Who's Your Favorite Band??
Taking into consideration the diversity of age and musical taste, I am curious to know what bands over the last 40 years are your particular favorites.
I have taken into account that some members are younger and may go for the bands that were or are big in their time, and I've also accounted for those of us in the older age bracket (like myself) who prefer some of the bands from the 60's and 70's.
Please forgive me if I left out a certain band that you like but isn't in the poll. I tried to cover bands that have really impacted on the music industry in the last 40 years. To cover everyone would have taken around 50 choices instead of 20.
So please nominate who you particularly like as a band!

Well you could have knocked me over with a feather YouToo. I would never have guessed that you would have selected the band that you did.

I picked the Eagles, for sheer versatility... They could rock your socks off one minute,
and melt your butter the next, with some of the sweetest songs you ever heard...!!!
If I had two choices, I would have also picked Led Zep... For basically the same reasons...!!!

Pink Floyd. Great music, great shows, lots of "sustain" in their music as it never seems to get old.

I can sit and listen, to most any band on the list, and own CDs' from the majority of them.
I have to say though, the discs that spend more time in my car and home stereo, would have to be the Floyd.
Hell, my three teenage children even love Pink Floyd!
...everything under the sun is in tune, and the sun is eclipsed by the moo-oon
... and God said "Let there be drums!" and He saw that his new creation was good, so he created concert halls, arenas and stadiums, so that His people could enjoy this most blessed of creations.
... and the people rejoiced and made a joyful noise (in perfect 4/4 time).

I have too many favorite bands. Second from the top is Johnny Winter And, but the single most influential band was the headliner at my first real rock 'n roll concert at Seton Hall - Ten Years After. I was hooked when Alvin Lee and company blew the doors off the auditorium with "I'm Going Home", and the Woodstock version of the same song still plays over and over in my mind. Vision of a watermelon rolling up on the stage. Can't get rid of it. Don't want to either.

Yup this was a tough one as I could easily pick at least three or four. I went Beatles
tho as they influences A LOT of people. They experimented with so many things
and usually turned out golden. Zep and Floyd are up there in my book too. However,
what a pleasant surprise The Eagles tied with Beatles. Interesting. I should mention
that ZZTop should have been a choice as well. They helped bring the blues back
into the mainstream.
Forget all that macho s*** and learn how to play guitar

Queen, specially for Brian's guitar playing, Freddies voice, Roger Taylor's Drums, John Deacon on the Bass and their complete musical magic as a band... I really think it was a kind of Magic.
