Jethro Tull Iron Maiden Opeth Primus

Between those I cannot decide.

[–] imetators@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 day ago

Nice to see a fellow Primus enjoyer once in a while.

King Gizzard and the Wizard Lizard. Their live shows kick ass and they've got such amazing chemistry together. Love listening to them jam.

I'm mostly on the 20 meter band myself. There's an active packet community on 14.105 LSB.

It's changed from year to year and scene to scene and phase of life to phase of life. But Pink Floyd has always been up there.

[–] Krauerking@lemy.lol 1 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

The Wrecks

Currently love their pushback on anti empathy in the most punk way.
They have a song Sonder and Soapbox that are great when you are feeling like you are stuck with people who don't care.

They perform great live.

System of a Down

[–] mrmaplebar@fedia.io 6 points 1 day ago

If I had to pick one, I'd have to pick The Clash.

[–] galaxy_nova@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago (5 children)

Probably Sungazer but Polyphia and Casiopea are close seconds

[–] hitstun@feddit.online 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Sungazer is amazing! I need more Adam Neely in my life. High quality picks there.

Thank You Scientist! More rock bands need horns.

My current favorite band / musician is STOMACH BOOK. The main overarching theme she presents is trans pain manifested in anger and wrath. I love it, I'm not even trans.

[–] zxqwas@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Rotting Christ probably.

[–] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Opeth, although I don’t love their more recent drift away from death metal (dear god it’s been a decade now). I’ve really loved Cattle Decapitation’s newer stuff, too.

Oh and I second the guy declaring that Wu Tang is for the Children

Saw them last week. Omg, I wish it never ended.

[–] ArgumentativeMonotheist@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's hard to pick one between ELO, Jamiroquai, the Bee Gees and Linkin Park.

I was so sad to learn of Chester's passing. He was a trouble man. Very troubled :(

[–] Noblesavage@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

While Chester was one of kind - I really like Emily Armstrong. I saw them live a few months ago and she put on a SHOW. I got worried when the first few songs she was getting the crowd to sing most of the lyrics for the old Chester stuff, but then she let it rip for the second half and fucking tore the place down.

The Offspring

[–] flamingos@feddit.uk 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Fit for an Autopsy.

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

It's a four-way tie between David Byrne/Talking Heads, Oingo Boingo, Spin Doctors and Yello.

Edit: five way tie - add in Earth, Wind and Fire (pre 1981)

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)
