The Five Best Bands/ People Leading a Band Ever

Okay, so today's post is heavily music based, and you should be aware that that was (and still would be) a tough list to write. Through my wide tastes, I've discovered a great many good artists, but I can't say as any of them really deserve a spot on the top five compared to another. A top five list may even be a bit of a farce, since numbering them and putting one band over the other really isn't my style, but I think you all deserve to know. I've decided not to number these due to the fact that any one of these bands could easily take the number one slot. So without further ado...

Disturbed- Visceral music is the name of the game here, and Disturbed delivers in spades. The tension in any one of their songs is so thick you could cut it with a knife, and in this case that's a good thing. Throughout any one of their four albums, they may let up ever so slightly, but they NEVER lose sight of the ultimate goal- shock and awe. These guys have the right idea, and so long as they keep their style they're likely to churn out four more excellent albums.

Alter Bridge- This band is incredible. Between the lyrics, the emotion, and the music, there's enough awesomeness to wrap around the Earth twice. So far they only have two albums out, but it still sounds like they have incredible tenure in the music industry (partially due to one of the band members being of former Creed fame). Watch out for them, they'll make a bang (and already have) in the music industry.

Linkin Park- My god, what to say about this excellent band? It's only some of the best music I've ever heard in my life. With every lyric, every song, every album even, Linkin Park continues to churn out incredible music (and I do mean churn) that's rough-and-tumble yet ever so incredibly visceral, and makes it all fit neatly into an amazing piece of art. Hybrid Theory had almost all of its songs turned into hits on the radio.

Pantera- It may be a matter of taste, but Pantera is quite possibly the greatest band of the 90's. They single-handedly revived the metal industry at a time when it was unpopular with Cowboys From Hell in 1991 and Vulgar Display of Power in 1992 (both of which I own; I have their entire discography, which is the only band besides Disturbed and Creed I do of). It's a brand of music all its own, and yet it still sounds incredible and awesome. Props to Dimebag Darrel for making his mark on the music industry, for which the previous three bands wouldn't exist without. Cemetary Gates is most likely one of the most moving songs I've ever heard in my life.

Ozzy Osbourne- Both as the lead singer of Black Sabbath and in his solo endeavor, Ozzy blazed circles around the rest of the competition. Ozzy wasn't the first to be awesome- The Beatles took that award many times over- but he was simply too good to be ignored. Sparking controversy wherever he went, he's most definately one of my favorite artists altogether. Three songs of EXTREMELY good caliber to note are No More Tears, Flying High Again, and Fire in the Sky. Yes, I could've said Crazy Train, but that's lost its touch due to being overused. These three never stop being emotional to me no matter how long I listen to them.

And that's my list of the five best bands/ people leading a band ever. Hope you enjoyed reading it!
