top 5 NON-jrock bands

[Kame]

I was suddenly just struck with this really strong curiosity (sorry to rip off your thread, Kazuo) what else is everyone else here listening to?

I guess I don't really listen to much else and I'd really like to diversify my winamp playlist, but I just can't seem to find a gateway to any good western music. Anway, digging through my old CDs, I've found that bands I still like are (in no particular order)

1)Garbage
2)Evanesence
3)matchbox twenty
4)Radiohead
5)Soundgarden

EDIT: Pffft... silly me forget to consider Sarah Brightman and Loreena Mckennit while making out that list, oh well

 

[CookieMoses]

1. Marilyn Manson
2. Scissor Sisters
3. Massive Attack
4. Deadsy
5. lunarclick

I love my musical tastes!

3) Apoptygma Berzerk
4) Nancy Sinatra

1) Howard Jones
2) Beatles (George Harrison being fav)
3) Thomas Dolby
4)Gary Numan
5)The Smiths/Morressey

And trust me I can go on and on and on and on

I actually don't listen to alot of Jrock. Its a bit of a fluke that Kozi/MM is in my top 3

 

[Asphodel]

1.Manic street preachers
2.Placebo
3.Mylène Farmer
4.London after Midnight
5.Raphaël (a french singer)

and tons of more uk groups like Suede/Pulp/Marion and so on....

 

[Wolfgar the Great]

In no order:

Rush (In means of musical insturment skills, one of the most talented bands EVER. Geddy Lee: One of my favorite bassists, don't think anyone else could play the stuff he does and sing at the same time. Neil Peart: Defiantly my favorite drummer. Most amazing. Alex Lifeson: Great guitar work. <3)

Primus (Les Claypools bass playing is orgasmic. Tim Alexander is a cool drummer too. Love their whacky bass driven music. <3)

Nightwish (One of my first ventures into the metal genre. Love Tarja's voice. <3)

Atmosphere (Love Slug, great rapper. Love his rhymes. Love Ant's beats. Underground rap. <3 Puts on a fun live show)

The Vandals (Funny, catchy, punk music. They put on a very entertaining, funny, live show. Very nice guys.)

Misfits (Danzig-era Misfits was the best, but I don't mind Graves, or even Jerry Only singing. Tho Jerry is a jack ass, I still love the music. Danzig had a great voice. Simple, catchy, songs with b movie plots.)

 

[Alita]

1. Evanescence
2. Within Temptation
3. L'Ame Immortelle
4. Queen
5. Falco
