Obviously I left out Metallica (they're playing in their own league anyway), but while I really think that they're the greatest band of all time, for some reason I've stopped listening to them as much as I used to.
Anyway, ask me again tomorrow and the list given above might have changed at all positions.

Bent
And just so you guys think I'm one of you ...

Appreciate the warm welcome! No worries on the cookies, rain check.
That would be cool! First time saw Maiden was 98 in England (Virtual XI Tour). Folks naysay the Blaza Bayley era, I kinda liked Virtual XI. Last time was last year in Australia (on there own and headlining Soundfest). I am in the military and have been fortunate enough to see them on 4 continents over the years. 3 to go!
Haven't had a chance to see any of the other bands yet. I'm currently out in the Pacific and am waiting for them to come my way!
1. The Grateful Dead
2. The Grateful Dead
3. The Grateful Dead
4. The Grateful Dead
5. The Grateful Dead
Dark Star, bizitches!
Hmm this is a toughy. Over the years I have had many favorites because my tastes change as new artists and music are introduced or discovered. I will attempt to list 10 current favorites because I have always had problems following directions! These are listed in NO particular order of preference...
1. Unwound
2. Songs:Ohia/Magnolia Electric Co
3. Bonnie "Prince" Billie AkA Will Oldham
4. The Cure
5. Victory at Sea
6. Death Cab for Cutie/The Postal Service
7. The Album Leaf
8. Pinback
9. Portraits of Past
10. Minutemen
What I listen to is far too dependent on mood, company, situation and other factors for me to try to chose five "favorites". If you ask for five favorites in a particular genre I may be able to accommodate, but my tastes are far too varied to pick one type/band/whatever over another.
+1

I guessed Strange Fruit, straight off the bat, rather than The Very Thought Of You or All Of Me...
Whereas I find that this song perfectly represents my personal politics.
Hee hee!

It's so hard to pin down just 5, because I like so many bands for so many different reasons. Here are my five (currently) in no particular order, except for number one:
1. Iron Maiden
2. Styx
3. The Eagles
4. Judas Priest
5. Dio Era Rainbow
Albert King - for spearheading the movement from acoustic/Memphis to electric/Chicago blues.
Max Roach - for pioneering the use of persussion as an instrument instead of a metronome.
The Police - for resurrecting rock music and ushering it into the 80s.
Iron Maiden - for composing complex classical pieces and then playing them on electric guitars.
Crosby, Stills, and Nash - for somehow managing, for a while, to meld three of the greatest talents of their time into a seamless whole.
Well, my top five (or ten or eight hundred) haven't changed much since last I posted in this thread but here are five of the neatest things I've seen/heard on WPZO (otherwise known as the "What are you listening to as you browse the message boards?" thread) lately:
New Birth, Inc.--"I Can Understand It"
Judee Sill--"Jesus Was a Crossmaker"
Igor Stravinsky--The Rites of Spring
and, because I can't help but cheat
Nine Inch Nails
AFI
Tool
The Toadies
Kidney Thieves
I'm not sure I can narrow it down. Let's see.
Depeche Mode
Jeff Buckley
Led Zeppelin
The Beatles
Nine Inch Nails
Altai Kai
Miles Davis
Sigur Ros
Lou Reed
Tom Waits
Fleet Foxes
...this list is impossible! I need 50 slots.
Whoa blast from the past.
Hmm, most of the music I listen to now is instrumental/game music/synthetic stuff, but the bands I keep coming back to....
> Sonata Arctica
> Delain
> Kamelot
