    5. 'N Sync

    Seriously.

    That was my inner Jeckyll talking... but when Mr. Hyde takes over -

    1. Pearl Jam
    2. The Who / The Beatles
    3. REM / Nirvana
    4. Soundgarden / Alice In Chains
    5. Wolfmother / Kings of Leon

    (And then there's that band from the Philippines called Wolfgang that can totally rock your socks off too...)

    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of
    arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to
    slide in sideways, BBQ sandwich in one hand, cold beer in the other,
    body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "Woo Hoo what a
    ride"!

    I'll go for my top three

    Neil Young
    Doors
    Pearl Jam

    Not sure about 4 or 5 but my thinking is that if all three were playing the same night (I know.. not possible with the Doors, but let's pretend!) and I could only see one, this would be my order of choice.
