Just out of curiosity, what is everyone's favourite band/artist? Don't worry you can have more than one!

Mine... Funeral for a Friend, Finch, The Starting Line, System of a Down, King Prawn

Pumpkins all the way.

Then everything else, with Muse, Incubus, Tool, Jack Johnson, NIN, Floyd, The Beatles etc near the top.

I love all music. Within reason.

Also loving The Cat Empire a lot these since hearing them in Australia (seeing them in 2 weeks here in dear old London town, woo!)
And then there's No Doubt, Sublime, The Vandals + loads of punk, Atmosphere who blew me away at Warped this summer... Symposium and 'A' are my old darlings... in fact don't get me started on fave bands as I just won't shut up!

Has anyone heard of David Pajo? Quoted, extremely rightly, by The Times a few years ago as "The best guitarist in the world you never heard of".

Oh my gosh, pengwino you've been to a Warped Tour? Lucky bugger, I bought the CD while I was in LA Airport, (was gonna buy it in Canada, but didnt) and love it... would love to see those bands live, and you have, luvky thing.

And I just realised I forgot to say The Living End... they're the band that turned me away from pop and let me discover another style of music.. biggrin

anything thats chilled out and calm... meditate

Also, i like most of what SC wrote, except metalica who are nasty icky bleughness.

Scissor sisters, keane and snow patrol are my most favourites, with muse and the chillis close behind...
