Probably Deftones. I've always found Chino Moreno's voice amazing, and also, for a metal band, there's something like a dream feel in their music which I can't find in other metal bands and which I totally enjoy.
A Perfect Circle. Maynard's voice and bass work is amazing :") Combined with other rock gods like James Iha, Billy Howerdel, Josh Freese and Jeordie White dear god. And their creativity in their music videos is randomly fucking awesome. Look at The Outsider. Bikini bandits wtf seriously that's hilarious for a video clip for a song that's about his friend ODing from drugs. Then they made a sequel to it for Thinking of You. I totally do love them.
This. And Tool and Puscifer too. (Another projects of Maynard James Keenan) (And ASHES dIVIDE, band formed by guitarist Billy Howerdel, who had also formed A Perfect Circle) My third favorite band is Pendulum.
Changes alot; but right now it's Rage Against The Machine. I personally think they do the rap metal thing better than LP with Morello's insane riffs and Tim Commerford and Brad Wilk's funky backbeat. Plus, Zach De La Rocha is the only legitimately good rock rapper other than Shinoda in my opinion. LP's diversity, unpredictability, and catchiness is what puts them ahead of Rage for me.
Linkin Park as a favorite band? Anyways, my favorite bands don't include LP at all. NIN, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Foo Fighters and a rotating band based on my mood.
Due to my wish, though, to reach 3000 posts and become blue before Flagrare, I shall say: - Placebo - White Lies - 30 Seconds to Mars and maybe System of A Down.
Off the top of my head: Slipknot Sevendust Finger Eleven Deftones Dillinger Escape Plan Not exactly my favourites, but I used to frequently listen to these guys.
Hmmm difficult to name all of them. However besides LP some of my faves are: Rise Against, Enter Shikari, Anti Flag, The Gaslight Anthem, August Burns Red, For Today, The Devil Wears Prada, As I lay Dying (been listening to a lot of metalcore lately) etc. ....
