My musical taste changes so much so what I'm in the mood for does too but I'd probably take Tom Waits over anything else if I had to choose just one. Ask me again in a year and I might say The Blue Nile, or Aphex Twin, or Nick Cave (and so on and so on).

Ask me again in a year and I might say The Blie Nile, or Aphex Twin, or Nick Cave (and so on and so on). Tom Waits is great; I own all of his albums. I've been getting into Nick Cave's stuff more and more recently.

That would be Jethro Tull.

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, with the caveat that it also include The Birthday Party (Nick's former band) and Grinderman (his current side project). I've also got mad fondness for Bauhaus (and all attendant side projects), The Fall, Swans, and Joy Division. That's my top five; can't narrow it down any more.

Nice. I don't know if I can pick a favorite band, but Pavement is definitely in my top 5 or so.

Well Led Zeppelin is numero uno for me
Then The Beatles, Hendrix, Billy Joel, Elton John, Queen, Dave Matthews
Matchbox 20 and Fleetwood Mac (guilty pleasure) Flight of the Conchords (hey humor in music is still music), The Who, The Eagles, Beastie Boys, Offspring, Peter Gabriel, OK Go,The Stones and Seamus Keenedy.
I also like Darius Rucker's country career as well as his Hootie years
And I am a fan of motown and funk...Parliament, Commodores, 4 tops, temptations and Stevie Wonder Kennedy sings Scottish/Irish folk songs and is a funny dude (find a song called Old mcdonalds deformed farm)

Impossible to pick just one. Joy Division, The Smiths, The Stone Roses, The Las, The Verve and Oasis are constantly duking it out for first place.

The Avatar says it all. But bands like They Might Be Giants,The Who, Bowling For Soup and Presidents Of The United States Of America rank high for me.

Easy... The Beatles
I was thinking about this a while back. Whenever I think that life stinks, and screw it, and what's the point... blah, blah, blah. I have to stop and tell myself to shut up...
"Dude, you grew up with the Beatles!"
Of all the great books and movies and sports and MST3K and art I've enjoyed in my life, it all circles back to the Beatles. Apart from family, they are the pinnacle, the prime wonderful, supreme, delightful thing that makes me so glad I'm alive in this point and time.
I apologize for sounding so melodramatic, but that's what the Beatles meant to me. Not just my favorite band, but my favorite anything.

^ Big Beatle fan here too and enjoyed reading your comments. And it got me to thinking of perhaps not as well known songs they recorded that nevertheless are as good as anyone elses prime accomplishments. Yes It Is Here There and Everywhere Savoy Truffle Misery Not A Second Time Baby It's You Only A Northern Song to name just a few. What are some of yours?

^ Those are all great tunes - Ones that I like that are not as well known would be "I'll Be Back", "I'll Get You", "I've Just Seen A Face" and this number left off Help, "That Means A Lot"
And I love this bootleg demo. I wish they'd have recorded this for an album...

this past year, Richard Thompson.
But I'm ancient, and over the years, it has been several others, including The Beatles, The Who, Talking Heads, and others

Good call inlovewithcrow. I rarely see any mention of Richard Thompson around here. That guy is great.
