Favorite Music Artist?

Who is your favorite music artist of all time? Share!

I have been an Eminem fan since he struck the stage big in 1997-1998. I have the following albums/mixtapes by him on my Itunes.

anger management 3
before the relapse mixtape
chemical warfare
the re-up
the eminem show
encore
infinite
invasion mixtape
king mathers mixtape
marshall mathers lp
relapse
relapse:refill
sirius bizzness mixtape
slim shady lp

8 mile soundtrack

Not to mention a few songs that are other artists featuring Eminem, and a few underground old school songs with no albums. I have total 180 songs with Eminem. Who do you like?!

TOOL

Maynard James Keenan hit the scene in 1986 with a band called TexA.N.S. but back then he was a bass player :3 In 86/87 he had a band called Children of the Anachronistic Dynasty that released a couple of albums but still didn't get quite that recognized.
Now, in 1993, with the release of Undertow with his new band TOOL, he was on his way to absolute f*****g stardom. He's released 4 (5 counting Salival, and 6 counting the demo tape 72826) Anyway, this guy's got a $#@*&# brilliant mind and brilliant connections, and far out music.

That's who my favorite music artist is of all time

Rush motherfucker, YEA

Oh, BTW Pun, Rush is also Canadian, but I'm sure you already knew that

I only wish (ya ya, everyone can't be a musician) that more of my EXG mates, were accomplished musicians, so that beyond the whole, "Rush, who's RUSH", or "Weren't they big in the 90's" things aside, true understanding, and respect could be given to them. Anyone who drums, knows how hard it is to play Peart. How mad his timings are, how crazy the time signatures are, and as a band, how utterly complex every single song they do is. Beyond that (there is a 1137 DVD out on this), how interconnected, and timing sensitive every one of their live songs is/are. To do, what they do, live, no click track, is beyond amazing.

Rush is a fantastic band, I'll give it to them. But Tool has tougher time signatures and better songs overall. Better quality music :\

Yes indeed... They keep making it back into my car even though I've listened to their newest album like 50 times.

Constantly changing, so it's a tough one...

Always used to be In Flames, but their newer material is too average. Old stuff is amazing:

I've been an AFI fan for as long as I can remember as well, but once again, new material is very dissapointing:

Recently, I've gone on a search to start looking into other bands since all my favorites seem to be releasing really crappy stuff, so my favorite would be among a few:

Woods of Ypres:

Ensiferum:

Damn Matt! Lol. I used to listen to a lot of All That Remains, Phil Labonte is a beast. I liked The Fall of Ideals a lot more than Overcome, although Overcome was quite good. As for In Flames, I love love loved them as well, it's too bad that Jesper left, he was a sweet as guitarist.
