Mine, in no order as it changes on the top spot but right now after seeing Nighwish live recently and constantly playing their CDs I'd put them at the top. The rest is as follows;

1. Nightwish
2. Metallica
3. Rammstein
4. Within Temptation
5. Maiden

Also for me I love to go to gigs and the only band I haven't seen out of these 5 are Within Temptation, but I'll get there one day. The rest sure kick some lardy arse live 😱

 

[tcklft]

In no particular order:

The Beatles
Rush
King Crimson
Fishbone
Primus

Very cool. I saw them years ago. They haven't been back to TO since. 🙁

Snail Shell

 

[InspectorJapp]

- Genesis: Best band ever.
- Black Sabbath: Second greatest band ever. Must contain Ozzy or Dio.
- Waylon Jennings: The Man!
- Marillion: Singlehandedly revived the progscene.
- Jimmy Buffett: Because I'm waiting for summer to kick in.

 

[Tomskee]

Parliament Funkadelic
The Isley Bros.
The Ojays
War
The Gap Band
The S.O.S. Band
Duke Ellington
Count Basie
James Brown
Miles Davis

Carlos Santana

If Deathklok were a real band, I would definitely have them on the list.

 

[Adalon]

Radiohead.
REM.
Rage Against the Machine.
Coldplay.
Rhapsody of Fire.

 

[Artoo]

4. Within Temptation
5. Maiden

You saw Rammsten live?😵
Damn..I love them(of course, I´m geman 😀 ) but they never really came in reach for me. Never saw them live

Nightwish is great, saw them on March.

Blutengel
Eisregen

My top 5 atm:
- Shining (depressive black metal)
- Jason Mraz (singer/songwriter)
- Cute Is What We Aim For (alternative rock)
- Markus Krunegård (indiepop)
- Roger Cicero (swing)

Well, yeah, thank you, and thank you for introducing me to Immortal as well ;D

 

[Tckleme]

And I'll never admit that I showed you Immortal, the greatest failure of my life this far ... ><

Tsk tsk, rule 11 in the bible:
"You shall not edit your posts."

😱

 

[RUNOFFSTAGE]

Well, yeah, thank you, and thank you for introducing me to Immortal as well ;D

HUSH YOU !!!! I should never have done that xD They are a disgrace to all
metal bands out there with that silly corpsepaint and lousy bandpics =O
Nonono, Shining it should be!
