[Adrolak]

1.) Tool, APC, any of Maynards stuff
2.) Arctic Monkeys
3.) Five Finger Death Punch
4.) Katatonia
5.) Novembers doom, nox arcana, arcana, Dark Sanctuary, that sort of thing.

Lately I've been favoring dark stuff, a lot of foreign stuff is great too, like Forseti, Artreista, Orom, and all of these are just a few. I also love NIN

 

[SecretAdmirer]

1) Fall Out Boy
2) Alexisonfire
3) Paramore

So many genres it's hard to choose just 5! I guess technically Lazy and Prof Green aren't bands but meh.
