Also, if you hate Queen your opinion on music is equivalent to dog shit to me.

I highlighted this to add I could not possibly agree more. Almost everything in the universe, especially music, is subjective, but the legacy of Queen absolutely is not.

i really grew to like 80's "hair metal":
dokken
def leppard
cinderella
skid row
wasp
etc...

and i was only burn in the late 80's so its not because of nostalgic feelings or something... i really like it!

 

[necronile]

Godsmack

 

[Kullerbytta]

I think I posted here already, but I realized I've got another entry!

Cradle of Filth.
Everyone is hating on them because of Dani's singing, and I can see why. At first I wasn't very impressed with his singing style but I've grown accustomed to it and I wouldn't want him to sing in any other way. Jez wouldn't fit.

Their songs are immensely cool and atmospheric
And their lyrics are among the best I've heard. I'm not really into Gothic themes but there's no denying Dani knows damn well how to write, describe and create entrancing lyrical content.

Soooo biased
They're great. I don't know what would've become of me if I had never discovered them.

 

[Jazzamatazz]

I love Deafheaven, Wolves in the Throne Room, and Between the Buried and Me.

 

[Skrapmetal]

Trivium. Big fan of all of their stuff, with the exception of maybe The Crusade... which is okay, but not fantastic.

 

[Paul Gilbert]

*deep sigh*

 

[no_dice]

Skrillex

 

[MoshJosh]

My Chemical Romance

 

[Don Vito]

^ All three of the above posts.

I can't imagine anybody hating them, but I'll say that the best song I've heard this year is the new Icona Pop. So good.

 

[stevexc]

Skrillex

I like his Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites EP. It's got some cool tracks. And I like noise.

 

[TheStig1214]

Does Periphery count? (not around here, obviously)

Other than that, KMFDM, some Slipknot/Stone Sour, Alien Ant Farm, and 311.

 

[Frankenstrat]

I really like a day to remember.

 

[works0fheart]

Cryptopsy.


Well... Their early stuff.

 

[BlackMastodon]

Godsmack and Cradle of Filth. Loved them as a kid and still do love their older stuff (up to Nymphetamine for CoF). Haters gon' hate.

I don't hate Queen by any means, but I'm 99% sure that if the only place I heard "Bohemian Rhapsody" was Wayne's World, my life certainly wouldn't be any worse off. That song is so god damn over-hyped I can't even begin.

I don't like Skrillex or dubstep in particular, but Scary Monsters & Nice Sprites (the song) has like the best theme ever.
Super simple, but what a hook.
