Top 5 Bands

[Anthony]

Since I have been posting more here (since I met rich I guess), I have a good handle on who everyone is, and I have an idea what some of your influences/favorite bands are, but I got a lot it confused by now. It just helps me put things together if you could put a top 5 or 10 list (and maybe the genre overall if its really obscure)

My personal list:
-David Bowie
-Queen
-Police
-Velvet Underground
-Pixies

Not terribly obscure, outside of that I tend to prefer Proto-Punk and early 70's British Glam rock. Thanks to anyone who puts there list in here.

[Josh]

For me right now:

Ramones
The Vapors
Screeching Weasel
Hot Water Music
One Man Army

is about all that matters.

[Samba De Amiga]

Well, my list (in no particular order) would go a little like this:

(1) Pink Floyd
(2) Radiohead
(3) Mr. Bungle
(4) R.E.M.
(5) AC/DC

[Shin Johnpv]

In no particular order

Guns N Roses
Stone Temple Pilots
Led Zeppelin
Jimmi Hendrix
Frank Sinatra

[Cowutopia]

I have no idea, I love all sorts of shit.

The Wrens
the Smoking Popes
Modest Mouse
Big D and the Kids Table
and
Spoon

are my top 5 most listened to bands though, according to my last.fm charts, but honestly I haven't listened to the middle three of those five in a while.
The Vapors are fucking great.

The Vapors are fucking great.

Under appreciated and ahead of their time.
Its a shame that more songs didn't come out of this band. The bass player in this group had a lot to do with why I play the way I do.

[Punky Skunk]

Smashing Pumpkins
Unwound
Six Finger Satellite
Immolation
Broadcast

[YellerDog]

Presently leaning on:

Dave Brubeck Quartet
Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention
Tom Lehrer
Belle & Sebastian
The Beatles

...but my taste is all over the map. I expect that list to be Prince, Van Halen, The Decemberists, Don Ho, and Sir Mix-a-Lot in two months.

[Grave]

The Mountain Goats and Queen will always be my top two. But everything else changes too much for me to nail anything down. Lately listening to a lot of Shellac, Type O Negative and Uncle Tupelo.

[Samba De Amiga]

Presently leaning on:

Dave Brubeck Quartet
Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention
Tom Lehrer
Belle & Sebastian
The Beatles

I love Frank Zappa. I went through a period of a couple months where all I would listen to in my car was Thing-Fish.
