The Most Influencal Music On You

[Wizard]

I saw a thread like this on a another forum. About music artists/bands that influences/stuck to us for such a long time for one thing or another. Be it their messege or just for fun. Abit their style, lyrics or skill. Which artists you've sticken with and actually supported all these years.

 

Rage Against The Machine - These guys passed messeges that sometimes the media are just money hungry wh0rz. They raised awareness of the U.S` actions to both the innocent and guilty parties. From music censoreship to the mischarged Mumia. These guys have the greatest concerts and style. With Zack de la Rocha's MC ways in Mic Check to the hermonic guitar riffs of Tom Morello's guitar in People of the Sun, y.Tim.k pumping up the bass and Brad Wilk on drums in Bulls on Parade. These guys get the messege across loud and hard.

 

Radiohead - This band could be simply put as, "amazing." From Pablo Honey to Hail to the Theif, these guys have come a long way. Backen as the old Pink Floyd like rehashs to the synthesizers in Idiotque. This group has put a meaning on originallity above everything else. You always hear something new and strange from Radiohead. Be it Street Fade or 2+2=5, this group amazes me no matter how much bad you say about it.

 

System Of A Down - Just like Rage, these guys got their messege across with one of their singles, entitled "Boom!" Which opressed good old Dubya's attack on Iraq. Nu-Metal is great in some cases, this band shows it. Oh, Rage ISN'T NU-METAL.

 

Public Enemy - Ah, the great Public Enemy. These guys rule in everyway, they wrote the book on hip-hop. These guys is what rap is all about. Freestyling.

 

Fear Factory - Progressive Rock/Metal band Fear Factory also is with getting a messege across, with their new album Archetype on the way, the band looks like their coming back again after a year hiatus. Their music lays down pretty much on what they think of the world. Archetype's first song is Slave Labor. Have I sold my soul already?

 

A Perfect Circle - Maynard's (From Tool) voice is what attracted me towards the band of misfits. A project that took 4 years to complete, the winning forumal is Maynard on the vocals, Billy Howerdel(also from Tool ) on guitar, Josh Freese on drums and the ever so changing roster of the other guitarist (was Troy Van Leeuwen, then Danny Lohner, now its James Iha) and the bassist (was Paz Lenchantin, now it's Twiggy Ramirez). It amazes me of what free time the 2 Tool memberes have to this. If their tour ever comes to Montreal, I am so going.

 

Last but not least, Tool - This band...is simply amazing. They simply ask for you to think for your self and question authority. Their music has impacted alot of fans along the years and is one of the original bands that started out in the 90's and is still together(Rage, Soundgarden, Pumpkins, Nirvana[a part of Cobain being dead] broke up). These guys make their presence known well, with their 2000 album, "Lateralus" made even more fans, with their single of the same name, they've seperated them selves of the latter of other groups that try their style. My Ænema is not like yours. Hush is one of their only videos that you actually SEE the band in their videos. Check em out, bound to change something you believe in.

let's see..

 

PLACEBO - why? because i love them and they're extremely talented, and brian is just to sexy

Dead Kennedys - Punk. Pure Bred type. Nuff said.

Yeah, I used to like DK but then there was that big furore over the just jeans commercial. I now have a lot of respect for Jello Biafra, as he left the band over that, but the rest of the band...

 

Note: if any other band had done it (apart from maybe the Sex Pistols) I wouldn't have given a dam. But DK on a COMMERCIAL??? NO WAY!

 

I would have to say the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Pearl Jam, Janes Addiction and Blue Oyster Cult are the four bands that have really made an impression on me as to the art of music, by exploring the limits of what you can do in such creative ways.

[Inky]

social distortion - since 1984 these cats have molded me into the greaser punk I am today.

stray cats - brian setzer is the one and only guitar god

reverend horton heat - stray cats with humor and more staying power

johnny cash - since before I could walk I've been hearing the man in black

the misfits - psychobilly before there was such a thing

the cramps - same as above

ramones - no explanation needed

the clash - I can't believe no one said this, the only band that matters, joe strummer was a genius

dead milkmen - all those goofball punk bands (blink182, offspring, greenday, ect) owe these guys there paychecks

demented are go - I dunno you have to experiance them to understand

tiger army - the drummer got shot in the head, bullet still in his brain, and they are still recording!

rancid - not so much for what they do now but for what they did.

nirvana - setzer made me want to play guitar, cobain made me believe I could.

elvis - not fat, vegas elvis, sun records elvis

G. G. allen - slipknot and marilyn manson owes this dude (RIP) thier careers.

buddy holly - like Cash his music has played in my house since I could remember

 

and I could rattle off many more, mostly punk from the late 70's early 80's and rockabilly from the 50's/60's
