Name your top 3 bands

[jaycanuck]

Most people probably have this set. 2 of mine are...with the 3rd fluctuating.

1. The Pixies
2. The Tragically Hip
3. Metric

[jjhill]

1. Parliament/Funkadelic
2. Fleetwood Mac
3. Queen

[jaycanuck]

3. Queen

Nice. I kind of have an issue with them reforming and playing with a new singer. A lesser known band...sure...that may work. But c'mon...replace Mercury? No way.

Oh yea Freddie could never be replaced! I love the pixies too, coming up with a top 3 is so hard, but I love the challenge!

[LibertyHarkness]

1 - Muse
2 - Placebo
3 - The Stereophonics

[jjhill]

Love The Pixies (saw them in 2004) and P-Funk

It'd really be hard for me to come up with just 3 all-time favorites. Recent favorites are Miss Kittin & the Hackers new album, Yelle, and Elliot Smith "Either/Or".

All-time favorites I'm going to have to go with...

1. Bjork
2. Radiohead
3. Portishead
4. M.I.A.
5. Tori Amos

More than 3 but I wanted to keep going... Boards of Canada

I made a list everything on my iPod a few months ago (it's full and doesn't include a lot of other music I listen to but it should tell you something)...

by looking at the list of artist on your ipod, I can tell you have a great taste in music. One that is not just limited to one genre

Thank you, unfortunately that's all I can fit on it and I've had to delete a lot to put new stuff on. I want a new iPod but keep holding out for the next generation to come out since it's been almost 2 years now. Yeah, I like to find things (not just music) I don't like and try to understand what makes other people love it, so that I can have either a love for it too or at least an appreciation/respect for it (for example, I was never into hip-hop until a friend and I decided to exchange CDs and I told her to give me ones she knows I don't listen to and she gave me A Tribe Called Quest, one of my all-time favorites now too)


I definitely understand, because I'm waiting on the next big thing from Ipod myself. I bought mines 2 years ago, a 30 gig for about $300 with a warranty. Recently I think I seen a 120 gig for about that price. So I'm wait a while myself. Cd exchange is how I got into certain artist myself, Rush, The Doors. From your list I must admit that A Tribe Called Quest stood out, I said "hell yea" she like the tribe.
