NIN could easily be on my list. My list was far closer to 20 bands I like than my top 20.
 
I tend to follow artists through their whole careers, so I am doubling up and more on some bands with common key personnel as I consider them to be essentially the same thing.

The Afghan Whigs/Twilight Singers/Greg Dulli
Mike Patton/Faith No More/Tomahawk/Peeping Tom

The Prodigy
The Almighty
Live

I don't know if I can get a top 20, but what I do like:

The Offspring - Been listening to thier new album a lot lately. Very good comeback.
Linkin Park
Green Day
Credence Clearwater Revival
The Beatles
Rolling Stones
Metallica
Lostprophets
Foo Fighters
The Who
Queen
Guns N' Roses
Seether
Godsmack
System of a Down (And I've heard a song from the spin off group Scars on Broadway which I liked)

I don't know, I'm really getting into the hard rock alternative stuff that you'd here on Octane or The Sqizz if you have Sirius or XM (respectively). Ranking current bands is tough since it depends on the music. For example, I've heard some of Saliva's stuff as well as stuff from Trapt, but I don't know the longevity of those bands nor have I heard more stuff from them. I also listen to country but in terms of bands, there aren't that many. Mostly of them are solo artists.

I'm looking to fill my Itunes library with more hard rock (Too much pop and country and indie artists that I'm starting not to like such as a Seattle Group called Long Winters) stuff so if anyone has any suggestions, I'm listening. :)
 
The Doors.

(The End)

(Really, I mostly listen to film scores and jazz artists... I have a White Stripes album, and a few other CDs, but none that I could immediately list as my "favorite").
 
Rush
King's X
Queensryche
Faith No More
Iron Maiden
Old Metallica
Dream Theater
Savatage
Led Zeppelin
Black Sabbath
Guns n Roses
Mr. Bungle

Manowar
Overkill
Soundgarden
Alice in Chains
Def Leppard
ACDC
 
Only twenty eh? Well I'll have a go......

1. Gary Numan
2. Jean Michel Jarre
3. Sparks
4. Def Leppard
5. Queen

Then in no particular order:

Abba
New Order
The Human League
Rush
Depeche Mode
Roxette
Clannad
The Stranglers
XTC
Blondie
Bon Jovi
O.M.D

The Tragically Hip (seriously look these guys up if you like rock\classic rock and haven't heard of 'em)

One of the best pieces of advice I've taken away from this board, in 7 years on here. Thanks again, Canadave! :D tomalak301, based on the rest of your list, I'd encourage you to take the man's advice. I know I certainly am glad I did. I started listening to them about what? 5 or 6 months ago, Dave? And with the possible exception of the time about 6 1/2 years ago when someone told me told me to give Babylon 5 a try, this is the most valued piece of advice I've ever received on this board.

Still mystifies me why these guys are so huge in Canada but they've never made it down here. IMO, they are all kinds of awesome. :techman:



My list:

Top 5:

1. Bruce Springsteen
2. Pearl Jam
3. Bon Jovi
4. The Tragically Hip
5. U2

Others include (in no particular order): Queen, Journey, Fuel, REM, Alanis Morissette, The Goo Goo Dolls, Matchbox 20, The Beatles, The Eagles, Janis Joplin, Green Day, Nirvana, The Police, The Counting Crows, Prince, The Sam Roberts Band, Soundgarden, 3 Doors Down.

And even though they're just a baby band at this point, I do like Daughtry.
