Ten Random Bands: Which of these bands do you like the most?

Alice in Chains

I haven't heard all of them, but here we go:

Explosions in the Sky - Really good stuff. Not something I listen to all the time, but I have a couple records and I'm glad I do. Very good for a specific mood.

Alice In Chains - They were my favorite band for like 3 years when they first hit. My tastes have kind of shifted, but I still enjoy checking out some Facelift or Dirt every so often. Good stuff.

Meshuggah - have not heard them

Built to Spill - Top 5 favorite for me. I absolutely love them, and if you ever get the chance to catch them live, take it. They put on a really great show. Also, not sure if you're new to them (you mentioned since you got to R&P), but Doug Martsch has a solo record that I enjoy a lot too. Mostly acoustic, really interesting stuff.

Mr. Bungle - I had the first record and enjoyed it a lot. I lost it and got nostalgic from talking about Faith No More recently and picked up a couple tracks that I really remembered fondly (on a budget) and was really happy I did. Very cool, creative act. I love Quote Unquote.

Liquid Tension Experiment - haven't heard them, but they have a really interesting name.

APC - I've heard a couple tracks and they're ok. Not so much my thing, but I can appreciate where they are coming from. Good band for sure.

Orbital - I know I heard some of their stuff back in the day, but I can't really remember what was them and what was other stuff.

Massive Attack - Actually, you've just reminded me that I meant to get some Tricky a couple months ago and kind of put it on the back burner without thinking about it. I should do that. I have Mezzanine and Blue Lines and think they're good when I'm in the right mood. There is a perfect mood with me for that stuff, unfortunately it's just a lot rarer that I'm in it these days. Really good stuff though.

Saxon Shore - Haven't heard them.

The Simple Minds- Down To the Waterfront (not sure of title) The J Geils Band- Give It To Me Dokken- Alone Again Skid Row- Piece Of Me John Cougar Mellencamp- Pink Houses Billy Squier- Everybody Wants You Sammy Hagar-Heavy Metal or Three Lock Box Saga-On the Loose (only song I've ever heard by them!) Alice Cooper- No More Mr Nice Guy Bob Seger- Feel Like A Number

If I had to pick just one I'd go with Explosions in the Sky.
