Not in order + there are more but I am tired

 

I forgot to mention the point of the post was to get your lists

 

Well I'd have to agree with you, but not with City High, Afroman...how the heck do they fit in...

 

I flirted with a bit of rap and Afro man is comic relief (honest his album is really good content wise) and City High is deep and lyrically interesting.

 

Sorry to hear about the rap...pearl jam, led zepplin, doors, creedence clearwater revival, perfect circle, metallica, dashboard confessional, aerosmith...

 

Keep an open mind thats like saying all rock can be sumed up by Spice Girls take a good look before you judge but nice list.

 

Pretty much all the old band listed, but what about Janis, Dead, Jimi & Greatful Dead?

We shoud say a list of 10...

MadCapSyd's informative list was WAY hard to read, format wise...

And to see the unusual juxtaposition of Avril Lavigne and Frank Zappa in the same list is still quite jarring...

My favorites...

Radiohead (the best band not mentioned in this thread up to this point)
Wilco (the 2nd best, and quite possibly the "American Radiohead.")
Ozric Tentacles (the weirdest band not in this thread)
Ben Harper (a beautiful, talented person and man)
Gillian Welch (one of the finest singer/songwriters currently producing)
The Strokes (I like this band's "smart aleck" sensibility)
Bob Dylan (masterful...what else to say?)
Sound Tribe Sector 9 (great "late night" band)
John Coltrane (wanted to have at least one jazz selection)
Barefoot Manner (my favorite "regional" band... Hank and the Boys KICK!)

These are the current 10 bands that I have the most musical attachment or relation to. This list will be different next month, as several will rotate. Radiohead, Wilco, Gillian and the boys from Barefoot will still be on the list, for sure.

 

Well, here I go...
The Who
Pink Floyd
Led Zeppelin
The Doors
CSN(& sometimes Y)
Janis Joplin
& believe it or not, Billy Joel

 

Billy Joel is good.

 

I can't say I like bush but Counting Crows are still my favorite band Adam's lyrics are from the heart and his voice is amazing.

 

Yeah, I think he's a great songwriter...and piano man...and harmonica man too, lol. I need more Billy Joel pride.

 

How can you have like a zillion favorites?

 

Ok here it goes:
The Beatles(I know so cliche)
Pink Floyd
Beck(not Jeff Beck)
Jimi Hendrix
The Clash
Bob Dylan
Jefferson Airplane
David Bowie
Theres more, but I don't want to name them all.
