Argh, I can't resist a good fucking list...

1. Weezer

2. Bob Dylan

3. Beatles

4. The Beach Boys

5. The Clash

6. Elvis Costello

7. Johnny Cash

8. Ry Cooder

9. Teenage Fanclub

10. Neutral Milk Hotel

John Martyn loses out thanks to post-1980. Looking back, that's a pretty boring list... but I suppose the oldies are goodies.

Bad Religion

Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band

Nirvana

Weezer

The Band

Leonard Cohen

Rage Against The Machine

Ben Folds/5

Eels

Fugazi

Aerosmith were almost included then I remembered all the shite they have also released and chose to punish them. Getting into a lot of new and old stuff at the moment so this list will always be changing

In chronic-a-logical order only:

Hawkwind (When I hear Silver Machine I will always be 5 years old)

Slade

Buzzcocks (The first time around)

The Cramps

REM (pre Warner Bros period of course)

The Velvet Underground

Tim Buckley

Sonic Youth (til major label sell out...)

Dinosaur Jr (but really only with Lou Barlow, obviously)

Bonnie 'Prince' Billy (Bonny Billy/Will Oldham/Palace/Palace Music/Palace Brothers/Palace Songs/etc.)

Is that 'of all time enough' for you?

And I missed out Nick Cave and Momus coz I can count...

If we are talking guitar based music/bands it would be something like this:

  1. Against Me!
  2. In Flames
  3. CKY
  4. The Bloodhound Gang
  5. Megadeth
  6. Rise Against
  7. Guns 'n' Roses
  8. The Bouncing Souls
  9. Pantera
  10. Less Than Jake

That is all time though, the list would be pretty different if it was what I was infatuated with right now. Also there are a couple of bands it felt :( to leave out of the list.

Can't really put them in any order but here my list:

1. Sick Of It All

2. Black Flag

3. The Wildhearts

4. Jeff Buckley

5. Metallica (83-91)

6. Killswitch Engage (not sure if that's a controversial choice or not but I can't get enough of them at the moment. It's the hooks! They won't get out of my head!)

7. Jimmy Eat World

8. Led Zeppelin

9. Champion

10. NOFX

That'll probably change in the next ten minutes or so...
