I'm not much into bands. I prefer songs over whole bands because there are very few bands that (IMO) are consistantly good. Obviously my very favorites woiuld be the Bands my brother was a part of: though they all released CDs, they remained motown area bands (Detroit, Flint, etc) and only one has gone national and not very big yet. They would be Sweet Teaze (80s),
Sage (Early 90s), Motherload (Mid 90s), and Black Magic Crossing with Hush (Current - National). Also, Troy, lead singer for Sage, has started a new band out of CA called W!CK. It's a goth/metal band and I like them alot.
If I had one favorite band national band (one I think is consistantly good) it would have to be Barenaked Ladies. Also (not a band) I've rewally like almost everything by Wierd Al. My favorite music styles are: musicals, metal and humor.
Weird, huh?
