I'm guessing, as you're all here, that New Model Army are one of your favourite bands, but I'm curious as to whether they're your #1 favourite, or whether that spot is taken by another band or artist.
(I searched the forum for a similar topic and couldn't find it directly, so apologies if this has already been asked!)
For me, New Model Army are firmly in the #1 spot and have been for about three years. I have many other favourites, but somehow none of them fulfil me in quite the way that NMA do.
Other favourites of mine include:
Killing Joke
Skunk Anansie
Therapy?
Metallica
Rammstein
Tori Amos
Peter Gabriel
Kate Bush
Kate Miller-Heidke
I'm pretty big on heavier music nowadays, but as a teenager I mostly listened to softer, offbeat stuff like Kate Bush, Tori Amos, Peter Gabriel etc and will always love them dearly even though the majority of my listening nowadays is much heavier stuff. Just curious to see what you all love, and where your love of NMA came from!
:)
-
The Stranglers
-
Where to start!!
Madball, ICP and Volbeat are current faves. Previously Del Amitri, Radiohead, Rammstein, Ocean Colour Scene. Thats only the tip of it off the top of my hea.
NMA have been one constant fave for years.

It`s now so easy to follow a band, that doesn`t exist today and split many years ago, some of the members are dead, only the record company owning the rights or the inherit and tray to make some money (or perhaps fight against each other - Zappa?)
I buy a cd (if I have only an old lp), and sometimes some rare stuff (I couldn`t buy earlier because lack of money or I couldn`t find it here), but most of the new offers of old never released stuff is only made to make money and a disappointment ...
-
NMA is my favourite band, yes. I would put that down to longevity. There have been other bands in the past who I would have said were one of my favourites, but the short list has always included NMA. None of my other favourite bands have delivered as many albums to keep them up there.
Who knows, if Nirvana did not end the way it did, and carried on with follow up great albums, maybe they would be a rival, but beyond all the personal attachment to the band I feel, and a band I go to see, there has been a constant stream of fine quality albums, and still hopefully more to come.
Most of my other favourite bands are long gone. Doors, Hendrix, Pistols, Nirvana, Generation-X, etc. etc.
-
There are some other names which have mattered always a lot to me, as well as the NMA:
Bill Laswell
Jah Wobble
Dead Can Dance
Godflesh
The Panacea
Painkiller
Damned
UK Subs
Disorder
Coroner
Voivod
Also, I like to listen a lot to:
Kimmo Pohjonen
John Zorn
CMX
Swans
NoMeansNo
Fugazi
Doom
E.N.T.
Martyrdöd
Master
Scorn
Fields of Nephilim
Discharge
WatchTower
Mekong Delta
Infekcja
Hiatus
Anhrefn
Schwartzeneggar
Oi Polloi
Angelic Upstarts
...and the list goes on.
-
New Model Army, Manic Street Preachers, Alice Cooper, Stranglers, Queensryche, Springsteen, Gaslight Anthem, Kinesis just off the top of my head and without mentioning the mighty Clash!
-
.yep NMA are my #1
By a long way too
I like loads of other stuff, was into goth at uni and nowadays also love:
Gogol bordello
Pixies and black Francis
Chameleons
The church
Hugh cornwell
Bloc party
Sonic boom six
Gaz brookfield
To name just some old and new
What I realised was as I dropped off the Neph, Sisters, Mish, play dead, xmal, living in Texas, cocteaus, Bauhaus, cure etc the one band i kept buying and continuing to like was NMA
I believe there is simply no one like em
Hv seen bands like the damned and dickies in recent years and they are great retro nights reliving some memory lane hits, but NMA keep delivering new stuff as good as if not better in some ways than the old stuff
Long may it and they continue to do so
That's why I am packing in as many gigs as poss while it does, as for me this is the best time ever to be a fan of the band
-
Katy Perry is my new No1. My eyes have been opened...
:)
-
I'm sure it's no surprise to anyone that yes NMA are my favourite band. Nobody has spoken to me in the same way as their music does for such a long time and in so many ways - 26 years and counting for me. Yes that's a personal thing and means nothing in the grand scale of things but it's what touches me.
I could quite easily list out shed loads of other bands that I like but very few that come close to the feelings that this lot evoke. But these are the few that do/did come close:
The Smiths
The Cure
James
REM
:-*
-
I also listen to lots of new(ish) music too:
Alvvays
La Roux
Local natives
Memory tapes
Mystery jets
Rozi Plain
Sam Amidon
St. Vincent
Diagrams
-
It's been great to read all these so far - and many of you have reminded me of bands I ought to listen to a bit more often! Funny thing about NMA, being pretty much uncategorisable, is that the fans seem to get there via all different types of music.
Love it!
-
Along with NMA I'm also very keen on the following:
Pantera
Down
Dropkick Murphys
The Clash
Oceansize
Supersuckers
Therapy?
Scroobius Pip
Old Crow Medicine Show
William Elliot Whitmore
Uncle Acid And The Deadbeats
Carter USM
Buck Satan And The 666 Shooters
The Donnas
Guns N' Roses
Kyuss
Hallucinogen
Ministry
The Proclaimers
Raging Speedhorn
Pink Floyd
Slayer
The Sisters Of Mercy
There are others....!
-
Good God, where to start..? :o
OK... NMA will always be my number one. A joint second would be Manic Street Preachers or The Smiths. I'm fairly certain of that.
After that... jeez. Bowie's gotta be in there, such a diverse musical landscape, quite a few lows but so many highs in so many diverse genres of music. But 'Quadrophenia', by The Who, is one of my fave albums ever, so they've gotta be in there somewhere...
The likes of Carter USM, Stone Roses, Inspiral Carpets, Curve... songs that take me back to my early 20's / late teen years and always put a smile in my heart... but before that it was Bryan Adams, Springsteen, Queen, not acts I would necessarily love today if I heard them for the first time (though Springsteen has been putting out some good stuff over the last few years), But they've got a place in my heart...
In recent years, The Killers, The Gaslight Anthem, Lacuna Coil, Florence And The Machine... (this is getting a bit long)...
What about the indie / pop brilliance of The Housemartins or the genius heaviness of Machine Head or Rammstein? Completely different bands, but I love them equally... and that's without the 'classic' acts that I'm trying to get up to date with because it feels like there's a gap in my music education if I don't...
Yes, the NMA boys will always be my number one act, but for me, listening to one type of music is like only eating one kind of food... depends what you're hungry for on that particular occasion...
:-\

That quote sums it up perfectly!
-
I have a very broad taste in music. I do seem to be the only one here with a strong Goth background though.
-
In no order.....
NMA
Nephilim
Big Black
Sisters of Mercy ish
Damned
Christian Death (really!)
Creaming Jesus
Xmal D
Skeletal Family
Adam and the Antz
plus any goth 7" vinyl I can find :)
Oh and I also have a thing for the Breaking Glass OST LP....weird!
-
Please tell me you mean the Rozz Williams Christian Death!
-

Bever, there are some actually but they seem not to be active right now on these days. At least I remember there's a guy called originalgoth who posts at times. And others too for sure. :)
-
Nephilim
You mean The Fields, not the Nefilim? There was this heavier version with the same singer you know. Do you know did they really do only one album after the Fields?
-
Actually, I rather like Valor's C Death Bever! ::) lol ;D ;D
and if I'd have meant Nefilim I'd have put Nefilim Rusco. You have seen my name on here, right? ;D Most of what occurred after 91' is all a bit suspect but I still like it, though not as much. Didn't stop me buying a WLTP of Fallen the other night however. Oh, the shame! :-[
-
I think the Zoon was also a good album at some points. However, the sound was a way too thin compared to the Fields. It laid a bit too much on sawing riffs and double bass drums. But I like the album too.
From Fields my fave album is the Earth Inferno live.
-
Actually, I rather like Valor's C Death Bever! ::) lol ;D ;D
Vade retro Satana!
-
I`m too old to be a goth fan, but I have no problems to listen to goth music :)
-
Mmmmh, that's a difficult one...
New Model Army or Wovenhand or New Model Army or Wovenhand or New Model Army or Wovenhand or New Model Army or Wovenhand or New Model Army or Wovenhand or New Model Army or Wovenhand or New Model Army or Wovenhand or New Model Army or Wovenhand or New Model Army or Wovenhand or New Model Army or Wovenhand or New Model Army or Wovenhand or New Model Army or Wovenhand or New Model Army or Wovenhand or New Model Army or Wovenhand or New Model Army or Wovenhand or New Model Army or Wovenhand...
If WH did tour Germany as much as NMA, we'd definitely follow them around too, right lotus?
Apart from WH and 16 Horsepower I quite like
Therapy?
The Who
The Black Angels
Asin Dub Founfdation
A Place to Bury Strangers
Frontline Assembly
Manu Chao / Mano Negra
The Doors
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
Bauhaus
Einstürzende Neubauten
Inchtabokatables / Grüßaugust
Jay Munly
Nick Cave
Tea Party
Zion Train
...and many more...
-
Yes, NMA and WH, let`ts follow both, but NMA or WH - not sure - let`s dicuss it tomorrow ;D
-
Quick mention for Elbow as well. Went watching them in Manchester last night. Brilliant. Bit softer than most stuff I listen to, but close in feel to NBTS in some instances.
-
Einsturzende Neubauten, Manu Chao/Mano Negra, Bauhaus, Asian Dub Foundation and Nick Cave are great bands/artists.
-
Therapy?
Leatherface
slf
manic street preachers
him
nirvana
the cult
the chameleons
metallica
These make up the remainder of my current top ten right now.
-
Not number 1 but up there amongst my favourites
1/ Marc Almond/Soft Cell
2/ The Mission
3/ Morrissey/The Smiths
-
A sort of indie rock/ pop band called "The National"
Nick Drake is brilliant.
Elliott Smith
(Early) Bright Eyes
(Some) Manic Street Preachers
It really changes often with the exception of NMA which is aways my number 1 since age 19 or so.
Really anything that makes me feel something as music should be about emotions and not just entertainment. In my opinion at least. If it can make me cry or feel less isolated, then i love it.
-
THE WATERBOYS anyone?
Right up there with NMA for me. Was really pleased to read that JS rated A Rock In The Weary Land as one of his favourite albums.
Also The Chameleons but in a more nostalgic manner as they split up ages ago.
-
THE WATERBOYS anyone?
Read the previous posts. People took their good time to write them and you take your time to ignore them. Real social guy you are, huh? All about you.
The guy Space on this thread has the best list here. The Waterboys are on it.
-
Um, Space..? There are other duplications of fave bands on this thread...
Also, 'that guy Space'... you talking about yourself in the third person now?
We have read the threads, including yours. We respect them all.

is that the best list with Katy Perry on it ? ::)
-
NMA have been in my top 5 bands since the mid eighties but Husker Du have been my fave band of all time. Other bands in there are
Electric six (very very underrated)
The Chameleons
The Gun Club
Pixies
The Skids
Bob Mould
Joy Division/New Order
-

What like you? Try not being so ******* antagonistic to people if you want them to talk back.
The guy Space on this thread has the best list here.
Only according to you sunshine. It's OPINION - and just like an arsehole, we all have one but nobodys is worth any more or less than anyone elses.
Furthermore, it's about HEARING other peoples voices not just our own. It's how we progress as human beings. Shouting loudest in the playground never made anyone the bloke in the sky sitting on a cloud dispensing ultimate truth.
-
BOB MOULD. Check out the youtUse footage from Letterman last week. It's f'in brilliant!
-

Exactly. Well said, Anna. Hearing other peoples voices. And that's why I am bothered by the poster JohnZ who comes here and does not read any of the previous posts. It's about hearing other peoples' voices. It's how we progress as human beings. Apparently John Z does not believe in that. He didn't care at all what I wrote, what you wrote, what anyone else on this thread wrote. He is deserving of some rebuke for that, don't you think?
-
Space, we can sometimes miss a post or two...
... at least he didn't launch anything truly personally and offensive about other Forum-ites, eh?
:o
-
;D ;D
Some of my other favourite bands/artists
Theatre of Hate
Spear of Destiny
Beautiful South
REM
AC/DC
Metallica (prefer the early stuff)
Bowie
Gene Loves Jezebel
Carter USM
Salvation
March Violets
SDC/DC/The Cult (Again prefer the earlier Cult stuff)
PWEI
Wonder Stuff
Jam/Style Council/Weller
Early Human League/Heaven 17
Ultravox (both Foxx and Ure eras)
I could go on :) :)
Also listen to quite a bit of ska, psychobilly (Meteors, Guana Batz, Stingrays etc etc)
Personally i have a massive music taste and if I like it that's good enough for me
Also a massive fan of Northern Soul mainly due to over 30 years of scootering so it's what you hear around the rallies along with the ska and mod stuff
-
Wow, surprised that no one here has yet to mention:
Theater Of Hate,
Spear Of Destiny,
Beautiful South,
or
REM
See how utterly rude that is?
Get my point, now?
-

Nope. Not by a long shot...
-
Doesn't matter whether they've been mentioned previously or not as it's a personal question to each of us so we give our own answer irrespective of what anyone else likes :) :)
I don't need to read though to see what others have posted as it won't change what i write
No doubt some of the bands/artists I have listed have already been mentioned and no doubt I could mention some that haven't.
Don't really give a toss :) :)
-
Dear oh dear - back to Wily Waving again then................................................ ;D
Don't think I'll win ;D ;D ;D ;

;D ;D

BOB MOULD. Check out the youtUse footage from Letterman last week. It's f'in brilliant!
I'm on whats known as the Sugarlist which is a fan site so I get sent e-mails when anything Husker Du and related appears so received a link to it and yeh for an old looking fart Bob certainly rocks

A fair point as I've collected all his releases and even managed to see him live so maybe I should add him. But I suppose over the years since the demise of Husker Du his output has been quite small in comparison to Bob's so I sort of see him as a part-timer. That said all his album releases have been of a pretty good standard whereas some of Bob's have not quite hit the target for me

Yeah, Grant Hart hasn't been prolific enough. I always prefered his songs on Husker Du records.
-

I'd say I'd probably go for more of Bob's songs in Husker Du but then again he wrote more especially on the earlier releases but solo wise Grant's pretty much on top considering he's released a lot less than Bob.
-
I have only one Husker Du album; very early live stuff called Land Speed Record. It's a cracker, although the sounds are muddy.
Bob Mould had this band called Sugar too. I still have it on a cassette. I sort of liked it. Heard he did children's songs too...
Aw, I forgot the Misery from my list. 8)
-
I really liked Sugar 'back in the day'... Beaster is a cracker...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=noQ3sjv-lTI
I must get into Husker Du... only ever listened to Zen Arcade... where to go from their next?
-

Sugar's song "A Good Idea" is probably the greatest song ever made. It is also the blueprint for every single song that Nirvana made. Any lawyer could make millions bringing a suit against Nirvana for ripping off Sugar's "A Good Idea."

Please... Mr Cobain was always open and honest about ripping off The Pixies, a band he always regarded as being finer than his own...
-
And Eighties from Killing Joke too. Bands that are/were alive at the time when Nirvana loaned their riffs. It's a funny detail but I think it just tells how much they honoured those bands. (No ironics here.)
There's also an album where Dave Grohl plays songs with artists he's always been a real fan of. It's called the Probot.

In order of my preferences
New Day Rising (my fave album of all time)
Flip Your Wig
Zen Arcade
Warehouse: Songs And Stories
Metal Circus
Everything Falls Apart
Candy Apple Grey
Land Speed Record
Also agree that Beaster was a cracking Sugar release, especially the song Tilted of it.

Cheers, mate, will get stuck into that...
'Lostock'... hmm, I might have this wrong, but are you a fellow Cheshire person? As in Lostock Gralam? We may have gone over this before, but I sometimes post after a few beers... and, at my age, my memory isn't what it used to be... ;)

-
NEW MODEL ARMY and Justin Sullivan my favourite bands, songwriters by far, since 1995, then...:
5 bands/artists i discovered last year:
THE SOUND (Adrian Borland had a wonderful voice and there were very beautiful melodies and lyrics in his band. Lots of emotions listening to this band, with beautiful songs like "Winning", "Silent air", "Total recall", "You've got a way", "Longest days", "A new way of life", etc THE SOUND and Adrian Borland quickly became my favorite songwriters after NMA/Justin)
MEG MYERS (I really like her voice and a lot of her songs, I don't like everything she sings, 100%, but there is emotion and intensity in her voice and her music I think...songs like "Motel", "The morning after", "Numb", "Constant", "Feather", "Desire", "Funeral", "Little black death", "The underground", "Teenagers", "Last laugh", etc )
LARKIN POE (an exciting Blues/Rock band carried by the beautiful voice of Rebecall Lovell and the virtuoso guitar playing of her sister Megan. All their albums are good. Excellent live band, too.)
SAMANTHA FISH (Another talented Blueswoman! Again, like LARKIN POE, great voice, great guitar playing and great live artist. Songs: "Daughters", "***** on the run", "Money to burn", "All the words", "Bulletproof", etc.)
MOLLY TUTTLE (talented Country/Bluegrass/Folk artist. Again, a very pretty voice and amazing guitar playing. Songs: "The river knows", "Save this heart", "Take the journey", "Dooley's farm", her cover of "Helpless" by NEIL YOUNG.
THIN LIZZY (I love Phil Lynott's voice and bass playing. My 3rd favourite band/songwriter after NMA and THE SOUND)
JOHN CAMPBELL (his Blues album "One believer" is one of my all time favourite albums...the title track for example, incredible..)
NEIL YOUNG
CRY OF LOVE (for their great Blues/Rock "Brother" album)
JANE'S ADDICTION and PORNO FOR PYROS (the 2/3 first albums of both of these bands)
STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN
TONY JOE WHITE

Thank you Guillaume for excavating this older thread, was interesting to read through :)
Are NMA my favourite band? Yes... but they gotta share the pedestal :) I have two all-time favourite bands which both fill a very different shaped hole in my soul so it's not possible to put one above the other - the other band being Meshuggah. I cannot put into words of how much I love those guys. They're masters of their trade, their rhythmical imagination is unique, out of this world. For me it's a pure physical pleasure to listen to Meshuggah and they're the only metal band that make me cry just out of sheer beauty of it. Still after all these years, they never fail providing never-ending goosebumps, and all those pleasurable tugs and shivers.... And live, even in a small venue, they're massive.
If I would be pushed to name ONE song, I think it should be Dancers to a Discordant System, because in its nine+ minutes it contains pretty much all the elements that are essentially Meshuggah. When that groove kicks in about six minutes into the song... that's some serious brain massage ;D and ending with simple, haunting melody...
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=a1zFJKPOnXg (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=a1zFJKPOnXg)
And here's a nine-minute instrumental with beautiful visuals from their new album, for those who can't stand growling :)
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=c6Q1v4zRt1w (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=c6Q1v4zRt1w)
Sorry, I'll see myself out now. :) Quite literally - first time ever in Cologne so I should go have a look around... Cannot wait to see NMA tonight and tomorrow, it'll be beautiful!! And sweaty and ugly and all those things that makes our favourite music so wonderful :)
