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..

top bands in no order...
Led Zeppelin
Black Sabbath (1970-1980)
Iron Maiden (1980-1993)
Cream
Yardbirds (Clapton, Beck and Page)
Deep Purple
Jimi Hendrix (all his bands after 1966)
Pink Floyd
Rage Against the Machine
Ozzy (with randy, lee and some zakk)

Too many artist to name.

My favorite band of all time is Depeche Mode, also a big fan of RHCP, but I like a bit of everythinng, except Im tottaly turned off by modern hiphop, and those white kids screaming in the mic playing the same cord on every song...like that sum41 shit and blink182.

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

[dingo]

Alot of rock fans here it seems - I used to like it when I was a teenager but seem to have grown out of it for some reason
My favourites currently are:

* Jack Johnson
* John Butler Trio (Aussie band, although Butler himself is American)
* Dave Mann Collective (Aussie again)
* Tammin Sursok, Bec Cartwright, Holly Valance (non of them can sing but they are hot so they are excused )

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

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.
