Whats the one Band you love to listen to and have been a fan of the longest.

I love Pink Floyd.

I could say Pink Floyd, because I listened to them as a wee baby.
Now though, I'd say the Beatles, Trespassers William, Radiohead or Chopin. So what if Chopin isn't a band and I picked more than one. :p

Me I have one that i love and love to bits. Marillion

Probably Evanescence, I've loved them since I were 13.. but now that I am nearly 18.. my music taste is changing.. maturing you could say.

Red Hot Chili Peppers. With the exception of One Hot Minute (By The Way was questionable, but still good) they haven't done anything I didn't enjoy.

The Doors.

For me, it's got to be Skillet. They beat Trivium by a year.

Another I like is Linkin Park

I second that... as the paint fumes begin to pervade my nostrils... the new album is kinda weird though - less Mike

The Bloodhound Gang! They are just super!

One band? I can't be that specific! =O

Hmm.....one band....

....Billy Joel, I guess. With a thousand different close runners-up.

Wow. Such taste. I'm speechless, Ivan. In a good way.

its hard to choose one band, i love so many depending on wut genre of rock/metal u r talking about.....
hmm, i guess ill go for my fav black metal band, Cradle of Filth.
o, and for the heck of it, here are the lyrics for one of my favorite songs, a clean one of course, lol
Her Ghost In The Fog-Cradle of Filth:

"The Moon, she hangs like a cruel portrait
soft winds whisper the bidding of trees
as this tragedy starts with a shattered glass heart
and the Midnightmare trampling of dreams
But no, no tears please
Fear and pain may accompany Death
But it is desire that shepherds it's certainty
as We shall see..."

She was divinity's creature
That kissed in cold mirrors
A Queen of Snow
Far beyond compare
Lips attuned to symmetry
Sought Her everywhere
Dark liqoured eyes
An Arabian nightmare...

She shone on watercolours
Of my pondlife as pearl
Until those who couldn't have Her
Cut Her free of this World

That fateful Eve when...
The trees stank of sunset and camphor
Their lanterns chased phantoms and threw
An inquisitive glance, like the shadows they cast
On my love picking rue by the light of the moon

Putting reason to flight
Or to death as their way
They crept through woods mesmerized
By the taffeta Ley
Of Her hips that held sway
Over all they surveyed
Save a mist on the rise
(A deadly blessing to hide)
Her ghost in the fog

They raped and left...
(Five men of God)
...Her ghost in the fog

Dawn discovered Her there
Beneath the Cedar's stare
Silk dress torn, Her raven hair
Flown to gown Her beauty bared
Was starred with frost, I knew Her lost
I wept 'til tears crept back to prayer

She'd sworn Me vows in fragrant blood
"Never to part
Lest jealous Heaven stole our hearts"

Then this I screamed:
"Come back to Me for
I was born in love with thee
So why should fate stand inbetween?"

And as I drowned Her gentle curves
With dreams unsaid and final words
I espied a gleam trodden to earth
The Church bell tower key...

The village mourned her by the by
For She'd been a witch
their Men had longed to try
And I broke under Christ seeking guilty signs
My tortured soul on ice

A Queen of snow
Far beyond compare
Lips attuned to symmetry
Sought Her everywhere
Trappistine eyes
An Arabian nightmare...

She was Certainly Perfused
Of her milky white skin
My porcelain Yin
A graceful Angel of Sin

And so for Her...
The breeze stank of sunset and camphor
My lantern chased Her phantom and blew
Their Chapel ablaze and all locked in to a pain
Best reserved for judgement that their bible construed...

Putting reason to flight
Or to flame unashamed
I swept form cries
Mesmerized
By the taffeta Ley
Or Her hips that held sway
Over all those at bay
Save a mist on the rise
A final blessing to hide
Her ghost in the fog

And I embraced
Where lovers rot...
Her ghost in the fog

Her ghost in the fog

I don't really have a single favourite band, but if I really had to pick then I'd probably go with Linkin Park.

White Zombie. They have an uncopyable sound. Rob Zombie also goes in the same category

Jimmy Eat World.

Whats the one Band you love to listen to and have been a fan of the longest.

i love to listen to many others and have been a fan of some for longer, but w/ a combo of those two parameters, i'd have to say the TJB... now, does anyone here know what that is?

ps: how can a singer/piano player [billy joel] be called a 'band'?

Meh. In the same way that Bruce Springsteen (Another awesome dude) is a music group, I guess. I'm not too interested in the semantics, just the music...

Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass?

The one I've listened to the longest by far, although not a band, is Billy Joel. I listened to him in the womb.

However, whilst I am a huge fan of Mr. Joel, I think the band I've listened to for a fairly long period of time was either Evanescence (5 years) or Elliott Smith (7 years). You can't compare either with the other, because the two are just so diverse. ;)

System of a down is also up there, probably in 3rd or 4th. I was so devastated when they went on 'hiatus.'

Herb Alpert is the "A" of A&M Records. I used to enjoy the Tijuana Brass; but I have to admit that although the music was lively and fun, they weren't the most accomplished musicians.

Marillion

they weren't the most accomplished musicians.

they didn't have to be... it's the overall effect that counts with me and it's great music to listen to when your spirits need a lift or when doing physical labor, as it's the musical version of caffeine...

Yeah, I get that. :)

Pain Of Salvation

PS: Cradle of Filfth are by no means black metal. Cradle of Filfth are technical death. I personally cant' stand them.

Music genres are so very fickled.

Like how Evanescence is considered alternative metal... no, not really, more pop/rock than anything else.

Personally I find myself drawn to powermetal these days, such as Nightwish.

I like Incubus. The lyrics helped me through depression.
