    No particular order... it's not gonna be 25, just because I personally can't call 25 artists an "all-time fave"... unless I'm misunderstanding the question.

    Anywho... these are the ones I CAN call my "favorites".

    Pearl Jam
    My Morning Jacket
    Radiohead
    Red Hot Chili Peppers
    Jimi Hendrix
    Neil Young
    John Frusciante
    Against Me!
    Led Zeppelin
    Umphrey's McGee
    The Strokes
    Sublime
    Rage Against the Machine
    Modest Mouse
    Pink Floyd
    Libertines (short but extremely sweet career)
    And before his first step... He's off again...
