I can't do this lol. It's not as I expected too many but not enough-Don't get me wrong there's probably at least 100 bands I like a lot but to get into my favorites they have to be indespensible and it seems for the most part individuals have taken up that spot. Has anyone else noticed this going through their collections that individual artists fill up much more space than groups? I'm skipping individuals with back up bands here too. Maybe, I can do it with qualifiers. In somewhat random order:

1. The Beatles-everything including bootlegs
2. The Rolling Stones-Through "Exile on Main Street"
3. Creedence Clearwater Revival-Everything
4. The Velvet Underground-Everything (Except the fake Velvet album "Squeeze" with only Doug Yule-no one considers this to be the Velvets anyways)
5. Pink Floyd-I've only got around half their pre-Dark Side stuff but I would say all that and up to and including "The Wall"
6. Genesis-Through "The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway"
7. Simon and Garfunkel-You can skip their first album.

Now here's where it get's easier-Groups I really like but wouldn't think fit in my top 10-Bauhaus ,The Stooges, King Crimson (all 3 incarnations of them but I liked the first best), The Violent Femmes, Dinosaur Jr., The Supremes, The Beach Boys (up through the "Surf's Up" time period), Traffic, Pearl Jam, AC/DC, The Band, early Chicago, Counting Crows, Love, The Lovin' Spoonful, Hole, Roxy Music, Public Image Ltd. (through "Flowers of Romance"), The Birthday Party (Need to have some alcohol though-pretty rough on sober ears), The Residents, Wall of Voodoo, Weather Report, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Magnetic Fields (69 Love Songs is the best set I've bought in years), Nirvana, Blue Oyster Cult (though Spectres), The Raincoats, The Clash, Talking Heads and of course The Who and Zeppelin... (I'll probably edit this and add to it over the next couple of days)
