So, what are everyone's favorite bands? My all-time favorite has to be "Rhapsody of Fire", an orchestral metal band from Italy which specializes in Lord of the Rings type lyrics. It even has Christopher Lee narrating!
Two steps from hell or E.S. Posthumus. Im a big fan of epic and yes epic is an official genre. http://youtu.be/jIxas0a-KgM?hd=1&t=49s
Yes, epic is a favorite of mine. Carl Orff is a epic, though he's more classical, and then there are some movie/game soundtracks which are amazing. I'll have to check these bands out!
E.S. Posthumus aint so bad, really like their songs. although Im much more into metal, even though I dont keep myself too any special genre. So I would say Dream Theater is one of my favorites along with Textures. ^^
I dont have a favorite band but I do like music from videogames especially ukrainan or Russian games, AKA former communist countries.
I like Billy Joel, but lately i've been enjoying some Coheed and Cambria. But my favorite song by far, is Promised Land, by Bruce Springsteen. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrKh1zxv_rQ
Breaking Benjamin. Many years ago, I was playing Halo2 at my friend's place when "Blow Me Away" appeared in the middle of the game. I asked who played the song and my bud said Breaking Benjamin. I've been a huge fan of that band ever since, and it has always been my number one favorite band.
I wouldn't be able to decide on just a few favourite bands, but I have some favourite genres: I enjoy some '50s/'60s Rock 'n' Roll, '80s Heavy/Thrash Metal is awesome and I absolutely love Power Metal.
Yeah. Especially when someone asks you to do it. You give them a few names if they insist, then you feel terrible afterwards because at that moment you forgot to mention another favourite. This happens to me often.
