But putting them aside, it's probably Superchunk. Favorite albums are (in an ever-shifrting order) Indoor Living, Foolish, and Here's Where The Strings Come In

When I was much younger I remember seeing Superchunk open for Fugazi (memory hazy - I could be wrong). I remember knowing nothing at all about Superchunk, but being impressed by them.

The Replacements- Hootenany

bhlloy · 06-25-2005, 04:01 PM

Another vote for Def Leppard... favourite albums being Adrenalize and Pyromania

korme · 06-25-2005, 04:16 PM

im probably seeing Dave in like 2 weeks, pumped for that

timmae · 06-25-2005, 11:38 PM

Probably Alkaline Trio at the moment... although Sleater Kinney is a close (and rising) second...

TLK · 06-25-2005, 11:59 PM

Alkaline Trio for me also....

Ksyrup · 06-26-2005, 08:33 PM

I downloaded a Def Leppard bootleg a month or so ago and just got around to checking it out. It's a very good recording from 1983 at the LA Forum. Anyone want a copy?

duckman · 06-26-2005, 10:06 PM

I have to say Chris Cornell is my favorite performers. The guy has a tremendous voice.

Tara · 06-27-2005, 01:40 AM

At the very first place:
WuTang clan.

Groundhog · 06-27-2005, 04:00 AM

I'd say the group Yes would be probably my all-time fave, because their album 'Fragile' really opened my ears up to a new world of music that I never knew existed... more so than even Radiohead's 'OK Computer'.

Karlifornia · 06-27-2005, 12:20 PM

Radiohead

then Trail of Dead

then Bright Eyes

Rockstar · 06-27-2005, 01:32 PM

The Doors
Motley Crue

Pyser · 06-27-2005, 01:37 PM

tie between the Dandy Warhols and Ben Folds Five

Ksyrup · 06-28-2005, 06:29 AM

I think I would shoot myself if my favorite band booked this gig:

Def Leppard will reportedly perform two songs on ABC's "Live with Regis and Kelly" airing Thursday, June 30 at 9:00 a.m. The band are expected to play one of their classic hits as well as a new song for the "Live" audience.

Ksyrup · 06-28-2005, 06:30 AM

Oh, and that should say, "The band is expected to play..." Godammit!

VPI97 · 06-28-2005, 07:07 AM

Overall favorite - Radiohead

Favorite band to see live - Counting Crows

Kevin · 06-28-2005, 07:50 AM

Bruce Springsteen and E Street Band - The River
Stevie Ray Vaughan - Texas Flood

However, now I'm mellowing with age and listen more to folk like Stan Rogers or Chuck Brodsky.

Promotion is promotion, I s'pose. I'm just pissed that their concert in Schaumburg sold out. At the time I was trying to get tickets, it was the ONLY show on the whole freaking tour that was sold out.

Ksyrup · 06-28-2005, 08:43 AM

I guess. It probably has more to do with the target audience of 30-something moms who remember Pour Some Sugar On Me than anything else. And I remember when John Waite plaed Regis a few years ago. Not my favorite artist, but I've always been a big fan of his from the Babys through his recent solo stuff.

We're getting old. I can't wait until Cadillac whips out a Slayer song to try to sell its 2018 STS.

Throwing Copper is good, but Mental Jewelry is better.

It's tough to say what my all-time favorite band is, because I've had so many different bands were favorites at different points in my life. If I were to be forced to pick one a gunpoint (which is effectively the idea of this thread) it would be Alice in Chains.

1. Dirt
2. Jar of Flies
3. Facelift
