| 12 Bands That Have An Inspired Me As A Musician
I'm probably entering dangerous territory here because some of you may not think highly of the musicians in this band, but that's okay. Because I don't care about you :P | | 1 | Death
This band is pretty much the reason I decided to even pick up an instrument. I have loved EVERY single album they ever put out. Even stuff by Control Denied is good, but Death, specifically the string of awesome bassits, have influenced me. | | 2 | Napalm Death
From Scum to Enemy of the Music Business right down to their latest, Time Waits For No Slave, I have loved this band. | | 3 | Overmars
Probably one of the greatest Doom outfits ever brought together. I've heard nearly everything by them, though some of it is out of print. | | 4 | The Dead Boys
Lesser known punk rock quintet from the 70's They only had two albums, but influenced me greatly. Young, Loud, and Snotty is definitely an album that defines the Punk genre. | | 5 | The Ramones
Greatest punk rock band ever. Dee Dee Ramone is also one of the best punk bassists ever. Too bad he kicked the bucket. | | 6 | Venom
Yes. The album is Black Metal. WAIT! NO! Don't leave just yet! Temples of Ice, At War With Satan, and their latest, Hell are pretty damn exceptional. | | 7 | Watchtower
Thrash-Progressive band has definitely played a role in modern progressive metal. They even influenced Death. But they have some seriously killer bass lines in almost every song of Energetic Disassembly | | 8 | In The Woods
Everything they did is out of print, sadly. I'm the proud owner of Heart of the Ages, though. Kickass black metal, folk metal, and prog-metal. | | 9 | 7 Seconds
Hardcore Punk band from early 80's that lasted throughout the 80's and I think most of the 90's and into the 2000's. First two albums I picked up were Walk Together, Rock Together and The Crew. | | 10 | Discharge
If I put up Napalm, you know I cannot forget the Discharge. One of the most epic hardcore/punk bands that ever was. Why? and Hear Nothing, along with their newest self titled was awesome. | | 11 | Screeching Weasel
Yea Yea...I know. These guys don't exactly measure up to the rest, but their shit is catchy and funny. When Dan Vapid was around in the earlier albums, his bass skills effing ruled. No doubts. | | 12 | Cro-Mags
Awesome crossover hardcore band. Age of Quarrel and Revenge. "Street Justice" is just one of those timeless hardcore tunes. | |

03.24.11 | Fuck yes 8, but you forgot the ellipsis... | FearThyEvil
03.24.11 | 1 enough said. | MO
03.24.11 | Inspires all | Zion
03.24.11 | I have only ever listened to 8 and I never understood why they were so highly regarded. | Zion
03.24.11 | Probably because I'm retarded and gay but I'm not sure. | 37er00
03.24.11 | 1 | Spec
03.24.11 | Power chords FTW | PostModernJellyfish
03.24.11 | haha Zion it's all good. I think the people who listen to them and love their stuff like the effortless fusing of multiple genre styles in their albums. | MO
03.24.11 | Chuck ftw | PostModernJellyfish
03.24.11 | Haha what Spec? | Aids
03.24.11 | you must be a terrible musician
no jk, but seriously I don't listen to any of these bands except for a little Death now and again. | Spec
03.24.11 | Haha just being a dick. There are a fair amount of power chords used by some of these bands though ;) | PostModernJellyfish
03.24.11 | Agreed. Death, Cro Mags, and Venom being the first to come to mind. But they don't abuse them...well maybe not Death or Venom haha | Spec
03.24.11 | Though you should fix the title, it's buggin' me dun ya know. | PostModernJellyfish
03.24.11 | I agree. Something more befitting like, "12 Bands that Inspired Me to be the Greatest Musican of All Time." | Urinetrouble
03.24.11 | i'll say it now: The Ramones fucking suck | PostModernJellyfish
03.24.11 | -See list description- | Urinetrouble
03.24.11 | nah everybody but me loves the fucking Ramones. I guess writing the same song 30 times in your career makes you the greatest | Aids
03.24.11 | "nah everybody but me loves the fucking Ramones"
nope, The Ramones fucking suck [2] | couldwinarabbit
03.24.11 | "Greatest punk rock band ever" is a huge overstatement but they were pretty great. | PostModernJellyfish
03.24.11 | Again, it's all opinion. | huskerdoo
03.24.11 | post modern jellyfish ha ha | ShinXetsu
03.24.11 | I agree with 1, Chuck Schuldiner is hands down one of the most creative metal guitarists I've ever heard. Hell I'm actually learning Trapped in a Corner on my guitar right now.
One extra band I'd add for me is At The Drive-In. | pillowswantyoursoul
03.24.11 | Not so bad. I was getting ready to flame you when I saw that title. | Pharoh
09.04.11 | I'd trade the ramones for gorilla biscuits anyday |
