i don't know about the beatles, they didn't move me... cuz to me they were yesterday's backstreetboys. then again their music did get better when they started to dress like hippies.

How about top 5?
1) Rolling Stones (even though they are turning me off big time these days!)
2) Pink Floyd
3) Led Zep
4) Dire Straits
5) Neil Young (CSNY)

But then there's CCR, Santana, Steely Dan, AC/DC. I think every one of my favorite songs is a masterpiece when I hear / play it. Does anybody else dig the White Stripes like I do right now—
What range!

I think the members of Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd are demigods in their own rights, and they completely mastered the sounds of rock and roll. The third on my list, which is like the celery on a fancy Italian dish in comparison, would have to be Black Sabbath. Black Sabbath is by no means a personal favorite, they just mastered the art. I kinda like 'em. CCR, Bad Company, the Scorions and Rush-- all of which came later-- are higher on the list of bands I listen to most often.

Can't even pick a Zep favorite. Grew up ignoring them b/c Mick Jagger was much more exciting to me as a 12-year old (I started listening/escaping into music as a fifth grader).
Robt Plant grossed me out a bit. I never liked him for some reason. HOWEVER...My last boyfriend (a most excellent Capricorn drummer & engineer)said that he just "knew" growing up that LZ was "IT" for him (even though he loves everything from funk to country), and I wonder why I have always liked them & their music but never really was more devoted than watching The Song Remains the Same & listening to the 4-disc set. I absolutely am amazed by their talent and agree that they are demi-gods. However again, the Final Cut by PF may go down in history as my favorite all-time listening album.
Ahhh...if this could only be a job for me...playing my favorite songs for my favorite people! (Don't think DJs actually get to do this). Love "Long as I can See the Light" by CCR; Learned how to love "Rock You Like a Hurricane" by the Scorps after a few years, and listened to Subdivisions (Signals?) by Rush as a youngster.
It has to have a "kick" in my opinion...something different to catch my attention.
Also loving the whole Bluegrass thing currently. And then there's so much more.

By the way, I heard "WarPigs" the other night and was floored by how young Ozzie sounded!
