Top 5 bands period.


Recommended Posts

1. Fifteen

2.Jawbreaker

3. Elliott

4. Rancid/Weston

5. Born To Loose

What are yours. I personally think this is very hard to put together. I had a fuck of a time picking these i think i could have changed my 4 and 5 but they are within at least my top 10.

This could be fun. Pick yours.

Nine Inch Nails/Marilyn Manson

it's a toss up between Marilyn Manson and NIN. both had groundbreaking, influential, amazing albums....but kind of let themselves go at some point and have some stinkers too. both put a dent in me though, both can share the spotlight a little.

and here's where the smiting begins...

Brand New

Owen

The Faint

Fall Out Boy

Something Corporate

i enjoyed the +5ish rep while it lasted...

+1 for being real about what you dig. There is no right or wrong list...well, technically they are all "wrong" since everyone has their own opinion. That said, I am digging the variety among people's choices. 8-)

I just thought this and figured it would be worth noting...

When I put a band like Minor Threat is in my top 5, I am thinking them, and the bands that they led to, directly or indirectly, otherwise I could do a top five like this:

1 - The Teen Idles

2 - Minor Threat

3 - Embrace

4 - Fugazi

5 - The Evens

By this "logic", The Ramones lead to SW...OpIvy to Rancid...etc. Either way, choosing 5 is tough business.[/rambling]
