it depends cause i have a favorite band/artist for every genre i listen to:

alt. rock: Matchbox 20. Rob Thomas = yummy voice
punk/pseudopunk: Linkin Park. Call it what you will, i like their sound.
Rap/hip-hop: Eminem. love his voice, love his style, love him.
J-Pop/J-Rock: Weiss Kreuz. Koyasu, Miki, Yuuki and Seki are sweet.
ska: tie between Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Sneaker Pimps, and Aquabats.
emo: Weezer. because Weezer is geek-rock love
Kudou Yohji is sinfully delicious.

Getting into the stupid "punk/not-punk" argument would be too time consuming for anyone here. :p
But Sneaker Pimps as ska? Are you sure? I thought they were trip-hop. Maybe I'm thinking of different Sneaker Pimps.

Did they go ska after losing their female lead singer? It's not like I kept up with them after that. :shock:

Last I heard they were still British trip-hop, though.

I also need to shout out to They Might Be Giants. John Linnell, John Flansburgh, and the Band of Dans are great. 20 years of being themselves. :)

TMBG are great... my favorite is still "Boat of Car" for reasons entirely my own.

And I started getting obsessive over the Mars Volta, finally. Probably the best At the Drive-In offshoot, although I haven't heard that much of Crime in Choir yet.

Math rock scale:
Sparta --> At the Drive-In --> The Mars Volta --> Crime In Choir

MV gets a bit more balance in their math-rock formula (pun!) by adding vocals over Crime in Choir, and tougher start-stop rhythms than AtDI had. And surprisingly, Cedric Bixler screams only on rare occasions, so the music can speak for its own energy a little bit more.

Not that there's anything wrong with screaming. *gently caresses Blood Brothers LPs*

Hmm, there's more offshoots?

I'm a fan of the Mars Volta to some extent, myself (but, as you can see from my incompetence, not a very obsessed one). So math rock is the new title going around huh? Geh, I just call them prog rock and leave it at that, they actually fit in with that sort of brand nicely. Math enough though, I suppose.

Good times, that :roll:

They sound like math-rock to me. Maybe not to the extent of, I dunno, Don Caballero, but you certainly have to be counting to keep up. Crime In Choir is even more so, and without the vocals they sound a lot more like Don Cab.

And I think there are only the three offshoots, but I could be wrong.

Meh, my Favorite probably are "Die Ärzte"*, a hard to descripe, german Band.

*Anglophones without Umlauts may write them Aerzte, and there are a few AMVs hosted here with Aerzte songs.

Muse. They're full of awesome. Origin of Symmetry is probably my favorite album of theirs.
There's a sig here. Really.

I think that would have to be Green Day. Catch 22 is a close 2nd.

the funny thing is most of my favorite songs dont come from those bands, but those bands have the most overall quality songs, which makes them the best overall, imo.
