I saw this thread and couldn't resist. I love both AFI and Blaqk Audio, but AFI is definitely my favorite. I started with AFI, and Blaqk Audio kind of fills the void since AFI hasn't done anything new for a while, and their last album wasn't my favorite.
I noticed a few people saying that liking AFI was a phase for them, but I'm a lifetime fan of AFI. They will always be my favorite band. My favorite album is Black Sails In The Sunset, but it's a close race with The Art Of Drowning and Sing The Sorrow. Decemberunderground was alright, I wasn't too fond of Crash Love. I have to be in a certain mood to listen to their old albums like Answer That And Stay Fashionable, for example, but I enjoy all of their music nonetheless. They've also done some great Misfits covers, which I love because The Misfits are another of my favorite bands.
I could go on about this forever because I'm the worst/best kind of fan. I'm that weird person at a party that goes on a drunken rant about the Clandestine mystery.
AFI is okay. I like some of their songs. Miss Murder (with the Prelude of course!), Girl's Not Grey, and Silver And Cold are their only awesome songs in my opinion.
and the best way for me to make friends is through the eternal fire.
Anyone? xD
