Interest in different bands

Hi which band do you ythink I should be interested in?
Here's my list
Nirvana
The Darkness
Status Quo
Guns N' Roses
The Clash
The Sex Pistols

Guns 'n' Roses. The rest is crap :)

are we allowed to brainwash you now?

listen to the Darkness homie
and vote Bush

What do you think of Evanescence? I've heard 'My Immortal', and a song or two from their first cd, Origin, which are pretty interesting. Amy Lee sounds incredible in the very beginning of 'Lies'...but again, I lack any real knowledge on the group - is it worth paying any attention to?

Oh god, they're so talentless and unoriginal.

If you want to have an evidence of the astonishing control majors have on music and trends, Evanescence are the good place to look at... I mean: obviously Amy Lee has a good voice and the songs are undoubtly easy-listening but, as Fried Chicken pointed out, there is no originality at all in what they play!!! I know one hundred bands I've been listening to (and sometimes supported on tour with my band) which played the same things as Evanescence at least ten years before them!!! And, from their songs, you could argue an amount of talent and freshness Evanescence don't have and never will... If you love that kind of music, and you DO like to listen to something absolutely fantastic, pick up "Nighttime Birds" by "The Gathering"... They are a Dutch band (and Fried Chicken will be even happier - btw, do you know them?) which has always been ignored by the mainstream... Try to listen something by them, and then tell me what you think...

Believe me, they'll give you shivers...

You must listen to Rush - that's an order.

I've never heard of 'The Gathering' before, but will definitely look them up. Denki!

Here's a thought ... make your own mind up. On the other hand, there's nothing wrong with proper pop music!

Listen to George Michael , Wham!
Black Sabbath
