Single favorite musician (not a whole band)

[smo_go1]

mine is ryan martinie, the bassist of mudvayne :)

[ReverseBearTrapsAreHott]

Guilty pleasure: Michelle Branch...and also Nelly Furtado. I like her old stuff better than her new stuff though...oh, and I like Avril Lavigne too. Shut up. ....and Gwen Stefani DX

I LOVE The Rocket Summer. It's just one guy.

I'm also a fan of Ani DiFranco

[You]

Bruce Springsteen

[Makenna]

Imogen Heap

[jIgSaW2112]

John Petrucci...guitarist from Dream Theater

[DOJ]

Cliff Burton (Metallica's bassist on Kill 'Em All, Ride The Lightning and Master Of Puppets), Rest in Peace :(

[DOJ]

I think I love you haha holy freakin crap he is a goddd.. ahh.. his death is the only reason Metallica went the way it did..


I personally enjoy all of Metallica's work except for St. Anger but I agree that they definitely weren't the same after he died :(

[DOJ]

I don't think Metallica ever "sold out" (and I personally love The Black Album, after AJFA and MOP it's my third favorite Metallica album), but they definitely lack the energy and passion they had all those years ago, and if you go on YouTube and watch videos of recent performances they've given, they're just not what they used to be and they don't even seem to enjoy playing that much anymore. They may have went much more mainstream with The Black Album but at least they still had the passion and still made quality music, Load and Reload were decent but St. Anger was just awful. Hopefully the next album will be much better and on par with the first five albums.

[DOJ]

To Live Is To Die always makes me cry, hands down one of the saddest songs ever :(

The Black Album has a lot of cool songs on it, not just the singles. The Struggle Within, Of Wolf And Man, Through The Never and Holier Than Thou are awesome and up there with any of the thrash-era material. But AJFA will always be my favorite, so much raw intensity and anger in that album. My favorite song of their's is Disposable Heroes but they have so many gems. I definitely miss the old Metallica from the Kill 'Em All through Black Album era.

[MakeYourChoice]

Freddie Mercury is easily my favourite musician ever. My mum has always liked Queen, and I was pretty much brought up listening to them. I started really appreciating their music when I was about 13, and Freddie's voice just blows me away every time.

[Tehdude]

Do I have to say it?
Geddy Lee. He plays bass, hits floor pedals(live, anyways), and plays synth. While singing. He sings while playing stuff a lot of bass players can't even do normally(I think "circumstances" is a good example)

and lately I've been impressed by Cliff Burton, after hearing "Anesthesia(Pulling Teeth)". There was probably nothing left of his bass after playing that song.

[countess_von_neverland]

Imogen HeapI agree! :cool:

[Dr_Gonzo]

BOB DYLAN! BOB DYLAN! BOB DYLAN! But, seriously... BOB DYLAN!


Ron Burgundy said it best... "If you don't think he is the greastest, I will fight you."

Thank you)) Being her fan for five years and still can't get enough with this insane redhead woman))

[Mrs. Jigsaw]

I've been a Tori freak since I was about 15, so for 10 years now. I've only seen her in concert once, though. :(

[Tehdude]

Chris Cornell.
I can't believe I missed Cornell. I second this. His work now with Audioslave isn't the best, but there are a few gems. "Broken City", "Cochise", "Last Remaining Light", and their cover of "Super Stupid" are some of my favorites.

[badboot]

I have never seen her on concert. She will be on tour since May 2007, so I'll do my best to see her finally))

He is great! I like all his projects. Sneaker Pimps are great, songs like Spin Spin Sugar and Flowers and Silence and M' aidez and many others are stuck in my head)) And IAMX is one of my favorite bands, so I totally agree with you, Chris is absolutely amazing))

[countess_von_neverland]
