Your Top Ten Fave Bands -or guess 'em

[eltee]

Too funny...I was going to say that Snow Patrol would be on your current fave list. Snow Patrol might show up on mine, which I hear I have to thank someone for...Wondering if it is on his...(sorry for the run-on).

DUDE, he discovered Snow Patrol FIRST!     :p  
 (though I don't know that it means it's in his top ten...) [/b]

Despite the fact that The Dead are at the top of my list, I'm not really a fan of "jam bands".
 
 The Grateful Dead
 R.E.M.
 Ramones
 Psychedelic Furs
 The Slickee Boys
 David Bowie
 X
 Husker Du
 The Rolling Stones
 Bob Dylan
 
 It varies depending on my mood, but this is pretty accurate.  The Grateful Dead and REM are miles above the rest.

[chaz]

Fave all time in no order:
 Replacements
 Stooges
 Husker Du
 Afghan Whigs
 Misfits
 Beatles
 Bowie
 Modern Lovers
 Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
 Radiohead
 
 ...but as with the top 5 album thread that's off the top of my head and I'd probably answer a little different an hour from now.

[mankie]

Without putting too much thought into it, here's my initial 10 best, in no specific order.
 
 Bowie
 Beautiful South/Housemartins
 Stranglers
 Ian Dury and the Blockheads
 Solas
 Waterboys
 Squeeze
 Smiths/Moz
 Joy Division/New Order
 Stone Roses
 
 
 I'm sure if I spent a little time I may tweak it a bit, but that's damn close.

[Venerable Bede]

ok, here are mine:
 
 gbv
 rem
 american analog set
 nick cave and the bad seeds
 built to spill
 pavement
 pink floyd
 spiritualized
 low
 sisters of mercy

[Sweetjoy]

These are all time faves. My major criteria is artists with a catalog of work including more than just one great album:
 
 Depeche Mode
 the Smiths
 Catherine Wheel
 Trembling Blue Stars
 Magnetic Fields
 Placebo
 Portishead
 PJ Harvey
 Pet Shop Boys/Erasure (can I do that?)
 James

[thirsty moore]

That's hilarious.  
 
 The first time I heard Getz/Gilberto I didn't know what to make of it.  It was so quiet.  The girl I was dating at the time, who played it for me, probably wanted to make out to something listenable.

 Dylan
 Bob Marley
 Tragically Hip
 Sleater-Kinney
 Fugazi
 The Wrens
 Superdrag
 Grateful Dead
 Segovia
 Minutemen

My top three:
 
 Rupert Holmes
 Crack the Sky
 Menudo

Thirsty:
 
 Sonic Youth
 Breeders
 Pixies
 Lime Spiders
 Finn Bros.
 Midnight Oil
 Paul Kelly & The Coloured Girls
 Ramones
 Mental As Anything
 Black Sabbath

[Bags]

Gotta say, this is super fun.  I'm listening to Superdrag now because they're on a list or two.  Great, great stuff.
 
 Also, I think so many of the lists are really good, and I find that every single list has at least a couple bands I think are great as well.  Really fascinating....
 
 That's the only problem with the lists, there are lots of bands I LOVE that can't make it up there.

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

What about the great Baltimore band Laughing Colors?

Did anybody watch Leno on Wednesday night, apparently John Davis, lead singer of Superdrag and more recently a god man, was on as part of Allison Moorer's band.
