Title: Your Top Ten Fave Bands -or guess 'em
Post by: on May 27, 2004, 02:56:00 pm
In the vein of, nkotbie's "Why are we here?" thread, I thought to futher 'enhance' the mutual understanding of each other's tastes(or lack therof) it could be rather friendly to post your personal top 10 favorite bands.   Or if you'ld prefer we can guess at them.  
 
 For example, I'd say that Mankie's top 10 fave list would look something like this:
 
 mankie:
 
 Bowie
 Tom Waits
 Bowie
 Stranglers
 Bowie
 Squeeze
 Bowie
 Bowie
 Bowie
 Bowie
 
 markie:
 
 The Only Ones
 The Fall
 The High Strung
 GBV
 The Only Ones
 The Fall
 The High Strung
 GBV
 The Only Ones
 The Only Ones
 
 Rhett:
 
 Old 97's
 Old 97's
 Pernice Bros.
 Wilco
 J.Cash
 Old 97's
 Old 97's
 Pernice Bros.
 Wilco
 J.Cash
 
 -------------------------------
 
 So post your top ten fave bands, or guess somebody else's...or both!  Have fun.  Remember: No Wagering!

Me...when was the last time I saw you out at a show? As many other board members can tell you, I enjoy a lot of music more than the Clov. My top 10 would be very hard to peg down as it changes from moment to moment.

You funny, funny people....
 While Liz Phair's "Exile" is one of my desert island discs, as is The Posies "Failure", overall they're not top ten material.  And Madonna?!  Kosmo, just 'cuz I'm going to the concert?  That damn Markie, he told you I had Madonna on in my car.  It was one song on a mix!!   But you certainly got the gist of my list, yessiree bob, you did.
 
 Here's my list -- now this is alltime top ten (actually 11):
 
 Bob Mould
 The Replacements
 Siouxsie & the Banshees
 Foo Fighters
 that dog.
 Cheap Trick/The Police
 Sloan
 Jellyfish
 Tommy Keene
 Judybats
 
 One thing I think is interesting is this list, which I just posted on another site -- it's your 10 favorite *currently active* bands -- so kind of your faves right now.
 
 Good topic....I almost think 10 on this list is harder than Desert Island discs.
 
 Snow Patrol
 The Wrens
 Sleater-Kinney
 Sloan
 Scout
 Foo Fighters
 Fountains of Wayne
 Guided by Voices
 Washington Social Club
 The Decemberists/New Pornographers (tie, I'm cheating)
 
 Dammit: Spoon, Idlewild and Soundtrack of our Lives have to be honorable mentions. Told ya this was hard.

 
 As for doing list for y'all, I'm terrible at that.  I know a few fave bands:  I'd put
 - Lloyd Cole on Brennser's
 - couldn't believe Beautiful South wasn't on Mank's first list
 - figure Old 97s and Pernice for Rhett (but don't know if they're all time or current faves)
 - going with bands with cute hair is about as well as I could do for LuLu
 - pollard's got GBV and a bunch of Pitchfork darlings
 - Sugartastic El Tee is a band coming to Birchmere I've never heard of
 - Lily loves her Damien Rice
 - Markie -- The tyde, the Delgados, and some stuff Pollard's given him recently
 - Dupek, some prog rock I know by name but am not so sure I know any songs
 - thirsty, something loud
 - redsock, EXIT CLOV
 - Skeeter, a mix of jam and indie and post-punk and...damn that guy loves music
 - Bede, GBV and....?
 - Kurosawa, all the coolest shit coming out of the British Isles (or music that sounds like it comes from the British Isles but is from Brooklyn)\
 -ggw, he seems to go to just about everything and I can't tell if he's liking it or not, but he did see Dylan
 multiple times, didn't he....he's old school I'm thinkin'
 - Kosmo, no doubt there are five power pop bands I had never heard of before meeting him -- like starbelly, De Novo Dahl, the Shazam, Myracle Brah
 - samantha, I GOT BIG TITS and I'M IN HIGH SCHOOL
 - flawd, a bunch of bands I have NEVER heard of
 - guiny, I have no clue
 - sonick, let's all say it together, radiohead
 
 I forgot people, sorry, never thought I was going to do that....

Since I have been branded with the Pitchfork label, much like Sonick with that Spin tattoo on his ass, don't ask me how I know, I have only drank with him once.  I will take a shot at my current top 10.  I think only 2 or 3 may be loved by Pitchfork.
 
 GBV
 Decemberists
 Shearwater
 Ted Leo
 Mountain Goats
 Okkervil River
 Lucero
 Pernice Brothers
 Microphones
 Superdrag
 
 Ones that would be on an all time list but are not in high favor right now due to previous over listening:
 
 Wilco
 Neutral Milk Hotel
 Son Volt/Jay Farrar
 Jayhawks
 Modest Mouse
 Jeff Buckley
 Built to Spill
 Luna
 
 Ones that may be on it soon:
 Beta Band
 Von Bondies
 Of Montreal
 Thermals
Title: Re: Your Top Ten Fave Bands -or guess 'em
Post by: nonmenthol on May 28, 2004, 12:18:00 am
Nirvana
 Mindless Self Indulgence
 Tomahawk
 Deftones
 Nelly furtado
 
 Honorable mention: The Melvins

Too funny...I was going to say that Snow Patrol would be on your current fave list. Snow Patrol might show up on mine, which I hear I have to thank someone for...Wondering if it is on his...(sorry for the run-on).

Mine:
 
 Old 97's
 Hank Williams
 Wilco
 BR549
 Billie Holiday
 the Smiths
 Pernice Brothers
 Beulah
 Jason and the Scorchers
 Dwight Yoakam
 
 ...maybe more reflective of what I've been listening to lately
 
 Too hard to name anyone else's. All the ones I would have attempted have already been done.

Despite the fact that The Dead are at the top of my list, I'm not really a fan of "jam bands".
 
 The Grateful Dead
 R.E.M.
 Ramones
 Psychedelic Furs
 The Slickee Boys
 David Bowie
 X
 Husker Du
 The Rolling Stones
 Bob Dylan
 
 It varies depending on my mood, but this is pretty accurate.  The Grateful Dead and REM are miles above the rest.

Post by: chaz on May 28, 2004, 10:26:00 am
Fave all time in no order:
 Replacements
 Stooges
 Husker Du
 Afghan Whigs
 Misfits
 Beatles
 Bowie
 Modern Lovers
 Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
 Radiohead
 
 ...but as with the top 5 album thread that's off the top of my head and I'd probably answer a little different an hour from now.
Title: Re: Your Top Ten Fave Bands -or guess 'em
Post by: mankie on May 28, 2004, 10:34:00 am
Without putting too much thought into it, here's my initial 10 best, in no specific order.
 
 Bowie
 Beautiful South/Housemartins
 Stranglers
 Ian Dury and the Blockheads
 Solas

That's hilarious.  
 
 The first time I heard Getz/Gilberto I didn't know what to make of it.  It was so quiet.  The girl I was dating at the time, who played it for me, probably wanted to make out to something listenable.

Gotta say, this is super fun.  I'm listening to Superdrag now because they're on a list or two.  Great, great stuff.
 
 Also, I think so many of the lists are really good, and I find that every single list has at least a couple bands I think are great as well.  Really fascinating....
 
 That's the only problem with the lists, there are lots of bands I LOVE that can't make it up there.

Did anybody watch Leno on Wednesday night, apparently John Davis, lead singer of Superdrag and more recently a god man, was on as part of Allison Moorer's band.

I was going to tape it, but forgot.
 
 They also played Iota a few months back, but I couldn't go because I had school.

Only on this board would someone refer to Allison Moorer's performance on Leno as "missed John Davis on Leno".

I was in the same boat as you.  I was tempted to put them, but I felt bad leaving out some bands that really deserve it, since I've loved them for so much longer.  As is, I've already pretty much re-written some of my list.

Good job! With that said, I would go crazy trying to write one of these up for myself. Would have to put Roxy Music and early Eno on there somewhere. Maybe Swervedriver, Ride, Catherine Wheel, Joy Division, Doves, Electronic (except only one album is that fantastic to me), Monster Movie, Highspire (I LOVE their album,.....like I said. It's just impossible!
