Your Top 5 Artists

Mainstream (relatively new artists still releasing good material):

1) Björk
2) Suzanne Vega
3) PJ Harvey
4) Tori Amos
5) Ben Harper

Non-mainstream off the top of my head:

1) Maria Schneider 
2) Marilyn Crispell
3) Joëlle Léandre
4) Lauren Newton
5) The Bad Plus

Oldies (apart from Queen):

1) Bob Dylan
2) Neil Young
3) Beatles
4) Rolling Stones
5) Joni Mitchell

Editor's note: Unlike Roger and Brian, Bob Dylan, Neil Young and Joni Mitchell have continued to record and have been releasing good new material up to this day. Mitchell's "Travelogue" and "Shine" are a good proof that some artists never dry out. Others, though...

1.Queen, of course
2. U2
3. Styx
4. Rush
5. Journey

Others bands in no order:

1. Led Zeppellin
2. Bryan Adams
3. Metallica
4. B.T.O
5. Fleetwood Mac
6. Loverboy
7. ZZ Top
8. KISS
9. Aerosmith
10. Foreigner

Top 5 as in "best":
1. Bob Dylan
2. Simon & Garfunkel
3. Led Zeppelin
4. Queen
5. Pink Floyd
Top 5 as in my favourites at the moment:
1. Into Eternity(Progressive/Melodic Death Metal from Canada)
2. Children of Bodom(Melodic Death Metal/Extreme Power Metal from Finland)
3. Megadeth <- Legends
4. Pantera <- Legends
5. Death(Technical Death Metal) <- Legends

I like a lot of diffrent songs from diffrent bands. But there are only three which I can call my favourite (because I like almost everything from their albums):

Queen

Which Kino are you talking about?  The Russian band from the 80s or the UK prog band?

Nope, never heard of them.  I just looked them up and found two different bands named Kino, so I was curious about which of the two you revered.

If you are curious, I would recommend you to find on youtube.com a couple of songs. I don't know why but I can't attach the link, so just try to put-
Kino I Want Changes
Kino Star

My current list based on who I can listen to any time of the day:
1) Queen. There can be only one [img=/images/smiley/msn/regular_smile.gif][/img] .

2) Sophie B. Hawkins. Her first 2 albums especially.

3) Journey. Lot of memories attached to their songs, as I used to exclusively listen to them a lot when I was in college.

4) Meat Loaf / Prince. I love singing out loud along to their songs. They have this way of screaming in the middle of a song which is totally like me.

5) Matmatah / Erasure.

I have never liked the Beatles much, but lately I find myself liking their songs and appreciating their contribution to the evolution of rock n roll. They may creep into my top 5 anytime soon.

A few people have mentioned Journey among their favs here, that's great.

When I was still very new to western music (1995-96), an uncle of mine (who was visiting from the Middle East) gave me an audio casstte that had no label or tracklist. It turned out to be a collection of songs from different bands. I could make out that Side A was just one band and side B was a mix of many bands (one of the songs on side B was "Love Of My Life" which I didn't fancy much at the time and I was only very faintly familiar with Queen).

I liked side A a lot and would spend a lot of time playing it over and over, to such an extent that my otherwise non-interfering father screamed at me once to either turn the bloody thing off or atleast change the side. I'd sing "Hopelessly in Love" to the girlfriend and she'd threatened to leave me. Then I'd sing to her "What would be life, without you". Only much later did I realise that it was actually "I'Il be alright Without You".

I asked a lot of friends if they knew the band , but nobody could help. I had all but given up hope of finding the name of this band when I heard the guitar intro to Don't Stop Believin' on radio and just sat their to hear the RJ tell me who it was at the end of the song. And I found the name "Journey" absolutely beautiful for a rock band.
