And then I struggle. I like a lot of bands and I have several albums by each but for the most part my favourite artists are solo acts. I will list the next 14 acts in no particular order:
Byrds
Electric Light Orchestra
Steely Dan
Wings
Moody Blues
Queen
Roxy Music
Midnight Oil
Crowded House
Cold Chisel
Creedence Clearwater Revival
The Band
Abba
Pink Floyd (it was either them or Genesis & really I'm only talking about two albums but the songs mean more to me than Genesis' songs).
I love Bob Seger but to me the Silver Bullet Band is his backing band.
Twenty is a lot of bands! When it comes to "favorites" - the bands I adore - it's down to:
My "Big three":
Eagles
Fleetwood Mac
U2
Some other faves (in alphabetical order)
Alabama
Bon Jovi
Chicago
Coldplay
Duran Duran
Evanescence
Foo Fighters
Genesis
Green Day
INXS
Matchbox 20
Maroon 5
The Monkees
R.E.M.
Tears for Fears
The Temptations
Train
I left off Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers because I wasn't sure that would count as a "group." Same goes for Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band, and Huey Lewis and the News.
The top four are at the top for a reason. Otherwise, there's no particular order.
Eagles
The Band
Crosby, Stills & Nash
Pink Floyd
Led Zeppelin
The Smiths
Metallica
The Kinks
Fleetwood Mac
The Beatles
Allman Brothers
Deep Purple
The Doors
Nirvana
The Beach Boys
The Chi-Lites
The Rolling Stones
The Byrds
The Who
Buffalo Springfield
you better put it all behind you, baby, 'cause life goes on
you keep carrying that anger, it'll eat you up inside--
It occurred to me that if I had been asked this in 1994 before the Eagles reformed, I would have included REM and Oasis on my list. While I still like the albums I have by both bands in my opinion neither of them ever lived up to their promise (fans of Automatic For The People will probably disagree with me but I thought REM started to decline after Out Of Time).
First I thought this simply ! It is not easy!
The only one what is sure is that I have 2 #1Bands!
No particular order after the first two bands!!!
Eagles
Genesis
Pink Floyd
Led Zeppelin
Dire Straits
Fleetwood Mac
U2
Cream
REM
Beatles
The Who
Red Hot Chilli Peppers
Crosby, Still & Nash
Queen
Stanfour
Ramones
Green Day
Metallica
Nirvana
Bee Gees/Deep Purple
