Vote in the Poll

right now it's more accurate to say i don't have a favorite band. BoC were the most recent holders of that title but Cusco is fierce competition.

uhh, this is hard because I LOVE autechre a lot. I wish Twoism had an Autechre forum..I guess BoC is one of my favorite tied with Ae.

[Twoist]

BoC are my favourite, hands down. Been that way for 3 or 4 years now.

[jakestott]

Definitely my favorite band. No one can create sweet melodies like these guys! Been a fan since 2005, and I'll be listening to their music till the day i die.

[hexagon son]

i voted yes, but its getting pretty close between them and few other artists now.

[dave_from_2001]

I don't think they are a band really, say like the Magic Band.

[Archrival]

BOC are the pound for pound greatest of all time in my book.

[AFX.NL]

Yes.

[Vexille]

I have lots of favorites, BoC is one of them.

I mean who needs The Killers, Kooks, Kings of Leon, Oasis (who had a few decent hits in the 90s) , Maximo Park, La Roux, Lady GaGa, Arctic Monkeys, Pussycat Dolls, Linkin Park, Enter Shikari, Fall Out Boy when you've got the great emotional music of BoC!

I hope that isn't sarcasm because I agree with every word.

They were for a few years, but it faded with time.

[TrippyTrinity]

BoC are one of my favorites, but the lack of new material has me searching for something new.

They vie for my top with Autechre, probably. And perhaps Pat Metheny if you can call him a band.

well, twoism is a BoC forum after all. But hey, we've got all those great threads in 'This Random Sound.' There's also the Autechre forum on WATMM, it's not as bad as the AFX forum.

My all-time favorite artists are BoC, Ae, Black Moth, AFX and Plaid. Apparently Warp pretty much owns me. I like a lot of stuff, but thats my top tier.

Haha, i'm not being sarcastic, don't worry!

Way too many bands I love to say BoC is my favourite. Probably my most consistently listened to and enjoyed electronic one though. Plenty of Ae, Aphex, Plaid etc. that also works for me.

Always used to be My Bloody Valentine and A.R. Kane, and before that Cocteau Twins. If someone put a gun to my head and made me choose a current band I'd say Radiohead - perfect balance of greatness both live and in the studio. Their desire to experiment and keep things interesting for themselves is what really clinches it.
