Please no Stoffe, just stop this madness.

Anyway, some of mine are:

Nightwish
Evanesence (no memeing)
Cradle of Filth
Dimmu Borgir
Black Sabbath

I don't really listen to any particular bands, since I listen to hand picked songs from here and there. I'm also more fond of videogame music than your typical bands. But if I had to mention any "favourite" bands, there are some folk-metal bands that I like, such as:

Finntroll
Korpiklaani
Turisas
Eluveitie

But there are two exceptions I've gotta mention, which are:

O-Life Japan (my favourite Touhou circle)
Bôa (mainly the entire Twilight album, which is really awesome)

@Eglamore
>famous Welsh bands are Lostprophets and Bullet for My Valentine
J U ST

Just to name a couple of favorites:

  • Led Zeppelin
  • Pink Floyd
  • Yes (well, only like 3 albums; need to listen to more)
  • King Crimson (only like 2 albums; need to listen to more)
  • Steely Dan
  • The Beatles
  • Creedence Clearwater Revival
  • Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
  • Queen
  • ELO

Do note that with a lot of these bands, I haven't listened to much of their albums, but I've listened to a bunch of their songs on the radio. Any band in which I've actively gone out and listened to an album of their's makes them a bigger favorite, and out of all of these, Pink Floyd would be my number 1 choice as favorite band.

KoЯn (Issues is the best album in history)
Limp Bizkit (i love Fred so much <3) (first album is the best)
Seether <3 (the only band that has never disappointed me)
Linkin Park (old albums only (plus The Hunting Party))
PRIMUS <3
Rammstein (die beste Rockband Deutschlands <3)
Skillet (the last 2 albums suck so much)
Red (amazing band literally no one knows :'(((()
Avenged Sevenfold
Evanescence (hello childhood, lol)
30 Seconds to Mars (first two albums only, Capricorn is their best song)
Metallica (One is the best song ever recorded in my humble opinion, despite the horrific quality)

I'm afraid I might have missed something, but I suppose these are the most favorite ones. There are so many other bands that have a few songs that I love. A full list would have been reeeeeeeeeeeeally long.

Can't categorize music if my life depended on it, so filter out whatever doesn't fit (semi-sorted from most to least favorite):
-Vertical Horizon: Pre "Everything You Want", the rest is just okay. My interest in the later stuff left along with Keith Kane.
-Elton John: Mostly late 80s to late 90s, Reg Strikes Back is my favorite. Haven't really stopped and listened to the really early stuff (Honky Chateau) yet.
-R.E.M.: One of the few groups whose quality stays pretty consistant from early to current day, with at least two or three repeatable songs per album.
-Tonic: Alternative is such a vague genre, but if anyone asked me what I thought alternative was, Tonic would have to be my example.
-Depeche Mode: See R.E.M.
-Genesis: Not gonna lie. Wilson is my favorite iteration, then Collins, then Gabriel. It's all good, but the music of the Gabriel era is simply too long and just..off for me. Collins era has some catchy stuff ("Dodo" for days), but it did get stale.

Also, quick mention of Buckethead. Not much to say, though. He good. He real good.
