I realize that "Flatly lie for no reason" isn't one of the choices - unless the Dio/Iron Maiden choice was meant to embody that.

"You realize that your favorite band is waaaay to famous so you blurt out something else to show that you're more prog than everyone....a sort of dominance"

anonymous popster 1:  "jimmy, what is your favorite band?"

me:  (aside to myself)...oh no, they'll think I like Abacab if I say Genesis, sh*t what do I do?  I must take this time to assert my proggness.  Ah let's see here....Van der Graaf?  nah thats no good.  Quella Vecchia Locanda?  no way too hard to pronounce.  Balletto di Bronzo?...now there's a mouthful.  Man, this is a toughy...

me: (speaking to anonymous popster)...Samla Mammas Manna!!!

me:  (aside)   hhehehehe Evil%20Smile   I'm sooo prog

i would probably show off by saying sth that would make me look sensitive and stuff, like Anathema or Nick Cave or Tindersticks or Cannibal Corpse...

sometimes amateurs turn us on, even more...

I don't have a 'favourite' band but if pushed for an answer I tell them Van der Graaf Generator.They then usually wish that they had never asked.

Do 'The Stanley' otherwise I'll thrash you with some rhubarb.

I chose the last option. Because that's what I reply, if I don't say my current favourite(s).

It depends on the person. If he/she have similar tastes to me, I say some of my favorite bands. If not, I just say, "so many of them, like Pink Floyd, Genesis, Metallica" etc. or some other bands that are well known that I like.

 Truthfully. Then 90% of people gets lost. Even if they are rather well known bands on this site.

Why not answer truthfully? If someone asks you who your favorite band is, odds are they'd like to know. Maybe you'll turn them on to something new they they never would have heard about otherwise. You can always explain with a single sentence so that the other person doesn't feel stupid. ("They're this really cool progressive band from Italy!")
I generally don't like to patronize people because I wouldn't want others to do it to me.
Fortunately, I don't have this problem because my favorite band is Queen.

I name a relatively famous band that i like just easier but i do hate where it may lead because alot of the time people assume that band represents everything you listen to
