Fave Bands Of All Time - Top 20

[chonabot]

I've followd the lead of the o.p. by including "solo" artistes who usually worked in a group setting. These, over the years, have consistantly pleasured me aurally.     

The Blue Nile. Perfect end of the day music.

Jeff Buckley. "Grace" is just a masterpiece.

Nick Cave. Rich voice,rich lyrics.

Crowded House. Love the harmonies.

Sheryl Crow. She rocks!

The Hamsters. Raw 'n' dirty live trio.

The Human League. More than quality pop.

Joe Jackson. Ditto.

Led Zeppelin. Of course.

Joni Mitchell. Often imitated, rarely bettered.

Ian McNabb. Music to make the spirit soar.

Bonnie Raitt. Emotive voice and slide guitar.

Squeeze.Great storytellers.

Steely Dan. Especially the early years.

The Temptations. Exquisite soul.

Thin Lizzy. Now where did I leave my air guitar....?

Was not Was. For those funky moments in life.

Yes. Even though I've never understood what they were on about.

Frank Zappa. A genius (apart from a quality v. quantity issue).

Warren Zevon. A slightly skewed view of the world.

Fantastic list bro! We must have been separated at birth. Slim from the hamsters is so underrated as a guitarist!

Squeeze also one of the most underrated bands of the last 30 years.

Jeff Buckley , a few here should try the LP, most important album of the 90's.

And of course Led Zep........
