I know that there are some people that have a specific favorite band, meaning that they use most of their music for videos and animations, especially RHG animations. So what is your signature band? Must explain why and what did you use their music for, or you just like their music.

No OSTs as in music from video games, movies, etc. It has to be real bands like Rolling Stones, Tenacious D, Dethklok, Sybreed, Voltaire, etc.

Here are just some of my favorite quotes and bars:

"Name of my inner child? Damien Thorn!"
"Double crossed Christ because once wasn't enough."
"Cross my heart, hope you die."
"Rest-in-peace-out."
"I'm a hell-born Seraphim, four faces with torn feather wings, spawning forth the four Nephilim."
"I got master degree burns after a heatstroke of genius"
"If I swallowed my pride, I'd choke to death."
"Spit on your grave ‘til the corpse floats to the surface."
"My body's not a temple, it's a haunted house."
"License to drive you insane."

Stratovarius is by far my favourite band, I love their style and lyrics, covering many themes and ideas, and the sometimes mystical appeal some songs have I love.
They have a new album Nemesis which is to be released in February, and the single which I've heard..I love it.
They've been as a band since 1984.
They have a nice range of instrumentals, fast paced songs, but in my opinion, their best songs are the slower and lengthier songs. The song Elysium being one of my favourites.
The album artwork is always really neat, and is inspiring to me on a personal level.

I feel they're more of a band I simply prefer myself, almost everyone I show them to doesn't really show a great deal of interest.

Anyone who would want to take a new step in metal bands, I'd recommend them.

What is that shit about? I hope my band/group/composer is "real" enough for you bro.

And if you aren't into that sex up there try this. Maybe it will be more "real".

MOTHERFUCKING CAN

that's an album cover and not a logo but whatever

Can is one of the greatest bands to ever exist and influenced (or even pioneered) a wide variety of genres (industrial, trip hop, ambient, noise rock, post-rock, avant-garde/experimental, punk, new wave, electronic), but most importantly post-punk because post-punk is one of my favorite genres. they were also a big influence on Radiohead

these albums by Can are timeless masterpieces (seriously), and are very unique even from each other:
Future Days
Tago Mago
Ege Bamyasi

and others with Mooney as the singer (black guy who left after a mental breakdown) like Monster Movie and Delay 1968 are also great.

the drummer, Jaki Liebezeit, is the greatest drummer of all times. Damo is a Japanese guy who lived in Germany yet sang in English and his voice is beautiful. I have fukken spiritual experiences to Future Days.

Can influenced my musical taste quite a bit.

"By bridging electronic music, jazz music and rock music, Can accomplished the first organic study on rhythm and texture. Their hypnotic and glacial instrumental jams straddled the line between free-jazz, acid-rock and chamber music. While pursuing an erudite divertissement of Cage's aleatory music and Schoenberg's atonal music, while experimenting with the potentialities of electronically-manipulated instruments, while favoring subdued, fragmented, loose structures and sinister, menacing atmospheres, Can became masters of a new electro-acoustic form of music." -Scruffy

also I own the original U.S press of Future Days on vinyl. wish it was the German pressing but it's still #rare and sweet

Rage against the machine they have epic drum beats for fight epic guitar that pleases the ears and the mix of rap and good rock makes this band my animation fetish

my favorite songs from them are probably bombtrack, testify, killing in the name and sleep now in the fire
