Heavy Rock Fans: Who is your all-time favorite heavy band?

[Krokus]

Mine is easy. Fear Factory was simply awesome.....truly sucks that they broke up....Obsolete is my favorite metal album...ever.

 

[Texas_Tickle]

For me that'll be Van Halen and Queen.

 

[guitman69]

Type O Negative!!! Followed closely by Faith No More.

 

[46and2]

Lets see.....

In no particular order:
Tool (opiate and undertow I consider to be heavy albums)
Soulfly
Cryptopsy (getting into the realm of death metal)
Thrice
Faith No More
Mr. Bungle
Canderia
In Flames

 

[Krokus]

Yea..

Canderia Rules....I loved the first Soulfly album, can't stand the other 2.

Pantera was a decent band. They also did the theme music for the Dallas Stars.

I think today's hard rock is the best that's ever been, but I have to give the prize to Metallica, since never have such an excellent group of musicians given their talents to pure hard rock!

 

[Mimi]

Lawd...Disturbed, I think, would get my #1 vote. Followed closely by Godsmack and Papa Roach.

I'd have to say that my favorite hard-rock/metal band would have to be Triumph.

Others I enjoy regularly would include Metallica (black album and previous), Queensryche, Warlock, Y&T, Zebra, and the origianl Black Sabbath.

 

[sole seeker]

RUSH!
followed closely by
JETHRO TULL and
ALAN PARSONS

 

[JoBelle]

Came here to post Triumph,but I see Dave's taken my favorite and made ithis own. 😛 Sneaky tickler-man!

Oddly enough, my favorite thing by them is the Time canon...not very heavy.

Second on my choice list is RUSH. ALways liked them. Enjoy their musicality along with they screech.

[TummyDragon]

Triumph, Dream Theatre, Extreme... and the the power rock band standards of the 70's.. Styx, Boston, Rush, Zepplin, Yes, Kansas,


It that too many "one favorite"? lol

 

[tk86]

Led Zeppelin.

Not only do they have the best body of work but without their existence we wouldn't even be having this discussion.

Being an old timer (40's) I have always been a hugh fan of Alice Cooper. To this day I have not missed a tour that has come through Detroit (30 years). For me there is no one better.

Like guitman69 though I do like Type O Negative and Faith No More (what ever happened to Faith?)
