Tool had the #1 spot right next to Pearl Jam for me, but they dropped to
#2 a few years ago. I am just one of those 'I like Opiate and Undertow
most' kind of Tool fans. I think the other albums are no longer 'grunge'
or 'songs'. It's almost symphonic to me now, and I hate symfo. I still
like them a lot, but I feel much more for Pearl Jam. That's not just the
music, but the whole of the band, the fans, the memories and the music.

On #2 Tool is accompanied by many other bands. I can mention a few but
I'm afraid I forget to mention all the others. Just some: Ramones,
Lemonheads, The Cooper Temple Clause, Blur, Iggy Pop, Ash, Foo Fighters,
Faith No More, Nirvana, The Beatles, Alice in Chains, The Pixies.

groetjes,
Mirella :)

well, pj is probably my fave, but the shortlist of the other bands i
really like are as follows--

* led zep- all four members are vital to the band; there could've been
no replacements.

* guster- it's refreshing to find a band that doesn't rely so much on
a wailing electric guitar.

* r.e.m.- a varied and multi-talented band. most people respect at
least one phase or another of this band's development.

Right now I can honestly say that The Foo Fighters has taken my number one
spot. Their new album is fucking unbelieveable from start to finish, and I
have yet to find a Foo Fighters song that I don't like. With the Four studio
albums I have two cds worth of b-sides and covers and they are almost all
I'm listening to at the moment.

Second and third place are filled by Tool and Pearl Jam respectively.
Filling out the top ten are Metallica, Sevendust, Zeppelin, Manson, Neil
Young, Local H, and Rage Against the Machine.

All of these selections are subject to change without warning or notice.

Followed closely by the Mick Taylor era of the Rolling Stones.

After that:

Queen
Black Crowes

No one rides higher on this list than Pearl Jam, but the others have to be:

Led Zeppelin
U2
Soundgarden,
and from a slightly smaller market,
Rainer Maria

oh, and a little band from england called Radiohead

when Pearl Jam is active, they are far and away my favorite band...but once the
tour is over, I find myself becoming PJ-like obsessed with other bands, like
the Black Crowes, U2, Reel Big Fish etc
and then there's the Bosstones, who would be 1A to Pearl Jam's 1

I'd have to first say to you Zepplin fans....I seen Led Zepplin, easter
sunday 1974 or 75 the complete band.

Train does a fantastic cover of "ramble on"

I also seen Neil Young in 1977 or 78 on the "rust" tour which is now on DVD,
however, since I've never seen starwars......I didn't know until just
recently that the red eyed roadies were from star wars I always thought they
were monks....DOH!
1) PJ
2) counting crows
3) goo goo dolls
I like all kinds of music....based on my mood :)
My son would go with
1) Korn
2) Nirvana
3) PJ
4) stones
5)Aerosmith

Pearl Jam has been my # 1 for almost 10 years now, no wavering. My 2nd
favourite band would probably be AIC.

Yeah, IV was my first real entry into the rock scene, not counting Duran Duran.
lol. Hey, it was the 80s! But IV is still my favorite Zeppelin album.

for someone who buys as much music as i do, this would be too hard to
pick, (and probably kind of irrelevant!) ;) ... but i guess based on
longevity (ie... bands i've consistantly listened to for the last 7 - 10
years), it would be nirvana, pearl jam, tool and radiohead...

III is damn good. The Immigrant Song used to be my favourite track. Now,
That's The Way gets that distinction. Was never a big fan of Tangerine for
some reason, but now I love that song. Oh well.
