Incubus and Guster fight for #2 a lot. Incubus has a much better consistent body of work that I love, but Guster has two albums that I think are absolutely amazing ("Goldfly" and "Lost and Gone Forever")
Right now, however, Guster is #2 and Incubus is #3

Ever? The Beatles. Of the same era? Caught between Alice in Chains, Soundgarden & Nirvana. Love me some Who, Rolling Stones, Fugazi, Beach Boys, Beastie Boys, the occasional Fat Boyz, Collective Soul, Pink Floyd, Social D, Local H, REM, Aerosmith, Yes, Bloodhound Gang, Neil Young, Johnny Cash, Mother Love Bone, John Lennon, Van Halen, Dream Theater, The Black Keys... Ok. I can't torture your eyes anymore. Lol!

While PJ sits firmly atop my rankings, my second favourite seems to rotate a bit over the years - top 5 is pretty stable though, and includes The Doors, Beatles, R.E.M. and Foo Fighters.

It has changed over the years. Would say the following bands have been second place over the years: Counting Crows, Metallica, Stone Temple Pilots, Powderfinger, Foo Fighters, RHCP, Stereophonics, Radiohead, Coldplay.

Arguably the only band from the '90s that had more balls than Pearl Jam. Kid A? Who the fuck saw that one coming?
