1. Grateful Dead - saw 30 shows 1985-1991
2. Ween - followed their summer tour of '99. seen 22 shows 1994-2000 3. Steely Dan - own every studio album including rarities. never seen  4. Flaming Lips - 27 years and still going strong. saw them a bunch in the 80's and not again until 2001 5. The Residents - maybe the longest running band still using the original line-up without ever taking a break, 41 years !! google them.They have done soundtracks for the Discovery channel and other similar ventures. They also did the music for the original Pee Wee's Playhouse. Saw them for the first time in 2002 after being a fan of theirs for 20 years. the reason, silly american audiences have no idea who they are so they don't play here. maybe 20 shows a year tops they will perform in the U.S. They go make their fortune in Europe. I flew to Cali to see them cuz I knew time was running out with getting a chance to see them. was worth ever stinking penny i blew to see them............maybe 125 in the crowd...unfreakingbelievable. they are performance artists/musicians that wear costumes for every performance. their identities have never been revealed, but there are people in the know .........who know.  43 full length albums plus many many ep's and other "stuff".Check out "Eskimo" an album of nothing but their interpretations of Eskimos living in the tundra of northern Canada...haunting, and received a grammy nomination.  p.s. 6. Pink Floyd - just had to let you know where they stood......hehe |

Great bands GB!
 I dont know how you did it though. I have way too many favorites to choose 5 (or 6).  Your going to have to make it easier for me  ......Maybe favorite 5 of each century, or favorite 5 from each music genre.Or Im so bad, even favorite 5 this week.   Either way I know Pink Floyd is in there for me.  I can hear them in the background of my earliest childhood memories.

Only 5
....hmmm that is really tough even seperated by genre  I'm gonna' say, one of these could be top 5 in any order, depending on the mood of the day. Nickel Creek Nickelback Santana CCR Alison Kraus & Union Station Little Big Town Bob Segar BTO Van Zant/38 Special Led Zeppelin Ozzy Osborne P!nk Seether Whitesnake Poison Guns N' Roses Allman Brothers Band No doubt Bad Company Joan Jett and the Blackhearts Anna Nalick Matchbox 20/Rob Thomas Natalie Imbruglia Dixie Chicks Brad Paisley Pat Benatar Sheryl Crow Gillian Welch & David Rawlings Creed Journey Cream/Eric Clapton Jewel ........................ and the list goes on and on. But I've always got a good range to choose from with so much music out there.  Too tough to say only 5 all time fav's for my music tastes CP -------------------- CP-Owner/Administrator

Im sooo jealous of all the concerts you have gone to GB. Growing up in he motor city, I had plenty of oppertunities to see good concerts, but dad wouldnt have that after being at the concerts seeing all that went on.
 Excelent choices guys! I thought I would add a few that haven't been mentioned yet that I think are also good. Eric Clapton Jethro Tull BTO Jimmy Buffet Blue Oyster Cult Ozzy Rob Zombie Evanescence Joan Osborne -------------------- Education is the key to the future,

I must be very old, as the Grateful Dead were known as the Warlocks back in the day (California 1964). There most memorable concert was New Years Eave 1976 at the Cow Palace. That was before most of you were born I bet.

Wow, talk about resurrecting an old thread....
1) The Beatles (interesting that I'm the 1st to mention them) 2) Genesis (with and without Peter Gabriel, but mostly with) 3) Yes (specifically the "Fragile" and "Close to the Edge" albums) 4) Oingo Boingo 5) Then it's a tie between like 30 artists. Mostly "classic rock". -------------------- I'm never lost. I'm always directly above the center of the Earth.

Well crap - I like 'em all! All genres too, except for rap, and angry, death metal. Top 5? Well, that depends on the day... and how I'm feeling......

Difficult to narrow down! No particular order.... somewhat diverse. I love great guitar work and these all have it.
All 5 are Pandora stations that I've created and listen to most often. Bob Wills and The Texas Playboys Junior Brown Asleep At The Wheel (with or without Willie) Metallica Calexico -------------------- /l ,[____], l---L-OlllllllO- ()_) ()_)--o-)_) BLACK SANDS MATTER!
