    Five minutes...Yes I understand...
    Staying strong for decades with Beatles and Led Zeppelin
    Pearl Jam would be right up there, but apples and oranges are different!

    Man your island would be pretty damn depressing! Don't get me wrong, they're all good artist but their music isn't the most uplifting.

    i get what you're saying :) but i think when your feeling kinda low a little depressing music picks you up.. also - The Smiths are the only ones on this list i would consider really depressing.. the others have their moments but are not what i would consider depressing bands.. (especially Kate Bush)..

    I've probably got about 12 or 15 bands tied for fifth place, but based on numbers of shows I've been to, i gotta go with Rhett Miller/Old 97s.
