My top 5 would go as follows:

  1. 311
  2. Bela Fleck and the Flecktones
  3. Blues Traveler

  5. Beatles
3
  1. Operation Ivy
  2. Beatles
  3. Rancid
  4. Pink Floyd
  5. Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band (really there are about 5 or 6 bands I could put here, but why not Bob?)
4

Radiohead
The Clash
The Pixies
Pink Floyd
Rolling Stones

I would put Jeff Buckley and PJ Harvey here, but they’re not exactly ‘bands’.

5
  1. Belle and Sebastian
  2. The White Stripes
  3. Throwing Muses
  4. The Pixies
  5. Wire

The first three are in stone. The last two shift constantly.

  1. Yello
  2. Pink Floyd
  3. Talking Heads
    4…

Hmm…

4…

I can’t think of any others, really.

I’m sure I’ve responded to a thread like this before, and I bet that if I that thread later, I’ll see that my list has changed. Whatever, that was then, this is now… for now.

In no order…
The Minutemen
X
Split Lip Rayfield
The Rezillos
The Detroit Cobras

I guess I should have said the same thing. :slight_smile: It’s easy to get three, but expanding it to five (or ten) is more difficult.

Los Angeles Philharmonic.

Does that qualify as a “band”? (There’s more to music than just “bands,” you know. . .)
