I was talking to Trek Boy Chris and if there is already 1 i apologise but i have fun talking about music!!!!!

So i want people to tell me what music they listen to and who they think is the best band in the world!

I want to see what music trekkies like us listen too!

So please tell me! Oh and i have to say that R.E.M are the best because of some young person lol you know who you are!

this doesnt really hit me as trek stuff, but there are several in the mp3 at the minute, maroon5, damian rice, dave matthews band, james blunt, coldplay, oh and i have to say that girl who sings like avril lavigne... just for the vids

pretty sure ur going to get told off for using caps in the title tho! (I should be a mod )

Thanks for heads up didnt know i had caps locks on lol

Perosnally, i love REM. Absolutely fantastic. Just as a query how many of us out there like REM?

I like them there a good band thats been around for a while!

Easy question, Jimi Hendrix is the best.

The master Of guitar ace choice!

there you go Chris lol you find out now!

Can't disagree wth that Smith

from look of it in couple of days you might disagree with poll lol

R.E.M has to be capilitized, btw i think they are a top band. almost as good as U2

Did you vote jig?

no his origonal title was : BEST BAND IN THE WORLD.

hence my comment..

Rush is the best best, IMO.
REM is fine though.

Never heard of rush lol im sooo uncool lol

Bow down to the Pink One

never heard of them myself, might b a young persons band! says the 22 year old!

I don't really spend much time listening to 'popular music' - the only music CD's I have are The Best of Bond, (All the music from the James Bond films) the Lord of the Rings Soundtracks, and a few CD's that my sister gave me!

I listen to the radio on my way to uni, and if i'm not playing a game, I listen to remixes of music from games i've played...I really am sad...

Pink floyd for sure

2nd up, MUSE, as i like there stuff. Especially Feeling Good and New Born.

EDIT-

My interestes change fast but the above are great but in general my other favs would include.

Madness (uk band, House of fun and driving in my car were good )
The irish band erm The Corrs i think, with the three lasses in, as i like one of them
Blues brothers, i know not a proper band but like the band from the movie with jake and elwood (Dan and John) in as vocals. Just bought there new dvd actually.
Darkness is ok i supose, nice emotional music i supose.

So there is a few others i like that are a band and not just 1 singer with some computerized crap lol. Like most of the songs these days have.

It's been along time since I ever heard anyone metion Rush!

But to get back to the topic in question, I find it a difficult one to answer because my tastes are so broad. So I will answer it in a way as that the band appeal to many and have stood up to the sands of time.

So as much as i like REM but I feel many people would not have listend to their stuff before 1990. So I will go for a band that has hits in 4 decades and that has to be U2.

But ask me the question tomorrow and could change my tune

saying that I am listening to the Stooges ( of Iggy Pop fame)which were a very influental band and god knows how many times they have been covered.

So with a few more drinks I could say the Stooges lol

lol great choice im going to see a tribute band of theres play in Hudderstfield hope there good!

I havent herd anyone mention cadain gods Nickelback or Alter bridge! Whats the world comeing to!

forgot about muse. they are awesome. listening to their album full blast on the way home always lifts the mood. highly recommended!

I'd put Muse up there in my favourite list, second behind REM. I'm surprised that so many people haven't heard of them, they've been together for 20 years now

Love muse but as i play bass guitar i tend to be a little green faced ot there bassist coz he is sooooo ace! Muse are good but i still bevlive Nickelback are better (im going to metion them in every post till someone says there ace and not you TBC)

Have you ever tried playing Losing My Relgion on Bass. Sounds damn good

Who out there like Manic Street Preachers?

I have and yes it does!!!!!!!!! But you know what sounds better .........Nickelback! lol

Iron Maiden..... Hendrix was an innovator but is was overated on the speed of his playing. Rush ahs the world best drummer, Neal Peart, R.E.M, is well, I;m kinda neutral toward them. Nickelback, the jury is still out on them in Canada. U2, I hate Bono with a passion, he answers questions that most people arnet asking. His hearts in the right place, but he come off as a major A##H^^LE, and consquently the sight and sound of him sends me into convulsions.

You must not be too familiar with Jimi Hendrix to say that kind of thing... I actually haven't heard much of his recorded stuff, I listen almost entirely to Live music when it comes to hendrix and Led Zeppelin, and that's when he does his best in my opinion. I generally like classic rock, maybe it's because of the guitar. I play guitar and am always interested to hear awesome guitar playing. In modern bands it seems their more interseted in vocals, which is alright sometimes, but I generally don't listen to music to hear people sing.

The best band in the whole for geeks to listen to? Well, that honour would have to go to Rush. Rush is the best geek rock hands down.

Some runners up are as follows:

Yes (for older guys)
Dream Theater
Porcupine Tree (very excellent band)
Marillion.
