The Smashing Pumpkins, obviously. XD
And because I LOVE all they're original stuff and I can relate to their music....... None of the new stuff with the new members, it's not the same.

They are my favorite band for many reasons although the best reason to me, is that they seemed to do everything perfect back in 1980-1985.
Vocals: Bruce Dickinson is, alongside Ronnie Dio, arguably the greatest Heavy Metal vocalist. His voice has a lot of power and authority in the songs; the lyrics are very clear and easy to understand once you've gotten used to them.
Guitar: Dave Murray and Adrian Smith are both lead guitarists who created Great Riffs and insane double guitar solos. Iron Maiden has some of the best guitar solos ever recorded.
Bass: Steve Harris is a great bassist; while most bassists get to relax and take it easy during most songs, Harris blasts out constant epic bass riffs!
Drums: Nicko McBrain is a great drummer. His technical abilities are best shown during performances of Run to the Hills and Hallowed Be Thy Name. Few other bands have been fortunate enough to have this tallented of a drummer.
Lyrics and Songs: I like songs about how great love is and how bad heartbreak is, but it seems like that's almost all there is. With Iron Maiden, the songs are much more complex lyrics and meanings. Here are some examples:
Run to the Hills, The Trooper, Aces High, and 2 Minu...

Run to the Hills, The Trooper, Aces High, and 2 Minutes to Midnight are all about the glory and horror of warfare; something few bands dare to talk about.
Children of the Damned is the retelling of the 80s Horror movie of the same name. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Flight of Icarus is the retelling the Greek myth of Icarus's Escape.
Powerslave is about a Pharoh coming to terms with his own death.
Rime of the Ancient Mariner is actually a musical version of Samuel Coleridge's epic poem which was written in 1817. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Live Performances: I usually hate live performances, but Iron Maiden not only puts on a great show; some of the songs are better than the studio Versions. These are the best two examples:
Revelations

Phantom of the Opera

Up the Irons!
More then 30 Years of pure rocking out
Real talented mucisians (unlike many new ones)
best bass in metal
They truly love music and respect it. I've also grown respect for them, when they lost their drummer. It takes alot of passion and will power to keep going after something like that.
and the music's catchy :)
Ah, well, my favorite group is PointFive! :D
^ fukken a capella! OwO
^ fukken sounds like the 90's!
^ my fukken favorite song! (...right now it is, anyway...)
My favorite is Clear-san (the blue one)! He's the reason I started listening to the group, and it took me a long time to get over my Clear-bias and actually listen to the other members... They're actually all quite good though!
I guess... it's my favorite group because it's made up of some of the best Utaite on Nico Nico Douga, and because they cover some of my favorite songs. ^^
AND CLEAR-SAN IS IN IT,
THAT'S ALL THAT REALLY MATTERS!
XD
Nirvana because Kurt Cobain was the greatest songwriter ever and their music is so meaningful
Lynyrd Skynyrd because their music is so patriotic and they are a REAL classic rock and roll band and they have a great old school sound
Van Halen has one of the greatest guitar players who ever lived and their music sounds so great
Def Leppard is just an all-around great rock band
3 Doors Down is one of the few really good new rock bands their lyrics also have great meaning
Because they were one of a kind.
surprises happen?
I really enjoy their music
they are not as good anymore
the new stuff is kind of boring
Weezer
The Beattles
and of course
Paramore
They're my favorite because the lyrics are relatable, and Amy Lee's voice is amazing.
