I don't have a "favorite band ever" because that's almost entirely contingent on my mood. But, that's not even what the topic asked anyhow.
I've been listening to a lot of Buckethead recently, but my band of the moment might just be Mogwai. Or Do Make Say Think. There's nothing like Do Make Say Think in spring time.
Probably between Pink Floyd and Radiohead, but I will stick with the latter. The longevity went to Radiohead, then I started hearing Pink Floyd and they slowly crept in.
I always think Pink Floyd is up there with The Beatles, The Who, and The Rolling Stones as the greatest rock band ever (personally I find them the greatest). I know my favorite bands will always be the Pixies and Television, as well. But not counting those bands, my favorite bands as of recent are Queens of the Stone Age and Mastodon. If we're also counting rap groups, then A Tribe Called Quest would be there, as well. I have a feeling I'm gonna have Weezer, Nirvana, Radiohead, and the Replacements up there soon again, however.
Metallica is my favorite band of all time so I'm always listening to them a lot but lately I've been listening to a lot of Gama Bomb, Lich King, Municipal Waste and King Diamond / Mercyful Fate.
"Okay, I rescind my statement. This Will Destroy You is my favorite band at the moment. Get a chance, and listen to "Burial on the Presidio Banks". Beautiful. "
Dude, I've tried really hard to like This Will Destroy You as much as I like, say, Explosions in the Sky. But they just don't hit home with me. "Burial on the Presidio Banks" is pretty cool, but "Villa Del Refugio" is just dull, the production's not great, and while they're ok at what they do, they just aren't original or exciting enough for my tastes.
Ironically though, considering your avatar, I would have to say that Godspeed You! Black Emperor is right up there for me right now. Antennas to Heaven is such an amazing album. I'm also loving mewithoutYou, The Mars Volta, Underoath, Low, and loads others. And then of course there's my all-time favourites of Thrice, Sigur Ros and At the Drive-In. They're always in the rotation.
