    Modest Mouse is high up there for me too.

    Picking a second favorite is impossible. There is a number one, and then at least 10 second faves!

    Such a simple sounding question but it really can be difficult. There are so many life changing musical influences in my life.

    I think I love about 90% of all the bands mentioned so far. It's amazing to see what great, and diverse taste we all have outside of PJ.

    Awesome!

    I am right there with you man...I am a HUGE ZBB fan and talk about another unbelievable live band! They are also how I got into Blackberry Smoke.

    Changes all the time.

    Now, Radiohead. Recently, QoTSA was there. Pink Floyd, Zeppelin, Iron Maiden, Metallica…
    Nirvana, time to time.
    Some soft stuff as well: Coldplay and U2.

    The only cool stuff I have is Megadeth and it's from decades ago.
