Before resuming the Top10, I'd like to say that I got World of Goo soundtrack (it's available for free at Kyle Gabler's portfolio - the composer of the tracks -, just google it if you're interested) and I'm enjoying it, all the tracks are great.
5th: Mindless Self Indulgence
They aren't so famous and they call their music "industrial jungle pu$y punk". The first time I listened to them was watching an Akatsuki fan video (or AMV, I think that's how they call it) and I wanted more songs by them so got some and they are really cool, different from anything I've ever listened to. A bit of electronic, some experimental points and a lot of insanity.
Best songs:
-Mark David Chapman
-Shut Me Up (funny video)
-Straight To Video (#crazy #nonsense #insane)
4th: Linkin Park
One of the most famous bands I know, Linkin Park had reached its highest point with the albums Meteora and Hybrid Theory in my opinion. Then they started to change their styIe and got to what they are today... I don't like those new LP songs and I don't know why they changed, but it's okay 'cause they can't change music that's been already done. With elements of hip-hop and rock, Linkin Park is for sure one of the best bands ever.
Best songs:
-Lying From You
-Runaway (Dragon Ball Z/GT AMV)
-Don't Stay (Naruto AMV)
3rd: Serj Tankian
System of a Down's lead man, main vocal, keyboarder and lyricist Serj Tankian started his solo career some years ago and his songs are great! Beautiful lyrics, usage of unusual instruments for a rock band and his unique voice makes his songs awesome! Also, Serj and Tom Morello (Rage Against The Machine/Audioslave) have the Axis of Justice, a non-profitable project to gather musicians to fight for social justice or something. Serj also fights for the recognition of the Armenian genocide, and other noble causes involving social and humanitarian problems and is a poet, who has recently published his poems book, Cool Gardens. Sorry for writing so much about him, but I consider Serj Tankian as being my only true idol.
Best songs:
-Beethoven's C*nt
-Baby
-Falling Stars
2nd: Slipknot
Slipknot is a nine-piece band of new/heavy metal, though their styIe has changed within the years. The band is known for their masks, used during shows and in the videos. They say they wear masks 'cause they wanna be recognized by their music, not by their faces. The band has a DJ, a drummer, a bassist, two percussionists, two guitarists, a backing vocal and a lead singer, what makes an awesome musical experience.
Best songs:
-Vermilion, Pt. 2 (maybe the most beautiful song ever)
-Dead Memories
-Wait and Bleed
1st: System of a Down
Musically great, deep lyrics (most), what else? It's hard to explain why this is my favourite bands. Maybe the fact that it was that best friend of mine who left to Argentina who introduced me to the band makes me like them more, but they're just amazing. Their music is not so heavy, and I think it's enjoyable for anyone. SoaD forever!
