RUSH

Amazing musicianship, tightness, intriguing lyrics, just to name a few. the complexity and technicality of their music is matched by NO ONE. Neil Peart is the number one rock drummer in the world (its a fact, go look it up), and he also writes the lyrics. Rush makes rock music so much more respectable and intelligent than anyone. plus they are all in their 50's right now and are still touring/putting out new music that is awesome. they've been around for over 30 years, and that is a fantastic achievement in itself. There are only 3 of them, and they make their music sound like there are 5 or 6 of them. All 3 of the guys have to do so much up there, not just playing their main instruments, but playing foot pedals to trigger other parts, playing keyboards/MIDI controllers, and even Neil uses electronic drums to recreate sounds on their albums that would be impossible otherwise.

The Spirit of Radio (from quite a few years ago): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M5g4mQk96Aw

And if you can't stand his voice (you have to learn to love it imo), then here's an instrumental, "Leave That Thing Alone": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNauuexeMz8

thats from 02

sorry the quality is so bad on those

The Sounds Of Animals Fighting

Whats there not to love about this group? With band members from Chiodos, Rx Bandits, Day away, Finch, and the Autumns (Sorry if I forgot a band or two) there is no way they could not be insane! They have released 2 great CD's (The Tiger and the duke & Lover, the lord has left us) and are pretty sweet live with Mark Mcknight painting in the background as a show goes on. Plus with Chris Tsagakis on drums the songs sound even better. (A example would be Technology) Thats why the sounds of animals fighting is my favorite band.

At this very moment though im going to have to say Animal Collective has had alot of plays.

In general though my FAVORITE band is The Arcade Fire. You dont need to argue why, haha their music flows like the ocean.
