Bands that you love

[AbstractMouse]

Which bands do you really love? Opposed to those that you just like, or don't mind. And what makes you love them so much? I have a couple of bands that I love fiercly, and even get offended when people say they don't like them .

The Smiths, obsessive type love
The Charlatans, make me smile type love
Pavement, sing out loud type love

Manic Street Preachers - Remind me of my misspent youth

There is a small selection of bands who make me all excited when their songs come up on my ipod. They are:

White Stripes

Super Furry Animals

Pixies

Nirvana

Sonic Youth

and Half Man Half Biscuit

[DaDaDa]

The Go Betweens. Neither of them sang particularly well. Their guitar playing was very average. Their early stuff is awkwardly angular, their later stuff borders on MOR. They were the greatest band on earth.

Bye Bye Pride

[ranting]

The White Stripes (never made a song that I can't listen to).
The Pixies
Mudhoney
Big black
The smiths
Echo and the bunnymen (probably the most underrated band on the planet and Will Sargeant is the most underrated guitarist on the planet)
Oh and the Flatmates, just because they are 80s circa C86 girlband bliss.

[HermanMunster]

white stripes, the arctic monkeys, beach boys, t-rex, dr.hook, guns and roses.

and of course the libertines.
