If I had to give a top ten (considering I am only 22 so my knowledge is still expanding). Stones obviously my number 1 but aside from them, my top 10 in no certain order:

Faces
Ronnie Wood Solo
Ronnie Lane(and slim chance band)
Alex Chilton
Lou Reed
Chuck Berry
Bo Diddley
Gram Parsons
Beach Boys
Big star

I dabble with Bowie's earlier stuff for those wondering why low mention rate.
I'm surprised there is less Lou Reed and VU stuff on here!

Disappointing to see how many like other groups as much as or more than the Stones...this is why they owe the fan base nothing. Most Rolling Stones fans are classic rock fans and would take The Beatles, Led Zep and/or other act. There are very few true Stones fans left.

That's utter bollocks.

Agreed. There's nothing more boring than a person's favourite bands being "The Stones, The Who and The Beatles".

What an interesting taste you have!

Being Canadian, I've always liked the following Canadian acts over the years:

RUSH

April Wine

Tragically Hip

Mine would be 1 Stones 2 Tom Petty 3 Buddy Guy 4 Allman Brothers 5 Van Morrison 6 Clapton 7 Santana 8 Gary Clark Jr 9 Boz Skaggs 10 I dearly miss BB king, James Brown, Joe Cocker

I quite enjoyed on last night's CONAN—just because it was kooky—the Doors' Hello, I Love You duetted by Boy George and Jack Black with Robbie Krieger on guitar.

The Flamin' Groovies

noone mentions Dire Straits ? Knopfler was incredible ! best guitarplayer in rock fantastic, songwriter as well.

Beatles are "one of a kind" noone can argue that.

Jimi : fantasic.

and then my sohns band Sigur Rós is unique

and my daughters band Mammut is promishing.

Man, I listen to soooooooooo many bands and such a variety, but my Top 5 would probably look something like this - the Top 3 are a lock:

1. Stones
2. AC/DC
3. Springsteen
4. Matisyahu
5. Bob Marley

From there to round out the Top 10 would be really tough. I still love my 80's Hair Bands that I grew up with (Def Lep, GnR, Bon Jovi, Cinderella, Bang Tango, Bulletboys, Tesla, Motley Crue, Whitesnake, Britny Fox, Ratt, Gorky Park, Poison, Winger, White Lion, Great White, Skid Row, The Bangles, etc.); The Black Crowes; Moon Taxi; Alan Jackson; Composer John Williams; Neil Young; The Eagles; Metallica; Mellencamp; Finger Eleven; Garth; Fleetwood Mac; Third Day; The Black Eyed Peas; Rihanna; Ozzy; Tom Petty; Gary Allan; Blake Shelton; The Who; Will.I.Am; No Doubt; Nirvana; Soundgarden; Stone Temple Pilots; Alice In Chains; Paul Simon/Simon & Garfunkel; Sheryl Crow; Beck; Big & Rich; Sara Evans; Shania; Madonna; Christina Aquilera; Shakira; Beyonce; Beastie Boys; Eminem; The Beatles; Aerosmith; POD; REM; Zach Brown Band; CCR; Billy Joel; Audioslave; Sinead O'Connor; Midnight Oil; Jet; Badfinger; Rusted Root; Cher; The Cult; Neil Diamond; Drivin-n-Cryin; Annie Lennox; Lenny Kravitz; The Wallflowers; Amy Winehouse; Adele; Roxette; Kiss; Buddy Holly; Brooks & Dunn; John Michael Montgomery; Janis Joplin; Jimi Hendrix; Green Day; Red Hot Chili Peppers; John Denver; Billy Idol; Frankie Valli & the Four Seasons; John Mellencamp; Led Zeppelin; The Ramones; ZZ Top; Chely Wright; Michael Jackson; Depeche Mode; Caedmon's Call; Tracy Lawrence; Judas Priest; Live; Lifehouse; Nickelback; Danni Leigh; Cyndi Lauper; Bush; Fine Young Cannibals; Rob Zombie; Alison Krauss; Robert Randolph; . I could still go on and on and on.

Lou Reed is gone.

Fleetwood Mac can still surprise.

Patti Smith is a force of nature and should not be missed. To top it ff she is at the Filmore West this year on New Year'e Eve, it should be like a rock and roll pilgremage.

The Who
Procol Harum

Hi Turner 68,

Yeah, it's in alpahabetical order because I pulled these off my mp3 player, and they were chosen from the 232 artists that reside on that player. Mp3 players alphabetize lists automatically.

No, I do not sit around and alphabetize lists for forum posts.
