SECOND FAVORITE BAND

And why.

I know is very difficult, but I would say The Cult.
I love all their discography. Ian Astbury is a dangerous frontman like the old times (Iggy, etc), Billy Duffy does one of the best riffs of this decades, and the songs....well, Forever The Cult, The Cult Forever.

gotta be Rush for me......maybe Metallica 3rd..........the only other bands (besides Queen+) that I have seen in concert more than once!


Rush because they're 3 ridiculously great musicians........and Neil Peart writes awesome lyrics.......

nice topic. for me: the beatles. they crammed so much into 10 years and 4/8 track recording tape - it's unbelievable and will never see their like again. influences/inspired and led so many.

as regards seeing bands (but don't like either loads) more than once - whitesnake (christ does coverdale like his own cock n balls) ac/dc - they're good but not great....inxs - coulda been great - but weren't

Looking at the number of their CDs I own I would say Iron Maiden or Pearl Jam are my 2nd band, but the band that really gets me these days is Alter Bridge.

Not band, but I like the modern and old blues guys, the 'modern guys' as Walter Trout, David Gogo, Michael Katon, the two best Kings, as Albert King and Freddie King, no, no BB....I like Albert Collins a lot. Rory Gallagher. As for the non blues, John Waite, Thunder, Golden Earring, Grand Funk Railroad.. Actually my list is long, music is big part in my life. I must admit, there isn't day gone by without Queen...

Tom

In terms of bands, The Beatles are my second favourite. In terms of overall musical artists, Bob Dylan would be second, with the Beatles coming in third.

I can't pick just one. Bob Dylan, John Coltrane, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers and Pink Floyd are definitely up there.

Nice topic.

I don't think there are too many bands with a lot of good songs, I think I have to say Simon and Garfunkel or The Beatles.

Also The XX are really good.

The Led Zeppelin Floyd.

wow, so many bands and solo artists I ove so much; very difficult to pick just one

most beloved 5: Supergrass (yeah, they would probably be my #2), Extreme, the good-old GNR, Bruce Springsteen and Mr. Bowie.

Pretty close: Manic Street Preachers and Foo Fighters

Honorable mentions: Faith No More, NIN, Audioslave, Metallica, The Cult, The Beatles & Rolling Stones

Besides, I confess I´ve been a slave to Foxy Shazam for the last 3 or 4 years.

For me, there is no second or first or third etc....there are so many of them and I`can`t create a list...really impossible to me somehow.
My second favortite(s) in no order....Pink Floyd, The Doors,Rolling Stones,The Eagles,Roxy Music,Deep Purple,Jimi Hendrix...and the list goes on and on...and if I´am in the right mood...Kate Bush is fantastic.

Yeah make a list of favourite bands is always tough, i don't even bother, i just listen the music i want the moment i want. Lately i was listening a lot of 70s bands (Queen, Floyd, Led, Rush), some songs of the 90s, and modern rock. And then there is my love to people like Holst (i really like Saturn) some Russian guys (Rachmaninov, Prokofiev) and celtic music.

I'm really hating a lot of the 80s music.

I wrote The Cult, but is true, next week can be The Doors, The Mission, Bauhaus, NIN The Beatles, X,. Other day a solo artist like Elvis, Bowie or Scott Heron...

No doubt my second favourite band is Max Raabe & Palast Orchester.
They even did two nice Queen covers. The one of We Will Rock You made me knew them.
