheard of in the states. If you get a chance give Big Wreck a listen. They're similar to the Hip in that they're pretty big here but unheard of everywhere else. They're pretty much if Chris Cornell sang over Tragically Hip instrumentals
We only have 2 common entries on our lists, you and I, and they're iron maiden and rush, two epic bands but everything else on this list is great too, awesome job dude
this is my personal list (not in any order and it was hard for me to make honestly because i have alot of favorites) 1.Dead Kennedys 2.Man Or Astro 3.Man? 4.Gorilla Biscuits 5.Primus 6.NOFX 7.Bad Religion 8.Minor Threat 9.Crass 10.Leftöver Crack/Choking Victim
1. Green Day 2. Weezer 3. Nirvana 4. Fall Out Boy (pre-2009) 5. Foo Fighters 6. NOFX 7. Metallica 8. AC/DC 9. blink-182 10. The Offspring Can you guess my favorite decade of music? It's pretty obvious.
Pretty cool. Enjoyed this vid, quite a varied list. Nice Duran Duran pin haha, their bassist is too good for those guys. My personal top 10 are: 1) Radiohead 2) Brian Jonestown Massacre 3) The Doors 4) The Black Angels 5) The Warlocks 6) Pixies 7) Smashing Pumpkins 8) The White Stripes 9) Sonic Youth 10) Sigur Rós
Top 5 for me... 5. Led Zeppelin 4. The Misfits 3. The Sex Pistols 2. The Doors/The Clash And #1... Ramones, Green Day, Queen, and The Beatles! (Because fuck it)
My Top 10 Favorite bands 10. Misfits 9. Mars Volta 8. Gorrilaz 7. Weezer (WHITE ALBUM IS BEST ALBUM FIGHT ME > PINKERTON = BLUE ALBUM) 6. Motorhead 5. Baphomet (SELF TITLE > EVERYTHING ELSE) 4. Pink Floyd ( WISH YOU WERE HERE > DARKSIDE OF THE MOON) 3. Swans 2. Death Grips 1. Nine Inch Nails Also note Only band not solo acts
Mostly because there's such a rich story to tell with them. The "Weezer series" was originally going to just be one episode on Make Believe, but when I went back over their catalog I found SO much material (both positive and negative) to riff about. I considered putting them on the list, but limiting them to a 3-5 minute segment just wouldn't have done them justice.
Good list! Here's what I would put as my ten: 1. Coheed and Cambria 2. Killswitch Engage 3. Rush 4. Alice in Chains 5. Dropkick Murphys 6. Iron Maiden 7. Devin Townsend (SYL, DTP, etc.) 8. Metallica 9. Pantera 10. Type O Negative Honorable mentions include Against Me!, Faith No More, Lamb of God, and Misfits.
10. Queen 9.alice in chains 8. Green day 7. Sex pistols 6. The Beatles 5. Red hot chilli peppers 4. Panic! At the disco 3. Weezer 2. Nirvana 1. Marianas trench I.... Can't put my finger on why I really like Marianas trench. On the surface they look like another pop rock group with many shades of emo but their sound is catchy in a good way for me and the lyrics are pretty damn clever with even the dumb parts usually being intentional. And every album has like a feeling that seems like each one is a whole play/ movie/ classic tale depending on the album.
Also as somebody from Canada, many Americans have at least heard of tragically hip to some extent even if it may be small, nearly no Americans know a single thing about Marianas trench
10- Weezer 9- Avenged Sevenfold 8- twenty øne piløts 7- Linkin Park 6- Paramore 5- Fall Out Boy 4- Blink 182 3- Panic! At The Disco 2- My Chemical Romance 1- Green Day
I know I'm a tad late to the whole fracas, but sod it, I like talking about music. So here's my personal favourite bands of all time for what (absolutely nill doubtless) it's worth, with my favourite song(s) and album(s) annotated. The bottom two of my choices are fairly well known, but the other eight are kind of obscure. So if anybody knows any of them, then by the power invested in me by ABSOLUTELY NOBODY I hereby award you all of the goth points. 10. The Cure (Album- Faith, Song- The Holy Hour, Song- A Night Like This) 9. Jonathan Coulton (Song- Space Doggity) 8. Gild the Mourn (Song- Night) 7. The Rain Within (Album- Dark Drive, Song- Yours Today Mine Today) 6. The Last Dance (Album- Whispers in Rage, Song- Frozen, Song- She's Dancing) 5. The Cruxshadows (Album- The Mystery of the Whisper, Song- Breathe, Song- Insomnia) 4. The Spider Lilies (Album- In the Light, Song- Pretend) 3. Voltaire (Album- BOO HOO, Song- See You in Hell, Song- The Churchyard) With the exception of JoCo, I can trace my interest in all of the bands on this list back to Voltaire in some way, his impact on my personal musical, aesthetic, and general artistic tastes is immeasurable. 2. Ships in the Night Ships in the Night is the musical project of a young lady in Charlottesville Virginia named Alethea Leventhal, to date she has only released one and a half EPs, and I'm choosing it this as my second (okay technically third kind of) band of all time, that should tell you something. Sparse though the material may be, it's some of the most beautiful music I have ever heard. The song Dark Places on it's own is tied with One Winters Night (foreshadowing!) as the most beautiful and romantic thing I have ever heard in my life. (Album- Ships in the Night EP, Song- Dark Places) 1. Bella Morte (Album- Remains, Album- Exorcisms, Song- One Winters Night) AND The Birthday Massacre (Album- Pins and Needles, Song- Pins and Needles) I know this is a total cop out, but I CANNOT choose between these two bands. This means that Bella Morte frontman Andy Deane is on my list twice (The Rain Wthin is his Darkwave side-project), I might have a slight case of hero worship.
New version of my old list and I really hope you do another list or give us some honorable mentions. 10.Rush 9.Metallica 8.Dream Theater 7.Motorhead 6.Judas Priest 5.Iron Maiden (After listening to more of their albums I've got to say...YES!) 4.Smashing Pumpkins 3.Kamelot (I've grown to adore these guys!) 2.Queen 1.Tool (Release the new album already!) Honorable mentions Crimson Glory (INCREDIBLY underrated metal band that has one of the best metal albums of the 80s in Transcendence.) Led Zeppelin Black Sabbath Weezer (Thanks to you!)
