Well I made this new world because I wanted to show my favorite music because well no one really knows it, so I thought i would enlighten you to the many different "flavors" of music. I really ok with any type of music except rap and country (the 2 extreme music genres). I really like Rock Especially classic. and I as talking to people a few days ago and asked "hey, did you ever hear of this song" and there like " No Way , that's stupid" when there the people who probably never heard it so I wanted to show before they bash.
Bio (WIKI)-Queen were an English rock band formed in 1970 in London by guitarist Brian May, lead vocalist Freddie Mercury and drummer Roger Taylor, with bassist John Deacon completing the lineup the following year.
The band is noted for their musical diversity, multi-layered arrangements, vocal harmonies, and incorporation of audience participation into their live performances.[2] Their 1985 Live Aid performance was voted the best live rock performance of all time in an industry poll.[3]
Queen enjoyed success in the UK in the early 1970s with the albums Queen and Queen II, but it was with the release of Sheer Heart Attack in 1974 and A Night at the Opera the following year that the band gained international success. They have released fifteen studio albums, five live albums, and numerous compilation albums. Eighteen of these have reached number one on charts around the world. The actual figure of Queen's album sales varies by source, generally ranging from 190 - 300 million albums sold worldwide. According to an interview transcript on Brian May's official website, the band had sold in excess of 190 million albums by 2006.[4]
Following Mercury's death in 1991 and Deacon's retirement in 1997,[5] May and Taylor have performed infrequently under the Queen name. Since 2005 they have been collaborating with Paul Rodgers, under the moniker Queen + Paul Rodgers.

Sorry its been its been 50 days on the button and School has been taking up most of time so i haven't been able to post in awhile so ill try to get all 5 sometime within the next 3 days or so. HERE IT GOES. MY BAND OF VOL 4 IS....... Smashing Pumpkins
Bio (WIKI)-The Smashing Pumpkins are an American alternative rock band that formed in Chicago, Illinois in 1988.[1] While the group has gone through several lineup changes, The Smashing Pumpkins consisted of Billy Corgan (vocals/guitar), James Iha (guitar/backing vocals), D'arcy Wretzky (bass guitar/backing vocals), and Jimmy Chamberlin (drums/percussion) for most of the band's recording career.
Disavowing the punk rock roots shared by many of their alt-rock contemporaries,[2] the Pumpkins have a diverse, densely layered, and guitar-heavy sound, containing elements of gothic rock, heavy metal, dream pop, psychedelic rock, arena rock, shoegazer-style production and, in later recordings, electronica. Frontman Billy Corgan is the group's primary songwriter—his grand musical ambitions and cathartic lyrics have shaped the band's albums and songs, which have been described as "anguished, bruised reports from Billy Corgan's nightmare-land".[3]
The Smashing Pumpkins broke into the musical mainstream with their second album, Siamese Dream (1993). The group built their audience with extensive touring and their follow-up, the double album Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness (1995), debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 album chart. With approximately 18.25 million albums sold in the United States alone,[4] The Smashing Pumpkins were one of the most commercially successful and critically acclaimed bands of the 1990s.[5] However, internal fighting, drug use, and diminishing record sales hampered the band and led to a 2000 break-up. In April 2006, the band officially announced that it was reuniting and recording a new album. Returning members Billy Corgan and Jimmy Chamberlin were joined by musicians Jeff Schroeder (guitar/vocals), Ginger Reyes (bass/vocals), and Lisa Harriton (keyboard/vocals) in 2007 to tour in support of their new release, Zeitgeist.
Sorry its been its been 50 days on the button and School has been taking up most of time so i haven't been able to post in awhile so ill try to get all 5 sometime within the next 3 days or so. HERE IT GOES. MY BAND OF VOL 3 IS.......MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE
BIO (WIKI ONCE AGAIN)-The band was formed by frontman Gerard Way and drummer Matt Pelissier approximately one week after the September 11, 2001 attacks. Witnessing the planes crash into the World Trade Center influenced Way's life to the extent that he decided to start a band.[4] Way wrote the song "Skylines and Turnstiles" to express his feelings about September 11th. Shortly thereafter, Ray Toro was called up and asked to join the band because at the time Way couldn't sing and play the guitar at the same time.[5] The first recording sessions were done in Pelissier's attic, where the songs "Our Lady of Sorrows" (formerly called "Bring More Knives") and "Cubicles" were recorded. Frank Iero revealed that the band finished the lyrics to "Best Day Ever" moments before they arrived at the studio to begin recording. The band refers to those sessions as The Attic Demos. Mikey Way, the younger brother of Gerard, loved the demo so much that he decided to join the band after dropping out of college. My Chemical Romance signed with Eyeball Records, where Pencey Prep and Thursday recorded. While with Eyeball Records the band met Frank Iero, the lead vocalist and guitarist for Pencey Prep. After Pencey Prep broke up in 2001-02, Frank joined My Chemical Romance, just days before the band's debut album was recorded.[5] Three months after the formation of the band they recorded their debut album, I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love, subsequently released in 2002 on Eyeball Records. Despite only joining the band a few days before the album recording sessions began, Iero played guitar on two of the tracks, "Early Sunsets Over Monroeville," and the other being "Demolition Lovers." During this time, the band was booked at the infamous venue, Big Daddy's, where they began to receive mainstream attention.

Well its episode number 2 and i have decided on my 2nd favorite band
At The Drive In Alittle info (from wiki)
was an influential American post-hardcore band from El Paso, Texas, that was active from 1993 to 2001.
Here's the best part of the life cycle of At the Drive In - The Breakup (not because they broke up but how they did)
In January 2001, At the Drive-In traveled to Australia for the Big Day Out. While performing in Sydney, they left partway through their set after telling the spectators in attendance to calm down and observe the safety rules (moshing). After the refusal of the crowd, frontman Cedric Bixler-Zavala told the crowd, “You're a robot, you're a sheep!” and proceeded to bleat at them several times before the band left the stage around 15 minutes into their set. "I think it's a very, very sad day when the only way you can express yourself is through slam-dancing," he proclaimed. Later that day, teenager Jessica Michalik died of asphyxiation during a crowd surge in the now infamous Limp Bizkit Big Day Out set.
Why I Like Them
Well, My sister showed me them when i was about 11 an so this sort of music was new to me and so I really liked the beat and the actual music, but later on at about 14 (I forgot about them for about 2 years) and listened to what the singer was actually saying and really took a custom to it
Well my new world to show you music I like, most of which you probably never heard of , or at least, heard of but never listened to. Week One begins with my favorite band Jethro Tull
Well lemme start off with who they are , besides gods. (got it off wiki)
Jethro Tull are a British rock group formed in 1967-1968. Their music is marked by the distinctive vocal style and lead flute work of front man Ian Anderson. Initially playing blues rock with an experimental flavour, they incorporated elements of classical, folk and 'ethnic' musics, jazz and art rock into their music. Why I like them
I like them because well, they make you think in thier music and it fun to listen and think what THEY were thinking when they made it like one song called "thick as a brick" is about the band "leader", vocals and flutist Ian Anderson life up to about the 70s and he has done a WONDERFUL job at expressing his life and its hardships.
Recommendations
"Thick As A Brick" ( its 43 min long, but its worth it )
"AquaLung"
"Too old to rock, but too young to die"
"Locomotive Breath"
"Fat Man" (hilarious song)
