    This list (especially the first 7) is really more 'for all time'...but 'right now' wouldn't be far off it - I don't change my favorites lightly or on the basis of 1 or 2 albums. In fact, at this point it would be nearly impossible for a new band to break my top 5.

    1. Pearl Jam (plus 3 perfect albums)
    2. Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band (plus 4 perfect albums)
    3. Alice In Chains (plus 1 perfect album)
    4. Avenged Sevenfold (plus 1 perfect album)
    5. The Tragically Hip
    6. Bon Jovi
    7. Jeff Buckley
    8. Shinedown
    9. Phish
    10. My Morning Jacket
