So I'm stealing this idea outright from the Wilco board. List your favorite band/artist for each letter of the alphabet. (You can use either first or last name if you use a solo artist, but be consistent throughout the list)

ONLY ONE PER LETTER!!!

Adams, Ryan
Black Crowes, The
Cure, The
Dylan, Bob
Eels, The
Flaming Lips, The
Guns N' Roses
Hendrix, Jimi
INXS
Jane's Addiction
King's X
Led Zeppelin
Metallica
Nine Inch Nails
Oasis
Pearl Jam
Queen
R.E.M.
Smashing Pumpkins, The
Tool
U2
Velvet Underground, The
Wilco

    Can't think of any O, Q, U, V, X, Y or Z. Looking through my ipod I don't have any band I particularly love with those letters... well without using surnames as the letter, but can't really use first names for half and surnames for the other half.
