1. Pearl Jam (I know your Shocked)
2. Alice N Chains
3. REM
4. GUNS N ROSES
5. Soundgarden
6. Nirvana
7. Metallica
8. Rage Against The Machine
9. Tool
10.REd Hot Chili Peppers

notice no U2 or Police bc they started in 70's.

    I'm not really clear on the criteria -- active for the last 25-30 years? Founded in the last 25-30 years? Active some time in the last 25-30? My favorites?

    My God, I am old.

    My favorites, in no real order:

    The Church (est. 1980, I've been a fan for thirty years)
    U2 (they're an 80s -90s band, to me)
    Paul Weller
    Pearl Jam
    REM
    Beastie Boys
    Rage

    I'm willing to sub Green Day in for any of the last 3. Same with Foo Fighters. It's tough to get down to 10.
