I'm glad you said first OZZY OZZY !!!!

[Huxley]

My top three bands are the following:

-Cream
I just love the psychadellic flavour into the band. Besides, Eric Clapton was my first musical hero. I discovered this band when I was 11, which suprisingly, wasn't long ago.

-Steely Dan
I love this band. Fantastic Jazz Fusion arrangements and a complete anti-depression feeling. I love Donald Fagen (Vocalist) and the band is just great.

-Rammstein
As for the only Heavy metal band in the top 3 countdown. I love foreign languages and Rammstein works wonders for me, plus I just dig deep voices anyway XD

Despite considering myself a 'Metal Head', I have more Heavy Metal bands in my top 20 favourite musicians of all time (Lol) such as Opeth, Dream Theater, Led Zeppelin, and some other bands... I'm also a big fan of obsecure musicians, like Pink Floyd.

[SWM]

[Red Serpent]

hmmm I don't have 3 all-times best... i can't restrain myself like that...

3 this week is hard enough:

Dissection;
Orphaned Land;

[Elelem]

Absu -
Mythological Occult Metal!!!

[Sinistar666]

Here's few because I can't say just 3 like others here.

Pink Floyd
Metallica
Slipknot
H.I.M.
Smashing Pumpkins
Tool
A Perfect Circle
Dimmu Borgir
Cradle of Filth
Behemoth
Arcturus
Disturbed
Linkin Park
Stain'd
Nine Inch Nails
Deftones
Paramore

I can't say that Avenged Sevenfold is among my favorites but they do have Guns-N-Roses inspired guitar playing that sounds great and a few good songs. Calling someone a "fag" for musical tastes is ignorant and I doubt that that person would ever say that to someone else in person.

[Manbearpig]

Hmmm....

Nightwish
Therion
Black Sabbath (Tony Martin era)
Any B. Dickinson solo or IM.......

[percival]

Led Zeppelin,Jethro Tull,Beatles

[Asarial]

Tool...'nuff said.

[monsterbetty]

3 . . .

Mars Volta
Coheed and Cambria
The Used

but lately I've been on a Prince kick for some reason.

[CrimsonSheep]

oh, and sorry but most of you have **** taste in music, especially you avenged sevenfoldfags. But hailz to the heavy metal/classic rock fans.
But what about those of us who are all three? :eek:
(...I just like melodic singers. You can't blame me.
...
Much.)

[Lokia_Zos]

Okay, in defense of the person who called people fags for liking Avenged Sevenfold...they seriously make my stomach turn and ARE worthless people who make worthless music. I've met them, like right after they genre jumped because they realized people who liked metalcore hated them, primarily because they didn't know **** about the genre and just came off as being a part of metalcore just to be hip (it was becoming a popular thing at the time).

But, they are disgusting people. 'nuff said. Those that like them aren't fags, unless they actually are, and then that is cool also.

1. Coil-seriously, if you're into the occult check them out. They've done everything from Harsh Industrial noise, to Drone, to Techno, to Ritual Ambient, and several things inbetween
2. Boredoms- I don't listen to them much anymore, but I went to see them on 7/7/07 and they performed with 77 drummers. The setlist was oriented towards where the sun was in the sky...giving cues when it was time for the next song. They are japanese, and most of you would probably think their early stuff is rubbish (goofy sounding punk guitar, japanese guy screams in gibberish, cuts off to the sound of some toy) but their later stuff involves alot of nice beautiful drones and tribal drumming.
3.Nurse With Wound-I'm not saying anything but that I love Steven Stapleton.

[CV91]

1. Lacuna Coil
2. 40 Below Summer
3. Korn

[chronazon]

1. front 242...nothing like 80's darkwave. these guys have an extensive catalog and are making some of the best music still today

2.pink floyd -their concept albums and themes are amazing. Nick Mason's drumming has always been an inspiration. I love Syd's solo work.
quintessential English charm.

3. Jefferson Airplane - 2nd to the Dead in the San fransisco scene, the Airplane, and later, Starship, made awesome music all the way. 5 songs you must hear are running round this world, other side of this life, ballad of you and me and pooneil/house at pooneil corners, and Bear Melt

[xervans]

3. Burzum
2. System of a Down
1. Morbid Angel

MA has to take the cake out of the three simply because they're badass.

[Wulzirik]

1. Ancient
2. Manowar
3. Iron Maiden

Honorary 4, 5, and 6:
