quapman Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 So tell me,,, What are your top 5 all time favorite bands?? That inspire you,,, that you listen to,, that you love... I know that's near frickin impossible to say,, so here's the catch. Your number 5 can rotate... Give me your top 4,, then fill number 5 with your 3 next favorite artists. You can only have 3 bands in the number 5 position. Here's mine In no particular order,, except number one is pretty much a given.. Number 1 - Zappa Number 2 - Neil Young Number 3 - Jimi Hendrix Number 4 - Pink Floyd Number 5 - Rotating,, between,,,, King Crimson David Bowie Jethro Tull FYI,,, I have seen them all live,, except Jimi. Part II Let's hear your bucket list of accomplishments. How many of your top picks have you seen live? I have seen all but one,, Jimi,, but he sadly he was gone before I was old enough to see him in concert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaleb Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 1. Rush 2. Thin Lizzy 3. Gary Moore 4. U.F.O./anything with Michael Schenker 5. Ace Frehley I've seen Ace. I'm trying to go see Rush on their upcoming tour. I never did get to see Gary, unfortunately. As far as Lizzy goes, I don't care for the new version (still love Scott and Brian though!), as I think no Phil=no Lizzy. Seeing Schenker live is on my list (he tends to tour more in Europe), and although U.F.O. without Schenker doesn't draw me in too much, I'd still pay to see them with Vinnie Moore.

surfpup Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Don't know if I can do it... certainly not ranked However these seem to be the ones with the most staying power in my listening over the years and probably have had the most influence on my playing (in alpha order) Allman Brothers Cream Free Hendrix Zeppelin Here are some that could be contenders if not for the absolute awesomeness of those above (in the order they popped into my brain) Rolling Stones Rush The James Gang Black Sabbath Lynyrd Skynyrd UFO Thin Lizzy Deep Purple And finally here are the top 5 newer bands in my recent listening... (in order of their awesomeness) Mount Carmel Graveyard Radio Moscow Tame Impala Ghost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CowboyBillyBob1 Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 I forgot to mention that I saw The Stones play right after they came out with Sticky Fingers. I liked them at the time but was not a huge fan untill I saw them live (Mick Taylor and Bill Wyman). Now I've seen some remarkable shows with Led Zep, Santana, Beck, and others but let me tell you there is nothing that comes close to the Stones live. It does not come across in video or audio but the electricity in the air is something I have never felt as intense with any other band. It really is magic. If and when they do a 50th anniversary tour do yourself a favor and check them out. Even if you are not a big fan. They will blow you away and you will see why they are called "The Greatest Rock and Roll Band". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
