I haven't seen one of these in here since I've been here, so sorry if this is a rehash of a previous thread. Favorite bands, GO!

Cures for boredom:

Nightwish (power metal) (Oceanborn or Dark Chest of Wonders albums. TRUST ME ON THIS)
Kamelot (good slightly over-the-top metal fun!)
Social Distortion (... do I even need to explain..? )
Fair to Midland (think metal meets Ren Faire.. pretty cool)

and yes, I also like some of the older-skool stuff... The Temptations, the Supremes, Chicago, Europe.. ;D also good silly fun.

I just dug out a few older favorites. Toy Matinee, Yes, John Hiatt, Little Feat, and Sas Jordan.

Ron M.

I haven't heard of ANY of those, heh.

Someone else listens to Nightwish and Kamelot!? Holy crap! I love me some power metal, but I like death metal, thrash metal, speed metal, and plain metal, as well as hard rock.

win! not too big myself on the death metal and black metal... that stuff gets a little scary for my taste, heh. Cradle of Filth and their ilk give me nightmares! But Kamelot and Nightwish are the two bands I could never get tired of. I once had Oceanborn in the cd player in the truck for a few months solid. They are just that good. Also, you forgot hair metal! Europe? Dragonforce? ^_^

I had Avenged Sevenfold in the cd player in the truck for the last week and I'd flip over to the cd when the songs on all three major radio stations all sucked. After this week.. I've reached my Avenged tolerance for the month.. think I've overdosed actually. That's ONE way to kill your love for your favorite band, ehhhh!

Also good stuff: Enya, most celtic stuff, clubby boppy techno, almost everything Muse ever put out, oh and one I bet no one's heard of: Royksopp. They're like... electro-techno-pop. Good stuff!

Snap I forgot about the hair metal, *facepalm* I've definitely ODed on some bands before, but generally after a couple of weeks I'm fine again Here's my favorite power metal

Sonata Arctica
Dragonforce
Kamelot
Hammerfall
Nightwish

I'm not big on Cradle of Filth, they're just...weird. Sweedish Progressive Death Metal is serious win though.

You have three out of five of my favorite bands listed there, heh. So we CAN get along just as long as we're talking about headbanging, lol. I'll have to check out the Swede metal and those two others you mentioned, it's just the satanic stuff where all the lyrics are nothing but growling that kinda turn me off. My ex was into COF and I just didn't get it.
