Gosh, too many to name. Some that come to mind are John, Paul, George and Ringo. (Beatles of course, LOL) Simon and Garfunkel, Billy Joel, Neil Diamond, as well as many various artists and individual songs with top 40 hits. The 4 singers/groups I listed are my favorites, though. Good thread. Iam going to be interested to see how this turns out.

Without a doubt, my favorite band of all time is The Beatles! They changed the way people listen to music in the short time they were together. (Remember, bands like U2 have been together nearly 25 years)

Definitely Lynard Skynard- Songs like "Simple Man" and "Free Bird", so good.

Elvis Presley- His song "Crying in the Chapel" was so inspirational

George Jones-of the Country Music Association's top ten greatest country songs of all time, he has like 6

Wow, Tummydragon...I thought I was the only Triumph fan here! In an era where hard rock consisted of the same "rock all night, get laid all day" or "everything sucks" messages, Triumph's themes of "Positive Inspiration" helped drive me along. Not to mention that they kicked more ass in one song than any hard rock band today does in a career. (Anyone remember real guitar players?)

My list of faves:

Rush
Triumph
Marillion
Asia
REO Speedwagon (mostly the pre-radio-hits days)
Peter Gabriel
Journey
Jethro Tull
Led Zeppelin
Yes

Oh yeah, I have been a Truimph fan since 1978 when I first saw them at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta (free tickets won from a local radio station). I didn't have a clue who they were before that night. Man what a fantastic, totally kick ass show. They had two albums out at the time, "Rock and Roll Machine", and "Just a Game". I went out the next day and bought them. Spent the next several days learning "Fantasy Seranade", and then a few weeks perfecting it. Rik Emmit is probably the sole reason I began playing classical guitar. I learned and mastered every acoustic solo on every Triumph album, from "Finger Talkin'" to "Petite Etude" to "Midsummer Daydream".

I agree, the positive message delivered through their lyrics was a refreshing boost in an era where sex and drugs were the cultural rock icons. Songs such as "Hold On", "Magic Power", "Fight The Good Fight", "Never Surrender", "Sombody's Out There" -- just total positive messages yet still kick ass rock. I also credit Rik Emmit for keeping me out of the drug scene because of the mental awareness necessary for dissecting his guitar playing and then committing it to memory (I smoked my share of the wacky weed, but never progressed to harder drugs, and then I cut back on pot so I could actually learn faster. heh).

My second all time favorite band is Rush. It seems we have very similar taste in music.
