I'm mostly on the 20 meter band myself. There's an active packet community on 14.105 LSB.

Wu-Tang is for the children lemmings.

The Roots (first four albums especially)

Godspeed You! Black Emperor / A Sliver Mt. Zion

Portishead, Massive Attack

System of a Down

King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard because they are carrying all of the genres

Ween

Opeth, although I don’t love their more recent drift away from death metal (dear god it’s been a decade now). I’ve really loved Cattle Decapitation’s newer stuff, too.

Oh and I second the guy declaring that Wu Tang is for the Children

Overall? Between the Buried and Me

By genre?

Black Metal - White Ward (Slavs Ukraini!), Ihsahn

Death - First Fragment, Ulcerate

Instrumental - Animals as Leaders, CHON

(Post-)Hardcore - The Fall of Troy

Progressive (that isn't BTBAM) - Protest the Hero, Ne Obliviscaris

Dream Theater

Probably Sungazer but Polyphia and Casiopea are close seconds

King Gizzard and the Wizard Lizard. Their live shows kick ass and they've got such amazing chemistry together. Love listening to them jam.

evanescence. I've loved Amy since i was a teenager.

Dumbfounded dipshit, checking in!

Tool

They Might Be Giants

King Crimson is the official answer.

But I put Tool, Meshuggah, Between the Buried and Me, and maybe Karnivool in second place.

jethro tull. Since I was small.

The Presidents Of The United States Of America.

Silly lyrics about bugs and serious rock. What's not to like?

It's hard to pick one between ELO, Jamiroquai, the Bee Gees and Linkin Park.

So many favourite bands. Soilwork, Dream Theatre, Decapitated, Fear Factory.

Coheed and Cambria

If I had to pick one, I'd have to pick The Clash.

Alestorm! It has everything, drunk pirates, silly pirates, horny pirates, bloodlusting pirates and pizza, for reasons I guess.

Daft Punk

Circa Survive.

E: Anthony Green has such an emotive voice, especially on Juturna and my personal favorite album On Letting Go.

Vulfpeck

The Tragically Hip.

Thank You Scientist! More rock bands need horns.

Between the Buried and Me is one of my favorites, as is Parkway Drive recently. Other top artists are ones like gloryhammer, Amararanthe, and Alestorm. Outside of metal, bands like Supercommuter/Optimus Rhyme, MC Frontalot, mc chris, and Captain Dan tend to be my most played

One of my favorite random artists I've found recently is Anthony Vincent who makes songs covers in the style of other artists, and I just can't get enough of Mr Brightside by A7X

Jethro Tull Iron Maiden Opeth Primus

Between those I cannot decide.

Favorite bands by studio albums? Depends on mood:

• The Magnetic Fields / Stephin Merritt's other projects

• Lifter Puller / Craig Finn's other projects

• Nineteen Forty-Five / 3 Finger Cowboy / the members' other projects

• 100 gecs

Favorite band for live shows?

• Aleks & the Drummer (sadly defunct)

Favorite new artist?

• Amélie Farren

Exodus.

NOFX

Dark tranquility 🤘

Godspeed You! Black Emperor and Silver Mt Zion

Love

Of course it's kind of a situational thing, favorite band can be different depending in when it's asked but I think Love has been the one band I never take a break from listening to and never get tired of.
Talking Heads is a very close second, and then many many more close third.
I really want to start sharing music more, but I have to find good ways to share the playlists I make.

At the moment, Royal Blood

For the past several years, I'd have to say The Bamboos. I love me some good funk.

It's changed over time, but right now I'm digging Yorushika (Japan) and Lola Amour (Philippines).

When I was younger I might've said The Mars Volta or At the Drive-In.

Before that maybe Led Zeppelin
