I don't think I even have a favorite. I'm more the sort of person who likes songs moreso than bands or singers.

But lessee. Queen, Scorpions, Dire Straits, Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull, Sonata Arctica, Metallica, Van Halen, Styx, Foreigner, Tajra-era Nightwish, hmm... toss in The Corrs for good measures... to name but a few, not necessarily in that order.

Lets see... In no particular order

Godsmack
Linkin Park
Three Days Grace
Disterbed
Metallica
Bon Jovi
3 Doors Down
The Black Mages (FF Remixes FTW!)

That's all I can think of off the top of my head. There are a number of songs I like other people do but I'd be 50/50 on them as a band or as my favorites.

My favourite band is a less well known band called Kiuas. I've listened to a lot of their music lately and the pure energy in the way they play and sing is incredible. So far my favourite song of theirs is Warrior Soul, and I'm hoping to get one of their albums eventually.

My music is kind of random - meaning I often have one or two songs for a band and that's it... I really find a band/singer who's music I like completely. However, with these three I like most of their music...

Nightwish
Creed
Rammstein

I'm so offended. (Haha, not really.)
Bill's not really much of a Shemale, even with his hair and facial features, but I can see how you're going with that. Although I can't see how a shemale is scary.
(Unless you mean the Rocky Horror Picture Show, lol. I watched it when I was around 6 and the image of Tim Curry's character scared me for months.)

POH!KEMON

Paramore
3OH!3
Pussycat Dolls
Nickelback
Shinedown (only because of Second Chance...)
Daughtry
Linkin Park (so far I've heard only Shadow of the Day...but it's great)

That's all I can think of, but I know I like more...

Probably Paramore would be my favorite band.

I don't get whats so great about them?
My sisters boyfriends old band; A Place Far Away toured along side them... This is before they went mainstream and had Emo boys touching themselves over her. XD
[/quote]

It's not that... It's hard to explain. Normally I'm not into that Emo band stuff, and trust me I'm not emo, or anywhere close. But something about thier music just catches me. I'm not sure what or why it is.

Tough choice....
I guess my #1 would be Eric Clapton, for he did a kickass song when he was with "Derek and the Dominoes" called 'Layla'.
My #2 would be Johnny Cash, God rest his soul, for he came out with several songs I like.
#3 would be Jimmy Buffett, for his wide selection of good songs.
#4 is a very tough choice. I don't know who made it, but I like the song, "Adult Education."
And, lastly, #5. Heart. The songs "Barracuda" and "Crazy on You" are pretty awesome.
