CAA: Christian Anime Alliance

I can't figure out which one is best. I need the opinion of many. (Or a couple). Whichever comes first.

o_o Dude, this belongs in Jam Session.

...but as for just straight up rock band, the answer lies with Coheed and Cambria.

Ok. I didn't know there was a section for music.... Thanks. I'll need that for the future.

He shows much wisdom for one so young.

*Moveth'd.*

Hey, that second part of my post was pretty wise, too. Coheed and Cambria is better than anything on that poll. The White Stripes and System of a Down are pretty close, but...nothing else. Nothing else.

Oh. You might be surprised to hear this, but I have never in my life heard of either of those bands....

Coheed and Cambria is one band. They're the best rock band in recent history. You should check them out.

Oh. I hate it when that happens. By the way, I plan to make my own band when I'm older. I don't know what I would call it though.

Hmm, I probably wouldn't call half of those bands recent, it's just that more people are hearing of them now... Creed's broken up anyways..

Cool. What instrument(s) do you play?


My favorite "recent" band off of that list would probably be Foo Fighters. They have some good stuff.

I like Weezer. :O

Oh, man. I forgot about that! I love Weezer! I like "Buddy Holly".

This young man speaks the truth. Heed his words. Heheh...heed.

Um, yeah. Coheed has some uh...violent lyrics though. So you might want to read up before you put some on in the car with your mom and she has an aneurysm or something. That would be kinda bad.

Ummm.... about half of these bands are not recent. System, RCHP, Blink-182, Slipknot, Green Day, Foo Fighters, and the Strokes have all been around for awhile. I don't really know about the others, though I'm sure a couple of them aren't exactly 'new'.

As far as the best *recent* band, I can't agree with any of these choices. Judging recent as 'debuted in '05 or '06', I'd probably have to go with She Wants Revenge. They bring an interesting combination of pop, rock, goth rock, dance rock, and techno all mixed into one, creating a catchy but dark beat. They're truly amazing.

I will say, though, that while I don't like more than a couple of the bands on this list, Panic! At the Disco gets a thumbs up from me ^_^ (the only other is RHCP)

I am but a youth. Do not mock my ignorance, for I shall learn. Thank you, for that, by the way. I wasn't sure about those. Can you give an example of She Wants Revenge?

I do not like it. This is just my opinion, though.

Just ignore the "recent". And sorry about Double posting.

hm...I voted FOB as far as my taste in music goes, but I dont like them THAT much, especially with the somewhat sexual lyrics. Can't really blast that at home.
Panic! at the Disco appeals to me musically, especially 'I write sins not tragedies', but the lyrics...o.o No good. STUPID good music and their sucky lyrics. aaah.

Lately, i'd recommend The Fray. Granted, it's more laid back Coldplay-like music. I dont know what to recommend that wouldn't corrupt your mind, :-P sorry.

i am not gonna vote for any of them. Instead i am gonna say ......Showbread, David crowder band, He is legend, Family force 5, Subseven,August burns red, and many others PWN!

I don't see Demon Hunter on there...and I don't really care for any of the bands on there...meh.

I listened to "She wants Revenge." It seems like they're trying way too hard to be retro. Unfortunately, I can't really say I would consider any of those bands to be the best rock bands. If you ask 10 different people, you'll probably get 10 different opinions. As far as the best band goes, I would probably say either Third Day or Kutless, and not just because their music is good.

Yes Syreth i forgot about Kutless they are indeed very good

I voted for Blink182, but they're broken up now, anyways. Angels and Airwaves (Tom Delonge's new band) is good, though.

But yeah, had there been an "other" option, I would have picked that, and said either Mae, Jimmy Eat World (they're not too recent, but neither is GreenDay or Blink182), or Copeland. Yes.

Yeah, I'll be the first one to say SWR isn't for everyone. You have to have a certain taste in music for them to appeal to you.

I agree 100%.

I didn't mean it that way, sorry. I was just pointing it out. I suppose there wasn't any other way to interpret it than the way you did, and I apologize.

On a side note, if System were still good, I would have voted for them. System's first album is one of the best numetal albums I've ever heard.

In the scope of other good, new bands, 10 Years is a good choice.

Just listen to Wasteland once. You will listen to it again. And then you will listen to it again. And again. And once more. And again. That's what happened to me. I just got fortunate enough that the rest of the album is good, too. Also check out Waking Up, Cast It Out, and Through The Iris while you're there.

Recent bands?

Why ins't Wolfmother, Rock Kills Kid, Editors, Hard Hi, The Subways, Lovedrug, Kasabian, Brandi Carlile (Country, but she's still rocks out), or Hinder on the list? All these bands broke out in the last 5 years and are just getting airplay.

But none of them are on the list so I voted for MY favorite band, TBS.

Wolfmother TOTALLY needs to be on that list. Lovedrug has been around for a while, dude.

Kkun wrote:Wolfmother TOTALLY needs to be on that list. Lovedrug has been around for a while, dude.

I wanted to just add current bands but Lovedrug is just too awsome to not be on the list, even if they were around for a while.

No Breaking Benjamin? BOO! I refuse to vote. Or maybe my judgement is clouded because I am addicted to the CD I just got, We Are Not Alone.... And I suppose they could be considered "Metal" technically, since that is what iTunes has labeled it...

No Breaking Benjamin?

breaking benjamin is freaking awesome. I love the songs breakdown and Firefly(even tho they use the f-word in Firefly)

we need to get some good christian rock up there, i know alot of people think christian music sucks(i have heard alot of ppl say christian music always has bad lyrics here)...but i think that musically and lyrically there are some bands that should be up there...
