You're favorite bands?

[Lotus Charming]

I've always wondered this about everyone? Who is your favorite musicians? There can be no limit to your list, if you wish to have more than one go ahead and name them. I myself have several because I cannot pick just one. I'm just curious cause I'm sure all of us have our music that sets our mood when we post. Here's the list of mine:

Symphony X
Rhapsody of Fire
Luca Turilli
Kamelot
Within Temptation
Nightwish
Ayumi Hamasaki
X-Japan
Hyde
L~Arc~En~Ciel
Kwon Boa
Shinedown
Creed
Seether
The Birthday Massacre
Lacuna Coil
Two-Mix
Queen

[Zombzeh Nayt-o!]

Modest Mouse, Muse, Queensryche, Dream Theater, Witness, and Tool/A Perfect Circle. There's probably a dozen I'm forgetting, but that's what's on my mind most of the time.

[Zach Kaiser]

Indeed. You forgot the Black Mages!

[Enigmatic Surrender]

The Agony Scene, Black Sabbath, All That Remains, Judas Priest, AC/DC, The Airborne Toxic Event...lotsa others. >_>

[Lotus Charming]

I found some more that I had hidden somewhere on my hard drive.

Sarah McLachlan
Loreena McKennitt
Journey
Eagles
Bon Jovi
High and MIGHTY Color
Evanescence
Enya
Enigma

Indeed. You forgot the Black Mages!

Although they're an impressive group led by an impressive composer, I scarcely listen the Black Mages for anything outside of inspiration and/or background music (for writing) purposes. It's like that for almost all soundtracks, instrumentals, and the like for me: my number one source of writing inspiration, but not exactly what I go for when listening to music strictly to listen to some music.
