From what I have seen, it seems like the people with a favorite band are the ones that own 2 cds. Nothing wrong with that, I was just pointing something out.

I have seen this too. Don't bag on someone for stating their observation.</p>
<p>HOW COULD I FORGET MICHAEL JACKSON!!!!!! Shame, shame on me.</p>
<p>"Say what you want about the scandal, but the music is scandal proof."

<p>Yes, I know that quote was about R. Kelly, but it applies to MJ too.</p>

<p>i agree. i think simple man is the best skynyrd song.</p>
<p>bands i can't stand would be linkin park and pretty much any rap group.</p>
<p>I love simple man, but freebird has that kick@ss guitar solo at the end.
I think you gotta throw tuesday's gone in there too.</p>
<p>My turn:</p>
<p>Al DiMeola, AMARAN, Andrew WK, Angra, AVANTASIA, Axenstar, Black Sabbath, BLIND GUARDIAN, CHILDREN OF BODOM, Dark Tranquillity, DARK MOOR, DEF LEPPARD, DRAGONFORCE (good enough to be mentioned twice), Dream Theater, Gamma Ray, Guns'N'Roses, Hammerfall, Helloween, Iced Earth, IRON MAIDEN, Joe Satriani, JUDAS PRIEST, Kamelot, MEGADETH, METALLICA, Mike Campese, MORGANA LEFAY, MOTLEY CRUE, Motorhead, Nevermore, Nightwish, Pantera, Poison, Racer X, RHAPSODY, Scorpions, Slayer, SONATA ARCTICA, Steve Vai, STRATOVARIUS, Symphony X, THERION, WHITESNAKE, Yngwie Malmsteen, Demons & Wizards, Jag Panzer, King Diamond, Testament, Death, Sepultura, Kiss, Kreator, Van Halen, Firehouse, Slaughter, BRAINSTORM, Lost Horizon, Norther, Heavenly, EDGUY, Dionysus, MASTERPLAN, Battlelore, Lacuna Coil, Meduza, Metal Church, Iron Savior...etc</p>

<p>I find Coldplay, Switchfoot, Lifehouse, Incubus, Linkin Park, and The Used oh-so-awesome. :)</p>
<p>IndianKid: we have such similar tastes in music! </p>
<p>Underoath is my favorite band. Also love Underminded, Anti-Flag, Saosin, Comadre, Letter Kills, Killswitch Engage, The Letters Organize, Day of Contempt, A Wilhelm Scream, From 1st to Last (their older stuff was so much better!), Ambulance! Ambulance!, As I Lay Dying, The Bled, Academy Is..., Panic!, Hot Hot Heat, Ted Leo, Atreyu, Bleed The Dream, Boys Night Out, Comeback Kid, Countdown to Life, Death By Stereo, Funeral For A Friend, Further Seems Forever, Halifax, Handwritten Ammunition, Hidden in Plain View, Hopesfall, Matchbox Romance, My Chemical Romance, Motion City Soundtrack, Plain White T's, Raised Fist, Refused, Rise Against, Sick of It All, Sky Bleeds Red, Story of the Year, Bloc Party, The Strokes, The Hives, Thought Riot, Whatever It Takes, Thrice, Thursday, Today of Days, Trivium, Unbroken, the Vacancy, Veda Skyes, and the Weapon</p>
<p>Sorry! I just looked at iTunes and copied everything I like. I guess it's a lot!</p>
<p>a little late on this, but...</p>
<p>Sinatra, Judy Garland, Nat King Cole, N.E.R.D., Michael Jackson, Mariah Carey, The Beatles, The Stones, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Alicia Keys, and John Mayer.</p>
<p>i know for sure i'm leaving people out. i'm really old school, but i liksten to all types of music (as cliche as that sounds). </p>
<p>and for the person who said that the people who have favorite artists tend to have one or two cds, i'm not sure how you can make that generalization even if you know a few people like that. i'm sure you eat all different types of food, but you have some that you eat more of or prefer over others. myself and mostly everyone else i know has more albums by one artist than by others, but it doesn't mean we limit ourselves.</p>
<p>just my 2 cents.</p>
