Your Top 10 Favorite Bands

[El Fangel]

This has been done to death, on every forum in the history of the internet yes, however I wish to ask only to see if 2011 changed any of your list.

It shuffled mine around quite a bit honestly, as I discovered some new stuff, heard some stuff for the first time that I enjoyed, found a song I had not known the name of forever.

Bit of commentary on each to give you an idea why they are there.

1) Metallica - They might not be the best band ever, but they are my favorite.

2) Foo Fighters - Somehow, someway I managed to not know the name of "Learn to Fly" for what must be years. In the days before Shazam, I had to ask people and one person did say FF. When I searched Youtube, I got the elevator intro played to the tune of Everlong and skipped it because I didn't know it was the right song. Also, Rope and Walk from Wasting Light is Amazing.

3) Pink Floyd - I watched "The Wall" and they immediately cemented a spot unlikely to ever lower.

4) Pearl Jam - My wife got me to listen to their entire discography and well, you guys mostly already knew.

5) Our Lady Peace - After seeing the live, I absolutely fell in love with these guys. I think one of the very few bands who are much better live then hearing them through earphones.

6) Led Zepplin - I don't need to explain myself here.

7) The Trews - They originate from where I grew up and I had heard they were total assholes. However, their latest CD, Hope and Ruin changed my opinion of them as musicians at least.

8) The Black Keys - Requiem turned me onto to these guys and they have some pretty sick stuff.

9) Tool - The hidden track from 10,000 Days is just...oh my god.

10) Static-X - Only because they were my first favorite band do they hold the last spot.
