I like just about everything, except dark gothic metal slash wrist and trance wich i think its too trippy for me
I like both urban and traditional music styles, from hip hop techno and drumnbass to arabic percurssion with flamengo guitars or miles blowing the trumpet
My favourite mcs are Immortal technique, Masta Ace, Rugged Man, and just quite everything that is isn't the same old ShitTv broadcasted pile, no coke-bling-hoes-hummer shit, that's garbage to the brain, molding your world view, making you wanna look/be/live like those vacuum filled heads on the video - money can't buy you brains.
My favourite bands are Looptroop, Dead Prez, RATM, System of a down and just about everything with a political/reality conotation.
On the d&b i thrill with Noisia and a drum and bass 'played' project called 'nerve' wich is completely awesome
it's playedddd
My favourite techno djs are the two slovenians Umek and Valentino Kanzyani, north american Technasia and belgian Marco Bailey, i like Rush too but that's a bit heavy..
I'm a devote fan of Paco de Lucia, Miles Davis, Jonh Maclaughlin, John Macloud, Hossam Ramzy and everything with arabic percurssion instruments darabuka and tabula, pretty much all etnic music from african roots to Kusturica's speedy gipsie themes, Ezma Redzepova, and jazzzz being Miles and Herbie Hancock my favourite
I like music - sorry i couldn't answer the thread's point, i guess i don't have a favourite band - the thing i listen the most is immortal tech if that solves it.. hehe
Even yesterday before going to bed at 7.20 am i left my computer playing the 'Piano' soundtrack from Michael Neyman, i like it although it's kinda down..
for the rest

dfa thanks for the link to Mogwai. I live in the sticks and don't get much exposure to new stuff. The music reminds me of something I heard back in the early 80's but it was way to many bowls ago to remember who, they have this slight pinkfloyd flavor. Definately some good tunes, I really liked Hunted by a freak.
yeah absolutely, System of a Down is way cool! I have to check into those bands you guys mentioned, sounds cool!

A lot of good music mentioned in here, no doubt about that, but what about:
Brian Eno (especially Eno: he's one of the most interesting, talented musicians/producers around, and he's worth studying), the Pretenders, Patti Smith, Television, Joy Division, Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, Hank Williams ("country" music: it's a rich vein to mine), Emmylou Harris, Allman Brothers...
Rhino Records has a CD box set called something like "Music that Matters from the Decade that didn't", which collects representative music from one of the most fecund periods in rock history, the 80s. Yes, the 80s. Not the stuff you'd have heard on commercial radio, but the stuff you'd have heard on college radio. Bands like XTC, early Talking Heads, the B-52s. Musically speaking, there was a helluva lot of very interesting stuff going on then.
A lot of what's going on now and what has been going on in the indie scene can be traced directly to that era.
There are some interesting things going on now too, of course: Iron and Silk. Belle and Sebastian. Joseph Arthur. Beck. It's harder to keep up these days with the proliferation of new stuff everywhere, but I'm very encouraged when I can take a moment to listen to our local station which plays a great mixture of bands and styles, from roots music to yes, country, to swing, to alt rock. It's great.
If you want to give your ears a nice tweak, refresh them from too much of the same, check out the Current:

Damn, I have some serious catching up to do!
Well, I have to say I favor heavy-hitting or hardcore stuff or whatever you call it, like System of a Down for instance is my favorite band but it is all relative, even some of their stuff I can't stand, but overall I have to say 99% of it kicks ass! But although I lean towards that brand of "alternative" or whatever it's called now, I have varied interests. Some songs just crack me up, I know they're bad and I still love them for amusement value along, like that song "Don't bring me down, BRUUUCE!" HAHAHA
But like I said I have little familiarity with some of the bands suggested, and I don't see the appeal of Hall and Oates personally but like someone said, to each their own!
Unless it is for amusement value, that Chevy to the Levy song for instance, is that theirs? Anyway, lots of great input and I value it all.... Moe was one band listed, also many others I am unfamiliar with.... any links to get better acquainted with them?
OK THANKS
PEACE

"and hell even Jimmy Buffet, (he's like the dead for old people)"
Damn, I guess that makes me old, I am 36 but now I feel 96! When I was in college I hung out with a group of drunks half the time and a group of smokers the other half, and the drunks loved Jimmy Buffet! Seriously, I had to devote some time to studying so I wouldn't fail out, so they went without me to bars or dorm parties all days of the week.... and I just scraped by with like a B- average, just under 3.0 I guess, and some of them got better and they were constantly drunk, I don't know how they did it! One tiny Oriental guy could drink incredible amounts and had like a 3.94 average! Some played sports or stickball or other invented or real sports, how they could do all that and still pass I'll never know! And as it was I was pretty proud of my average considering I studied for tests or did papers like an hour before and did as well as I did!
But I digress.... please link me up with what is cool today so I don't feel so old, and I will continue to enjoy all the new heavy-hitting stuff alongside the old classics like Zeppelin and the Stones, and Pink Phloyd, and so on... PEACE
