    Just my top 5 as far as my love for them. Not to be mistaken for my opinion of the top 5 bands of all time.

    1. Pearl Jam...their impact on me changed my life.

    2. The Beatles...I grew up with my family playing their records 70% of the time.

    3. The Who...always knew their songs...but really listened after PJ covered The Kids are Alright in the early 90's. I can't believe I didn't "get it" sooner.

    4. STP...I loved the fat riffs...and they were great live.

    5. Soundgarden...Dark and deep...R.I.P. Chris Cornell's career.

    I'm so happy that I was 20 when the 90's "movement" happened. I was really able to appreciate all those great alternative bands...and was pretty much able to see them all live.

    #1 Pearl Jam without a shadow of doubt, but the rest of my top 5? This took much deliberation. Black is number 1 song always.

    #2 Nirvana - without them no interest in PJ, they started the downward spiral to awesomeness "You Know You're Right" changed my life.

    #3 The Rolling Stones- been listening to them for all 21 years of my life and without the Stones I have no musical footing. Wild Horses is a top 5 song

    #4 The Beatles -they're the Beatles, if you don't understand why they are in my top 5 than you have no idea about rock n roll, While My Guitar Gently Weeps is a top 5 song

    #5 The Jimi Hendrix Experience - the greatest/most influential guitar player ever along with one of the best rock drummers and quite the talented bassist and Hendrix is a lot better song writer than you'd ever believe, just ask Mike... All Along the Watchtower is a top 5 song

    5.01 Pink Floyd - Animals is a brilliant album and arguably their best album, and yes that includes DSotM. I would take Animals over Wish You Were Here and Dark Side, I think the Wall is better than both of those though. David Gilmour gets one of the greatest tones out of his guitar and Roger Waters is a great lyricist. Comfortably Numb is a top 10 song without a doubt and has one of the greatest guitar solos of all time.

    5.02 Led Zeppelin - greatest quartet w/o the names John, George, Paul and Ringo in it. Jimmy Page may be the greatest riff writer in history.

    5.03 Authority Zero - a small surf/punk/rock band out of AZ that puts on a great show and is some of the greatest dudes I have ever met, their lead singer is one of the nicest down to earth musicians.
    32 shows and counting...

    1 Led Zeppelin ( they edge out PJ only by a smidgen! Jimmy Page is the master..sorry Mike ;))

    2 Pearl Jam (a lot closer to first than second!! This is MY BAND and I'm not afraid to scream it from the tallest mountain/rooftop "I LOVE PJ!!" :D)

    3 Alice in chains

    4 Pink Floyd (dark side of the moon is the best complete album ever made IMO)

    5 RATM (i wish they would write some new shit and release a new album..it's only been close to a fucking decade now!!)

    They place number one.

    Also saw the Stones - which in my humble opinion are the most over rated band in the history of Rock.

    THANK YOU!! I feel the same way about the Stones..whenever i hear them referred to as the greatest rock 'n roll band of all time i get really pissed off!! Led Zep blows them so far out of the water it's not even funny!! I also think PJ is waaayyyyyyy better than the Stones as well.I do listen to some of their old stuff but i have to agree that they are over rated.
