bands you like that don't fit your typical music taste.

[gjbassist]

I'm curious what bands/artists people like outside of the normal music you listen to. For example I'm a classic rock and modern blues guy. Rush, Zeppelin, ZZ Top, SRV, Clapton, etc. Lately I have been getting into some newer bands thanks to my teen age son and Guitar Hero. A couple of his favorites, Fall Out Boy and Paramore are starting to grow on me. So what do you people like outside the norm?

[JimmyM]

My tastes are so all over the map that I can find acts in pretty much any genre that I like.

[Craig_S]

Vampire Weekend. Really different stuff, there. I'm a classic pop and rocker with tastes into today's rock and some pop.

[John Bigboote]

The Offspring. Thinking man's thrash. That style generally ain't me at all, but I think they're fooking brilliant.

80s thrash is what my roots are in. I love Mindy Smith though.

[Passinwind]

The Captain and Tennille
Starland Vocal Band
Boxcar Willie
Dillinger Escape Plan
Ivo Papasov's Wedding Band
Shagnia Twain
Kenny G (OK, I'm lying about that one)

[MadMan118]

For me its usually metalcore galore. But I seem to have a thing for sounds like Death Cab For Cutie and The Postal Service.

[WHughes]

maroon five is my guilty pleasure. Dont tell the dudes in my band.

[baalroo]

I'm in the same boat as Jimmy, but also agree about Paramore. Great band.

[IconBasser]

Muse.

Im typically a metalcore/metal guy, but i love RHCP. I also am growing more fond of Paramore, The Offspring, and (some other band). I also enjoy occasionally grooving to Come On, Come Over
