Favourite Bands?

So, who's your favourite? I'll be very interested to see the similarity, and/or differences between members as I believe we all have a somewhat similar taste in a general music, then it stems out into different directions from there.

Co & Ca is one i really like too, but wouldn't consider them one of my favorites, the only album i have is IV, but it's SOLID.

the first two albums are easily their best.

I really like Josh Eppards style. He puts alot of energy into his performance.

yeah, i feel like chris pennie just doesn't jam as well, he's almost too machine like if that makes any sense.

That's EXACTLY what I thought.

Probably Graduation. I like Late Registration too, but I think Graduation tops it by a bit.

that's kind of how i feel, i don't have college dropout, 808s is just totally different, i like it, but it's no graduation.

808 was well produced.

Yeah, 808's is definitely a great album, it just get's pretty boring/repetitive fast, at least for me.

yeah, it's great, and i really like it, it's just different than his other stuff.

John Mayer
John Mayer trio
RHCP
kings of leon
mocean worker
30 seconds to mars
Jason Mraz
The Meters

Is is weird to have almost all my favourite bands names starting with 'J'?

not really.

Yes.

I knew it!
