    Rush. Love the 70s and 80s eras especially, but it’s like having several favorite bands to choose from! If I’m in the mood for synths I’ll put on Signals, or if I want something heavier I’ll play the self-titled album. I literally never get sick of their songs though.

      I only got into Rush as an adult, but I spent probably 1-2 years listening to almost nothing but Rush. Hemispheres definitely came out my favorite in the end, but I really enjoy most of it ( Though I could take-or-leave some of their later stuff, especially Presto which is just produced weird and tinny.)

      I was never as into Ween as some of my friends were, but The Mollusk is a masterpiece IMO.

      It’s kinda like Mr Bungle - California. If you can casually make an album of pop music that good, you have my eternal respect, even if I never fully get into the less approachable work.

        The Mollusk is amazing. Not really explored any of their other work because I don’t want to be disappointed that it doesn’t live up to the brilliance of The Mollusk.

          Imo most of their music sucks bigtime. Some people like it, idk what they see in it.

          But yes, The Mollusk is a masterpiece.

        While Chester was one of kind - I really like Emily Armstrong. I saw them live a few months ago and she put on a SHOW. I got worried when the first few songs she was getting the crowd to sing most of the lyrics for the old Chester stuff, but then she let it rip for the second half and fucking tore the place down.

          I saw them in Vancouver last year too.

          I think she’s perfect on the new music but her singing the old stuff just isn’t there yet.

          Which is fair, she will improve on that but I think she just needs more of her own music before she will get a fair response from the crowd. Which is just a matter of time so this isn’t even a complaint

    King Crimson is the official answer.

    But I put Tool, Meshuggah, Between the Buried and Me, and maybe Karnivool in second place.

      Have you heard the stuff that Fripp and Eno did together? “Heavenly Music Corporation”. It’s heavy.

        Did you get some wires crossed here? After looking it up HMC is electronic music by a guy named Kim Cascone. The group you seem to reference is simply Fripp & Eno.

        I’m going to check out both anyway, so thanks!

        No. There’s a whole lot of Fripp outside of KC that I really haven’t even dipped my toes into. Maybe I will give this a listen.

    Love

    Of course it’s kind of a situational thing, favorite band can be different depending in when it’s asked but I think Love has been the one band I never take a break from listening to and never get tired of.
    Talking Heads is a very close second, and then many many more close third.
    I really want to start sharing music more, but I have to find good ways to share the playlists I make.
