Might have been a more interesting thread if we were asked to list our top two 3 or 5, since a lot of people (including myself) will put down Pearl Jam as #1. I mean, this is a Pearl Jam board, after all - and one that you have to pay to join, at that. You are not gonna get many casual fans of Pearl Jam here...
For the sake of discussion, I'll put down my top 6:
1. Pearl Jam
2. Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band
3. Alice In Chains
4. Avenged Sevenfold
5. Bon Jovi
6. The Tragically Hip

I was going to say the same thing...
However, my favourites are The Rolling Stones and, since seeing them live for the first time, Pearl Jam (casual fan before, hardcore now).

i'd say PJ is a given but for the last few years there are 2 bands that i've been obsessed with are Black Mountain and Sleepy Sun. I hope they stay together for a long time because they make amazing music.
"...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".
"..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
“..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”
Radiohead was in my Top 5 until this year. They really get on my nerves these days.

Whenever the question is asked its usually connected to my avatar

*MUSIC IS the expression of EMOTION.....and that POLITICS IS merely the DECOY of PERCEPTION*

*The scientists of today think deeply instead of clearly. One must be sane to think clearly, but one can think deeply and be quite INSANE*....Nikola Tesla(a man who shaped our world of electricity with his futuristic inventions)
I honestly can't answer this question. There are so many bands I love. It used to be Pearl Jam, by a huge margin. But, in recent years... I have begun to give them less attention. I still love them dearly, but I'm in no way close to being as "obsessed" with Pearl Jam as I was even 2 years ago. I found myself limiting my taste and listening to way too much PJ and not enough of anything else... so I forced myself to branch out. I of course still put on some PJ every now and then...
At this time though, it comes down to The Replacements & Ryan Adams (and everything he has done)
I still love you Pearl Jam.
