10 Years Later

[El Santolly]

I'll take rock as anything with r-r-r-rockin' guitars and drums, heh - so in that case, I bring you my favourites/listen to most, not in much of an order past the first;

1. Bruce Springsteen
2. Pink Floyd
3. Sex Pistols
4. Eddie Cochran
5. Misfits
6. Babyshambles
7. The Damned
8. Dead Kennedys
9. System Of A Down
10. Alexisonfire

BTW, the most listened to/favourite genres of mine are Rockabilly and Punk (outside of the obvious, being on a Wu board and all), so most of the stuff I have will likely be in those genres, rock wise, with a good few obvious exceptions.

[hide1998]

No particular order...

Tool
X-Japan
Deftones
Luna Sea
A Perfect Circle
Dir en Grey
Live
Oblivion Dust
The Smashing Pumpkins
FAKE?

Sidenote: Left out solo artists like hide and Prince since, although they do have backing bands, are generally recognized by themselves. Otherwise, both would have made my list.
