Who would have thought that these could ever go together well? The Pixies, Grateful Dead, Pink Floyd, and Bob Dylan. I like alot of other bands but these are the ones that come to mind. If anyone trades bootlegs of any of these or anything else good contact me. ---

Right now I would have to say that my favorite band would have to be **Mudvayne** or **System Of A Down** ---

The Genesis line-up of the seventies. Pink Floyd is a good runner up. ---

Oh, toughie. (thinks) (thinks harder) (even harder) (head pops off, rolls on floor with shocked expression as body slumps to the ground) (head squeezes a few words out before blood loss takes effect) The Beatles, especially **Revolver**. ---

For me it varies between the Stones, CCR and The Who, but right now I like The Who the best because Iā€™m seeing them in concert with 3 friends in August as my birthday gift. Best birthday gift ever. ---

Ooh, I was just thinking about this the other day. I was thinking, rather simply, ā€œWhich group is THE BEST?ā€ I decided that ā€œthe bestā€ really just means the one that has the most songs that I like. So, as much as I love Air, Heart and Bellyā€¦ Led Zeppelin The Beatles and Simon & Garfunkel (they count, right?) are the only groups whose box sets can bring home the bacon when Iā€™m stuck on a desert island. The odd thing is, I really wouldnā€™t classify my musical tastes as rock 'n roll or 70s. Who knew? ---

OK. Itā€™s not possible to narrow this down to one band, so Iā€™m going to list a few. **The Smiths** for those alchoholic afternoons. **The Pogues** for those alchoholic evenings. **Marah** itā€™s jangly music and I love it. **Jay Farrar** his voice is haunting **The Cure** for when Iā€™m alone ---
