I think you’re right, Parlance…I re-thought my reply while you were posting yours!

The following people thank Von Bontee for this post:

My favorites are after the Beatles, in order: Radiohead, Green Day, Nirvana, Wilco. My favorite to just listen to is Green Day, if I want something more musically complex, it’s Radiohead. Other than The Beatles. Which honestly even on some of their weirder songs are still really easy listening. Which I’d say is a big part of their strength. You can just turn them on (barring Revolution 9 ) and just be happy.

It’s all easy listening. Even when it’s not it is. That’s the magic. Even Piggies has a weird sort of charm to it.

Every time I try to go to page 9 the whole page goes blank!a-hard-days-night-ringo-7

Anyway..

– Pink Floyd. Do I even need to explain why?

– Fleetwood Mac. Haven’t heard everything, but most of what I’ve heard was good.

– Metallica. Same story.

– Arctic Monkeys. Awesome band, though Alex Turner needs to get his head out of his arse.

– Pendulum

– The Prodigy. Haven’t heard everything, but a lot of it was good.

– Oasis. Can’t help it, I never cared about Oasis, but all of a sudden I love them. Well, a good bunch of songs, because they’ve also made a lot of crap.

– Muse

– Fleet Foxes

– Foo Fighters

– Coldplay probably. 

 

My problem is that there aren’t a lot of bands beside the Beatles of which I like so many songs. The above listed bands are bands I often listen to, but it’s often the same bunch of songs, because a lot of it just bores me or isn’t too good. There’s a lot of other music which I listen to, of course, but that’s just about 3 songs per artist so I don’t feel the need to list those, even though I probably listen a lot to those songs.

I know you hear this a lot: Queen. I like particularly their A Night at Opera phase; it was great creativity. Although I don’t like the post-Freddie milking (Queen+ Paul Rodgers and Adam Lambert, I don’t like Made in Heaven or a lot of their compilations, MMM knows this) and I do think that they should have stopped when Freddie died. But I do still think of Brian as one of my favorite guitarists. And I do miss John Deacon.

By hook or by crook, I'll be last in this book.

I’m a big Stray Cats fan. There are a lot of individual artisits I really like, but the stray cats are probably my second favorite band

Agree with all of the above. I hate it when people milk dead artists. I think it’s disrespectful and egotistic. Queen isn’t Queen without Freddie. And wait..John Deacon doesn’t perform with them anymore either, I had completely forgotten about that. That means half of the band is gone. Lol.

I nowadays pay no attention to Queen and what they are doing, the reworking old tunes sounds horrible considering two of the band wont be giving input (unless John is involved and i dont remember his presence being mentioned in the press releases)

I’m with you there. And no, John hasn’t been involved since “No One But You”- that was 17 years ago. Although I think that a big part of the reason why John retired was depression. He lost his father at a very young age, and the death of Freddie took an even bigger toll on him. Apparently, from what Brian and Roger say, he is very fragile, and they don’t talk to him much except for business matters. It’s very sad.

Let’s see…

– Tame Impala

– Pink Floyd

– The Who

– The Jimi Hendrix Experience

– The Kinks

– The Jam

– The Rolling Stones

And I’ve just started listening to Led Zeppelin today. I didn’t think they’d be my cup of tea, but I quite like them.

I’m not a fan of any other band or singer, only the Beatles! a-hard-days-night-paul-8a-hard-days-night-john-6ahdn_george_08a-hard-days-night-ringo-10 Except perhaps (well, yes, thinking twice, I guess so) Paul (Paul’s career after the Beatles).

 

Of course, though I’m not a fan, I like other bands and singers. I love John’s solo career and I also like George’s and Ringo’s.

Besides the Beatles members (I’m glad everybody here is a Beatles fan, otherwise you’d be thinking ‘This one is mad!’), let’s see… The Queen, Simon and Garfunkel, Bob Dylan, Elvis, Leonard Cohen, The Beach Boys … Maybe I’m wrong but some of you are probably thinking ‘She lived the 60’s’. No, I’m only 30 years old! a-hard-days-night-george-10 But this is the type of music I like…

I’m a huge fan of Bob Dylan as well, his music means a lot to me. But to me there’s nothing that compares my love for The Beatles, I love everything about them and even if I listen to them like a 1000 times I never get tired of them. BEATLES FOREVER!
