I like a lot, my favorite would probably be Nirvana; but I like anything from Aerosmith to Metallica. So, in the Classic rock (Zeppelin, Boston...etc) - grunge (nirvana) area
Zeppelin and Boston as 'classic rock.' I think I must be getting old.
Can't say I really have a favorite band, but all those you mentioned are awesome. Rock and Blues are my styles.
I do however have a favorite singer: Lisa Hannigan, she has the most incredible voice I've ever heard and now that she's on her own not being hidden in the background with Damien Rice's music her music is incredible. Definitely on the mellower side compared to the bands you mentioned, but worth checking out.
I would have to say my favorite band is scorpions, up to the point where they hit the scene here in the states I never really had a favorite band either. There were just songs that I liked or didnt.But as time went by I had to add to the list of bands, zepplin of course and aerosmith, quiet riot, motley crue, journey, travelling wilburies, van halen [eddy does things with a guitar like I've never seen anyone do] ,god I guess I'm getting old too. Jim.
I have a few favourites. A bit of an assortment too. I used to be a little emo and listen to like emo music like AFI and then my cousin showed me some really good rap songs. And now im not emo at all anymore. lol So ya. I still have some good emo bands that i like, but i also have a bunch of like hip hop and rap and even old rock and reggae and stuff that i like.
Lets see probably one of my faves is Kanye West, and this is more pop but i really do like Hedley... its a canadian band. There are a bunch of others that i like to but those are just some of my top ones that i listen to a lot right now.
My favorite is HIM. Been a fan for 8 years now My senegal Rickie actually likes them too, only band he would dance to xD But i also like other bands, such as Cradle of Filth, Within Temptation, Evanescence, Lacuna Coil, Inkubus Sukkubus, Rolling Stones, Bring me the Horizon, Bless the Fall, Black Sabbath, Ozzy, Equilibrium, Avenged Sevenfold, Killswitch Engaged, and much more. I am into kind of goth metal, speed metal, death metal, black metal, and screamo...ya, thats just me xD
All the bands mentioned are great, tho I'm not into the new stuff like Kanye West and stuff. Never really heard any emo bands, I'll have to see what that's like.
And yes, Eddie Van Halen certainly is a sight so to see on the guitar!
Aerosmith - might go to their concert this year... I hope!
