The ATK A-Z of ROCK!!!

[Hutch]

Ok, I had an idea about how we all have basic opinions on music, and instead of some boring thread about bands we'd recommend, I thought it would be more interesting to compile an A-Z of ALL members music tastes. More than one band per letter is acceptable (have to be rock bands), all genres of rock accepted. Post and i'll add your suggestions to the list. Post the genre of the artist as well (I'll edit this post as much as necessary). I want all letters , A through to Z (zed). Rock bands only. No singers, as they leap from genre to genre and we end up with Hear'say on the list.

[Hutch]

NO FUCKING SINGLE ARTISTS, BANDS ONLY!

Also can you please post genres......! It just makes life difficult. God like isnt a genre.
Also, they won't be removed as its a list of peoples opinions, and that is your opinion. 1 man does not make a group. Though panic are shit.

[Nicknack]

[Paper Tiger]

Not in my music collection, lol :P

[Isphera]

I know this is a necro. But seeing as it's a sticky, and the last couple of posts haven't been incorporated into the list, I want an admin/mod to add them in. And can we get people contributing to this again, it was quite fun.

[VoX]

I'll have a quick revise of the initial post.

Right, I've added all of Paper Tiger's suggestions, but I cba to put them in exact alphabetical order, it's a mammoth task.

If you want to add more, can you preferably lay it out like Paper T in alphabetical (Dont worry about individual bands, just the first letter) and I'll put them in.

[Chazlene]

the last couple of posts haven't been incorporated into the list, I want an admin/mod to add them in.

Done and done, apart from Paper T's, sorry but there's too many for me to arsed to do. :p

[Isphera]

Billy Idol - Punk Rock
Zeromancer - Industrial

We should have had a rule that you had to post a music video with each entry. Gary would have been there for days :D.

[VoX]

Can people leave a lines space between each letter, makes it a bit easier.

[Vicious Horizon]

Kid Ego - Classic Rock

[Calneon]

Kamelot.

[Chazlene]

Vox, you do know your alphabet right?

Put them in alphabetic order, not just at the bottom of each list.

[VoX]

That's allot of work though lol.

[Calneon]

Sonic Syndicate.

[D_K_Head]

ohh... never noticed this

Bon Jovi, Boston, Aerosmith, The Eagles, Meatloaf... nice rock stuff.

[Isphera]

As in the warcraft thread, can you guys use the format of the list so it's easier to copy it over.

e.g.

Band A - Genre
Band B - Genre

etc.

[Calneon]

Genre means shit to me. I guess they are Metal going by the .mp3 tags. One album has Melodic Death Metal, another has Heavy Metal, the other just Metal. Load of balls IMO.

Sonic Syndicate - Metal

[Isphera]

If you have trouble with working out Genre, try looking the band up on wikipedia, they often have the genre of the group in the description.

[Vicious Horizon]

Powerman 5000 - Industrial Metal

(Necro Powa!)

Awesome 'song' but I can't get it anywhere, and I don't want to download it from YouTube.

[Vicious Horizon]

Afraid of the FBI are we, Phantom? xD

Reminds me of the sort of stuff that's on EVE..

[Calneon]

Afraid of the FBI are we, Phantom? xD

No....

You try searching for a torrent for that album with any seeders.

EDIT: Nevermind, found one.

[Vicious Horizon]

Actually, I meant about the not downloading from youtube comment.
