Genesis, Talking Heads, Isley Brothers, Dream Theater, The Tragically Hip (definitely second that one), Joe Satriani, Counting Crows, Jane's Addiction, Tool and (of course) the Beatles :-)
The Beatles,Floyd,Led Zep,Petty,Young,Hoople,Doors,Moody Blues,REO,Queen... thats 11 I could go on and on as I have no "fav"
grateful dead, who, rolling stones, black sabbath, zeppelin, allman bros band, ac/dc, metallica (before they sold out), phish, U2 btw: the beatles are NOT r&r. R&R needs to jam, the beatles never jammed. they wrote great songs, but a R&R band must have live energy--apple rooftop doesn't cut it.
Stones, Little Feat, Beatles, Steely Dan, Led Zeppelin. Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Clapton, Doobies & Allman Brothers. Tough call....
Def Leppard, Led Zeppelin, The Who, Van Halen, The Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, U2, Boston, Kiss, and The Eagles....in that order (Journey would be a very close #11 for me, Pink Floyd #12, The Police #13, Deep Purple #14, The Moody Blues would be #15...Blue Oyster Cult might be 16. CCR, ELO, Pearl Jam, Nirvana, and Collective Soul might round out the top 21, for me).............................Those are the top 10 as I like them, PERSONALLY. As far as who I think FUTURE HISTORY will regard as "best", that'll likely be a toss up between The Stones and The Who, with Zeppelin and Floyd right behind. The Beatles were British Pop IMO, but I suppose history will always think of them as #2 regarding sales.....right behind Garth Brooks that is!.........heh heh heh heh!!!!
