I don't think I could think of ten favorite rock bands. I sort of dislike rock.

On top of my list is a band called the Beatles. They were pretty good. Then Fleetwood Mac. They were all right.

Umm.....oh, I also like this guy named Van Morrison. He's kind of interesting.

Umm....can't......really.....think......of.......others......

Oh, yes---Jellyfish!

Doesn't it stand to reason that you could've included Robert Plant with Led Zeppelin and left a slot for another artist??

Anyway...mine are, really, in no particular order...including their solo works in with their band...so when I say "Beatles", that's individually AND collectively...or in the case of Eric Clapton, that would include the groups he was a member of Cream, Blind Faith, Yardbirds and Derek & The Dominoes, too...oh, and only considering artists in the rock genre:

Beatles
Rolling Stones
Eric Clapton
ZZ Top
Allman Bros Band
Little Feat
Jimi Hendrix
Bonnie Raitt
Santana
Bob Marely & The Wailers

But, other than the first five, the rest could change on a whim.

Just so you know, yeah this kinda stuff goes under the "chit chat" section.

1. Manfred Mann's Earth Band
2. The velvet underground
3. Pink Floyd
4. Tangerine dream
5. Led Zeppelin
6. Sandy Denny
7. Kirsty Maccoll
8. Heart
9. Jefferson airplane/starship

Faves as of today, could change at any time, in no particular order, etc.

jmn3 · #12 01-30-2003, 06:44 PM

In no particular order:

The Rolling Stones (Someone told me today they love classic rock, but hate the Stones....I didn't even think that statement was possible? The Stones ROCK..even at 60!)
Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band
The Police
Bon Jovi
Aerosmith
The Beatles (I'll include in here all solo efforts by the members, as well as Wings)
Eric Clapton (including his work in the various bands he's been in)
The Who
U2
Nelly*

*Okay, okay, the last one doesn't fit AT ALL....but I love Nelly! He's one of the very few rap artists I ever listen to.

I'll also mention in here how I am only 22 years old, and most of the bands/artists I listed (all of them, except for two) were around before I was born. I was just talking to someone at my internship today about kids my age and our music preference. We really have a bunch of crap now, and it seems that kids that really are into music, are into classic rock. Just a strange observation...considering our parents and grandparents had incredibly different ideas about what good music was.

Matchbox 20
Bruce & the E Street
