I like so many different bands and styles I don't think I could pick 5 favorites. It depends a lot on my mood, too.
Was that Richard and Linda Thompson (married) or Richard Thompson and Linda Thompson (divorced)? No, not at all acrimonious, where'd you hear that?
Their son Teddy's making a name for himself too.
Oh, oh, and James McMurtry, but that's just cause his father's such a good writer :P
All that punk rock and no Bad Religion? I'm sad.
[Facepalm]

Those guys are some serious nostalgia for me there. Disclaimer came out when I was in high school, and The Poison came out the year after I graduated.
I don't want to type all of them, It'll be easier to add you to my circles on Google+ so you can look at my music library.
