like your picks
Cream, best band to last 2 years or so, and they broke up because of a bad review in Rolling stone mag.
You don't like Band of Gyp.? I like them live better then the experience, yet they did have mitchell playing with them @ woodstock, but the all back trio was jimi's idea so I guess mitchell had to go 8)

Well I just can't pick a band to be the top, to many diff. styles, heck zeppelin had a diff. sound on each album, so they are you there on their own, so here is my list..

I agree in the Jazz bit...so many artists i'd like to name, but couldn't fit in a 5 list...

My favourites currently are:

* Jack Johnson
* John Butler Trio (Aussie band, although Butler himself is American)
* Dave Mann Collective (Aussie again)

Nope, never heard of 'em before. I'll check them out :D

I love Motorhead's lastest album "Inferno ". Oldschool riffs, quite heavy but also many great solos.

[SPAD]

The Mars Volta
INCUBUS
At The Drive-in
ALEXISONFIRE

Most of them are not that big but they are fucking crazy bands.

Anyone who likes Pink Floyd should check out The Mars Volta,they have some trippy effects and dub shit.

[alex_jean22]

Iron Maiden
AC/DC
Guns N'Roses
Kiss
Led Zeppelin
Metallica
Van Halen(for his solos)
Frank Sinatra
Ray Charles
James Brown
BigWig
Rancid
I listen to a lot of music styles and I like almost evrything except pop music that is too commercial and done in the intention to do money. I like especialy Iron Maiden because their songs are longs and have differents melodies in it. In evry song there's a guitar solo of at least one minute. I also like Guns N'Roses because their songs are at the perfect balance between soft and hardcore.

The Mars Volta
INCUBUS
At The Drive-in
