    My all time favorite band are the Canadian trio, Rush. I've loved then since I was 13 years old and it almost feels like they are old friends. Their music has got me through various difficult situations over the last 25 years and I never tire of their albums.

    Do you have a favorite band at all? Is there one particular musician who you turn to during hard times or someone who you feel really speaks to you?

    My favorite band at the moment is Coldplay. I simply love their music because it gives me a good feeling and helps me to reflect on my life, the things that I have done and where I am at right now. When I am in a particular mood, I will only listen to Coldplay's music.

    I have phases of favorite bands from time to time. It was Coldplay till a while back, Chris Martin is hands down one of my favorite musicians of all time. Recently however I've been hooked on to Poets of the Fall. I love their music, their lyrics and their videos. True to their name I find the band very very poetic. The words in their songs are beautiful and it touches somewhere very deep.

    I'm not so much into bands these days as I used to be years ago. These days, I'm more into new age/healing music...and sometimes choral music or Gregorian chants. There is no specific artist at the moment though that I'm really into.

    I really don't know. Good music for me has to have equally good vocal talent, well written lyrics, good sound, and good instrumentals. Though I could put a lot of bands into this category, I think Muse represents it most accurately. Their official genre is "symphonic rock" which I think describes them quite accurately. They combine both symphonic instruments with traditional rock instruments. Matt Bellamy is quite skilled vocally, as well. He has incredible vocal control and a very wide range. And as far as their lyrics go - let's just say, I wouldn't think a song combining girlfriend troubles and black holes would ever be successful. I would probably criticize it as cheesy and falling just short of metaphoric. But the depth of Muse's lyrics never ceases to amaze me.

    I have a lot of bands that I love so I can't really choose one.
    I grew up and learned to adore AC/DC, Metallica, Iron Maiden and the kind.
    My most favorite band that is playing modern rock is Avenged Sevenfold.
    They all have my respects!

    My favorite band is Maroon 5 as the lead singer of the group is Adam Levine. Although I am a man, I find his voice and looks to be rather sexy. I started listening to his songs at the age of 10 and I have been a fan ever since. If you are looking to hear some of his popular songs, I recommend listening to: "Won't Go Home Without You", "She Will Be Loved" , "Sunday Morning" and some of the newer popular songs like: "Maps" and "Sugar".

    My favorite band is Casting Crowns. The music speaks to the heart. Can't tell you how many times I have needed something and I turn the radio on and they are playing at that moment.

    My favorite band is definitely My Chemical Romance. They've gotten me through a whole lot from 6th grade to now. It killed me when they broke up! But I still listen to them all the time as if nothing happened, along with new stuff each individual member comes up with. I love them! :D

    I would go for Boyce Avenue!

    Such a simple band yet there plays are so great giving the blow-off our ears. Boyce Avenue is a simple yet so powerful rock band. I love the tempo they are using on their music, such mellow that is moving fast.

    I am a christian also and i love the Band of "Hillsong". Hillsong is so wide because it is an international band that has sub-band on every country (not all but most). We have the Hillsong United Album in here and i always look up to their newest song. I love the harmony they give in, there is unity among the voices because mostly back-up voices comes from a choir. Hillsong is great that inspires many nations.

    My favorite singer and band is called Thalia! For me, She is my favorite singer, band, treasure and everything good. I love her musics since my teenager age and I always love her music, her as an amazing human being and everything related to her. In the past, She was part of a mexican band called Timbiriche. Today, She sings alone and have the cooperation of an amazing team musicians. She is not just an amazing singer, but is an amazing human being, wife, mother, daughter, sister, friend, etc... I will have the opportunity to meet her in person in the future and show her how much I love her and her work. After more than 15 years loving Thalia, what I can say , my love for her will remain the same for the rest of my life.
