Favourite band

Well this is my first thread starter! I looked and couldnt see but I hope it hasnt been asked before!

What is favourite band of all time? What are you favourite songs by them and why them over everyone else?

I'll start by saying my favourite band is Queen! Much before my time but I got into it by my parents who play there music all the time!

I've watched their live performances on dvd and cant believe how amazing they were. Freddie Mercury was such a performer!

My fav tracks have to be "Somebody to Love"; "Innuendo" and "Who wants to live forever". The lyrics are beautiful and the guitars sing out with an amazing sound.

I lose myself in their music; its timeless and brilliant. I love bands like Coldplay and Muse now but I cant compare them because I dont know if 20 / 30 years down the line people will listen to them like they do Queen now.

I think the best band of all time will be U2, there music is ageless and they are still going.

my music is so dam good i love em all so i aint got no favourite cus i love em all and if ya wonderin wat i love so much it is reggae. so there you have it .

I'm sure you are all aware that my favorite band of all time is those nutty boys called Madness. I have enjoyed their brand of music since i first saw them performing 'The Prince' on TOTP. My favorite song by them has to be the cover they done in 1981 of Labi Siffre's 'It Must Be Love'. I also like most music from the 1980's as i grew up with it. I listen now to bands like the kaiser chiefs, the hoosiers, the kooks, razorlight, the fratelis but none of them will ever be in my humble opinion as good as Madness.

i agree with queen being the best rock band of all time
beatles were the best pop band
in my day my favourite band were the red hot chilli peppers

i really cant pick a band now that stands out for me
my music taste is so wide and varied that i will listen to anything that has a decent beat

but i detest westlife and all those other bands that make a living butchering other peoples songs

To be honest, I like rock music. Love Metallica, especially some of their new songs really mean something to me.

But I'm fairly open-minded with music, listen to anything with pure meaning
