Sublime
Nirvana
Radiohead
Green Day
Foo Fighters

I know they might not be the best 5 ever, but in each band i've had an inspiration that pushed my appreciation for music higher.

1) AFI
2) Refused
3) Sparta
4) Transplants
5) Operation Ivy

U2
Pearl Jam
Clash
Led Zeppelin
Pink Floyd

Tori Amos is a top 5 artist to me, but not a band...PJ Harvey would be on the cusp as well

5. Limp Bizkit
4. Devo
3. Red Hot Chilli Peppers
2. Kid Rock and the Twisted Brown Trucker Band

And the number 1 band of all time (according to me)...

1. Nirvana - as you may have guessed from my name. RIP Curt Cobain

:D
Man, that's funny! Thanks for the morning chuckle! I needed it!
My top 5:
Styx
Bruce Springsteen
Collective Soul
Judas Priest
Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers
Not neccessarily in that order(although Styx is definately #1)

Concrete Blonde-A song for every mood, so you can feel right listening to them all of the time! This band to me is the total package. Excellent singer with amazing range, skillful guitarist who plays with pure feeling... Once I heard my first C.B. album, I was hooked, and there was no turning back.

Morphine-I'm a straight male, but the singer Mark Sandman (R.I.P)has one sexy voice. 2-string bass, drums, and sax is all this band needs to create the smoothest music you will ever hear.

Pearl Jam-Liked them even after they "changed." I'm always excited to hear what direction they are going in with each new record. Wouldn't it be boring if all their albums sounded like "Ten"?

Massive Attack-More than music... its a feeling. They will take you places you've never gone before.

Hmm, one more... this is always changing... its between Reverend Horton Heat, Jefferson Airplane, Janis Joplin, Cracker, KMFDM, Grant Lee Buffalo, Violent Femmes...
