Green Day is the best! The are soooo cool... Then, it's Simple Plan, thant, well, I don't know (but it's not Kane West, Usher, Eminem, Jessica Simposon, 50 Cent, The Killers, Hedley or Black Eyed Peas).

Thanks for voting in this poll!

I voted other because I think Delta Goodrem, The Veronicas, ABBA and The Corrs are the best bands/singers. They heve the best songs like 'Out of the Blue' '4eva' 'Mumma Mia' and 'Forgiven Not Forgotten'.

I voted for other. I am into more retro bands. I just love Beatles, Abba, Queen, Kate Bush, Peter and Gordon, Blondie, B-52s and so many more.

I voted for other as I'm a die-hard fan of Rush. Not the trediest of bands I'll admit, but to keep going for over 30 years and still come up with the goods must stand for something.

Wow, that has to be the greatest mainstream list I've ever seen. If I were to look on itunes' top 100 song list, I'm sure all those bands would be on it.

So I voted other and by my avatar, you could guess my band is Live. They are just amazing, please listen to some of their songs if you haven't. However, their are so many other bands that I could've picked. Second would probably be the RX Bandits (a great ska band.)

I do agree with you though Slain; that Rush is a great band as well. Their drummer (his name escapes me) is definitely the greatest drummer of all time. His solo's in 2112 are incredible.

I voted 'other' because the Backstreet Boys are my absolute favorite group ever. I mean it might be given by my signature, but thought I would reply about it anyways.

I voted other because I think U2, Witness UK, Switchfoot, Coldplay, Bond, Josh Grobin, and Remy Zero have the best music! Witness UK rocks, U2 has such great music, Switchfoot have such tallented band members, Bond cause they have such a different and great sound, Josh Grobin because his voice is so amazing, Coldplay because their song 'Clocks' is so good, and Remy Zero for their song 'Save Me', which is the theme song for my favorite show 'Smallville'!

Finally, someone else who likes Smallville!!!
The best show ever, especially becouse it's about Superman.
Superman rocks!!!

Oh yeah, i voted for "other" becouse Red Hot Chili Peppers are the best band and they make the best music

Who's your favorite character, ile_ramone? Mine's Lex Luther and Clark Kent, of course. It is the best show! Anyway I also like Green Day's 'Wake Me When September Ends'!

Clark Kent for sure, he's mine all-time favourite caracter...

I also like Lois and Lana, but that's probably becouse they are hot...

I wouldn't know, I'm a girl ;) ~ Clark Kent, I think, is really hot, but you wouldn't know, would you?...lol...ttyl!

Okay guys, as much as I like Smallville, you need to stay on topic. There's already a thread on Smallville in the TV and Media section.

I love Avril Lavigne! "Under my Skin" is so awesome! I like every song on that album. Her next is coming out in the spring. Can't wait!

GREEN DAY IS THE MOST AWESOMIST BAND EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MOD EDIT: No netspeak please .They're those in square bracket '[]'. Please avoid them in the future. And please be careful with short posts too. It's not allowed, I'm afraid.

I voted for other because even though I like the Killers my favorite would have to be Coldplay. Well either Coldplay or Fall Out Boy. I like Coldplay because all of their songs are really good and they all have a meaning to them. Fall Out Boy though is just really good.

I voted other beacause even though Green Day and all are just great, they're a little farther down my list of favorites.
I love Coldplay, U2, System of A Down, The White Stripes, The Strokes, Aqualung (Matt Hales), Jason Mraz, James Blunt, the Foo Fighters, The Beatles, Rancid, Pink Floyd, The Bravery, The Killers, Queen and The Ramones. And very many more...

I also like all the chick-pop/r&b from the 90s like Spice Girls and TLC, which I never quite got over. Oddly enough, I never liked boy-bands. I never saw the hype, then again, I've always liked men rather than boys. I also really hate it when guys sing love songs, because I don't think a single bloody one of them means it.

i voted for others coz my best bands r blue n c21 n best singers r shania twain n celine dion
they just rock

Sorry, had to say other...

Keane. Everytime!

They're just fantastic!!! I absolutely love Hopes and Fears, and it's the only album I have that I actually like every single song on it. I Haven't got the DVD yet but I want it, and I'm praying to whatever Gods exist that they bring out another album in the near future.

Keane rock!!! I love Tom Chaplin!!!!

GOOD CHARLOTTE!!!!!!~~CHRONICLES OF LIFE AND DEATH ALL THE WAY!!! They are absolutly osm!!! cant be beat! i love their "live the life u got to the most cuz you'll never know when it might end..." message! green day and avril lavinge and linkin park and my chemical romance all came in at a close 2nd 3rd 4th and 5th though. needless to say im a punk rock chick

Flogging molly here go to this site and listen to them.

Moby.

And he's not even a singer.

And he's not even a band (OK, he's a one-man band).

(And he's not even first-place on my http://www.Last.FM/)

I voted other becuase I absolutely HATE every single artist listed on there. None of them have any talent. Singers with real talent include:

Amy Lee (Evanescence): Very haunting voice, its amazing. You cant tell from anything off Fallen, which really isnt a very good album, but listen to her live, you'll be blown away.

Cristina Scabbia (Lacuna Coil): Beautiful voice, definitely has grown since they first started. She, too, sounds better live.

Tarja Turenen Ex-(Nightwish): Trained opera singer, her voice is incredible. If you think Christina Aguilera is good, wait until you hear Tarja. Unfortunately she got kicked out of Nightwish.

Other bands I like include AFI, Tristania (another extremely talented singer), Marilyn Manson, Nirvana, Led Zeppelin, and Arch Enemy.

I voted other. My favorite band would have to be Guster. Not too many people have heard of them, but they're a great rock band! Play their own instruments, write their own lyrics and great singers.

I voted "other" because the best is Gwen Stefani!! She's really talented but her music is still fun and not try-tohard!! I love her!! but you had some other good suggestions there (sorry if this counts as a one-liner)

I voted Avril, but I have so many like:
The Corrs
Green Day
Gwen Stefani
Coldplay
Natalie Imbruglia
Life House(You and Me )
Some of Eminem
Kelly Clarkson
Black Eyed Peas
Missy Elliot(lose Control)
Freshly Ground(Doo Be Doo)
Bowling for Soup(1985)
Some of Gorillaz
I also like some of the songs from Shrek and I like "The Way You Move"by the Bodyrockers

I think that 1 or 2 of Linken Parks song are good and simple plan as well.Some of ushers are ok.

i guess i would have to say other for this one, although.. i do like usher's yeah and caught up .. =] i absolutely adore james blunt and josh groban! they are such wonderful singers! =] i love james lunt's goodbye my lover and tears and rain .. but of course, i also love you're beautiful .. =] i love josh groban's singing.. he's wonderful! heard of when you say you love me ? it's great! and you raise me up .. it's absolutely gorgeous!! hehe.. aside from those, i am also a big big fan of series two winner of australian idol, anthony callea.. his version of the prayer is stunning!

xoxo*darla

I am going to get gang bashed by all you guys for saying this but....

BEST BANDS/SINGERS:
Evanescence
AC/DC
Within Temptation
Audioslave
Robbie Williams
Ewan McGregor (he can sing as well, though only in movies)
Pink Floyd
Queen
Slipknot
The 12th Man (they aren't singers or a band, but they make a mockery of Cricket (from the Aussie point of view, hence the dry humor)....example.. Pakistanny names "Ramis Rajar" "Halfdozen Marsbars" "Ikeepmateef Inajarbesidedabed" "Jarvegemite Formeandad" Say them out loud....funny as..)

BANDS/SINGERS WHO SHOULD DIE
Hilary Duff
Lindsay Lohan
Simple Plan (make it horrible and painful- like their music)
My Chemical Romance
Avril Lavigne
James Blunt
The Used
Any other crappy emo music
Many....Many more....

hehe

Out of those, I voted for Black Eyed Peas, but my real favorite wasn't listed. I usually listen to Christian Rock and stuff, so my favorite band is probably Hawk Nelson.
I agree with thesolitrayone- I love Queen! And hate Hilary Duff. I'm more of a weird music kind of person. My favorite song right now is Bring 'Em Out by Hawk Nelson so...

I am one of those people who likes tons of songs and tons of singers, and tons of bands. So I chose others. I like "These Boots are Made For Walking" by Jessica Simpson, and I love "We Are All One Drugs"by Weezer. I like "Grillz" by Nelly. I like everything. I don't have favorites.

I see I'm the only one who voted for Eminem Eminem is the BEST!!! But from those I also like Avril Lavigne, the Black Eyed Peas and Green Day and hate Mariah Carey

I see I'm the only one who voted for Eminem Eminem is the BEST!!! But from those I also like Avril Lavigne, the Black Eyed Peas and Green Day and hate Mariah Carey

Heya!
I voted other, because as much as I like Greenday, they're not my favourite band. I do like Greenday though, along with Yellowcard, Fall Out Boy, some Simple Plan and other bands like that.

I voted for Green Day because I'm loved them since I was about nine years old!

But I love lots other bands. Music is a very important part of my life. I've grown up with music on in the house at all times.

The other bands/singers I love:

Christina Aguilara
Evanescence
Fall Out Boy
Flyleaf
From First to Last
Gwen Stefani
Harry and the Potters (hahaha)
Hedley
Jakalope
James Blunt
Kanye West
Madonna
Metric
My Chemical Romance
No Doubt
Our Lady Peace
Panic! At The Disco
The Academy Is...
The Arcade Fire

Green day!! I also like Linkin Park, Simple Plan, Kelly Clarkson, Lee Ryan, Blink 182, Gorillaz, Eminem, Madonna, Offsprings, The Killers.

The Killers is my favourite band!

And I also like Switchfoot, Jet, Nirvana, Kelly Clarkson, etc. There are just too much to mention!

I voted Green Day, they're really good. However, I'm actually into local South African music, mostly rock:

F*k*fpolisiekar (sorry, but that's their name!)
Karen Zoid
Chris Chameleon

The other international bands I like are:

Keane
Kaizer Chiefs
Franz Ferdinand
Seether (former South African band!)
Coldplay
Depeche Mode
System of a Down
3 Doors Down
Abba
Beatles
Beach Boys

Funny list, now that I look at it...

I voted other because my absolute favourite singer is Kelly Clarkson. She's the bomb! But Avrile Lavigne is cool too, she's my second choice.

hmm, a pretty mainstreamed list u got there, names that u always listen to in radio. i'm not that mainstreamed.

BANDS THAT CHANGED MY MUSIC PERSPECTIVE

bands that opened my ears to rock
Linkin Park

opened my ears to metal
System of a Down
Metallica

opened my ears to heavy metal
Slipknot
Mudvayne

opened my ears to emo
My Chemical Romance

opened my ears to grunge rock
Nirvana
Soundgarden
Switchfoot
Lifehouse

THE BEST BANDS

My Chemical Romance (a year and i still listen to them. great emo/rock stuff. you just have to open your mind to them)

Nirvana (started listening to them this year. heard that Dan liked this band, so i gave it a try. it's pretty hard to get used to grunge, but when you do, it doesnt let go. Come As You Are and In Bloom are real great songs, together with Smells Like Teen Spirit) Cobain Lives

Radiohead (THis is WORLD CLASS. my current most favorite band. and of course, thanks to Nirvana for this. i couldnt get off my metal songs last year UNTIL Nirvana pulled me off from metal, then i listen to slower rock like this superband. more than 10 years already in the industry, but still rocks. mix of rock and ballad and blues)


GOOD BANDS

Pixies (another band i plucked out of Dan's faves. real good songs, could have been in my top 3, but i think Nirvana's better. Cobain rocks. It's a good thing that Pixies's back. Hope that they inject some sense to music these days)

Switchfoot (AGAIN, thanks to Nirvana. they released their latest album, Nothing is Sound and the single We Are One Tonight is gripping me right now. it could have been in the top 3, but Nirvana and Radiohead beats off competition.

Green Day (some ppl call this punk, but i think it's post-grunge. there's some similarity to their music with Nirvana's. NIRVANA again. but i didnt discover this band thru them. It's their singles from American Idiot that told me this is a great band. Although good, it cant beat off Nirvana and Radiohead from the top 3.

POTENTIAL BANDS

Fall Out Boy (punk indie. single Dance Dance is really good, but their album isnt the best. it's worth checking out)

Sigur Ros (now this is a new band i discovered thru Switchfoot's iTunes playlist. no vocals needed-they play wonderful music. so beautiful.)

Arcade Fire (grandiose pop/rock. for rock listeners this might sound boring, but i'm a rock listener too. i listen to mudvayne and slipknot even. but i find this album, Funeral, really refreshing. open your minds and give it a try)

okay, that's like a whole playlist of my iTunes. if you think u like the same genres as me (rock) then give these bands a try.

I voted Green Day, because punk's not dead, but there are other bands i like most like Rage against the machine Sex pisto;s, Toy dolls, coldplay, R.E. M, alice in chains etc etc

I thought I was the only one that was going to say Franz Ferdinand, but then I saw Capricorn's post at the last minute! I also like Gorillaz, Queen, Beatles, the Doors, the Spinners, the Who....I'm not into all the band stuff nowadays....I think Green Day is fine, but I think they are just a fad. Everything is just a fad when you think about it though. Good Charlotte annoys me so bad...I am terribly sorry to those who have said they like them...I do not like country or rap. For some reason, I'm more into the 70s 80s music, a lot of it rock and what not. I liked a lot of the 90s music, but it really went downhill when you got closer to the 2000s. Where did all the talent go?

I really like Green Day! THe lyrics are REALLY cool. Billie Joe Armstrong must like to read poetry. I like Ashlee Simpson, Avril LAvigne, My Chemical romance too.

Well, all the people atht you had selected to vote for are new age. What about the classic muscians that have been around for a decade or two and still know how to pack an audience? Maybe you are to young to know about any of the people I am talking about, for example: The Rolling Stones, Aerosmith, Fleetwood Mac,....etc.
