3. Rolling Stones
4. The Who
5. Jimi Hendrix

I have been fortunate enough to see my top 4 live. Zeppelin reunion in London 2007 being the crown jewel and Floyd on the Pulse tour was my first concert in 95.

Today's music in general...it sucks in comparison.

Pink Floyd
Zeppelin
Pearl Jam
Old Metallica
Widespread Panic

In no particular order:
Peter tosh
Mighty mighty bosstones
Johnny cash
Social distortion
The bouncing souls

1. Red Hot Chili Peppers
2. 311
3. Pepper
4. Nappy Roots
5. Incubus

I was fortunate enough to see everyone on my list...

Tangerine Dream in San Francisco in the early 90's. Pink Floyd on the Animals tour in the 70's, SRV in the late 80's. And Genesis in the late 70's. Unfortunately after Gabrial left but they were still playing all the PG era songs.

I also say Aussie Pink Floyd a couple years ago playing the full DSOTM and WYWH albums. Very professional and the closet thing to live Floyd anyone will ever be able to see again.

I only have one favorite that is always playing. Never get sick of hearing their stuff. The rest of my music goes on rotation depending on how I'm feeling.

O.A.R....!

It's hard to choose a favorite Floyd album...Animals is pure genius and I know that was a hell of a show. Gilmour's lead on Dogs is one of my favorites.

my fav above all else Neil Young .

No laughing!!

1.Steely Dan
2.Beatles
3.Stan Getz
4.Mozart
5.Merle Haggard

I'd prolly smuggle a disco/old school cd mix if I thought I could get away with it :D

1. Ghostland Observatory
2. Pretty Lights
3. Incubus
4. Ratatat
5. Mumford & Sons

Little new school for you guys.

1) The Strokes

Chic! I'm a relatively young guy but as guitar player and just a fan of good musicians, Nile Rodgers is a hell of a player.

Oh and +1 for whoever mentioned Phoenix. They are one hell of a band
And I'd also mention Phish, as they have such a huge variety of decent and great songs

Miles Davis
Jay-Z
Bob Marley
A Tribe Called Quest
Michael Jackson

You have great taste in music :D Absolutely love me some Miles Davis. I have sampled a ton of stuff from him.

I'm very eclectic so it's hard to nail it down to just 5, so I'll go with these three for now

The Who
Wilco
Stevie Ray Vaughan

Thanks Jaybee. Incidentally I still rock your 80's mix every now and again.

Van Halen - Have seen them a dozen times starting with Dave on the Diver Down tour.
Chris Isaak - Been listening to him for 25 years. One of those musicians that I like just about every song he writes.
Randy Rogers band - My most recent favorite. Been a staple on my ipod rotation for the last year. "Texas Country" is it's own genre.
The Cars - My very first rock concert back in 1982
Foo Fighters - had listened to them for years, but really just discovered them 3 years ago. Much like Chris Isaak, I like everything Dave puts out.

I found this really difficult to narrow down to just 5 acts.
