Let's Go Blues

After reading through the Metallica thread, and I know this has been done before, I'm curious to know all of your favorite bands. Taste is taste, there's no right or wrong, I'm just curious...

Mine:

AC/DC (Bon Scott years)
Ramms+ein
Motorhead (Lemmy is god)
Black Sabbath
Pantera
Down
Metallica's first three albums
Slayer
Iron Maiden
Scorpions
David Allen Coe (for getting drunk...I hate country music, but he's awesome)
Faith No More
The Police
The Beatles

I could go on...but I'm mostly curious as to your answers. Try and keep the flaming to a minimum.

The Doors
Pink Floyd
Led Zeppelin
Black Sabbath
Jimmy Buffett
Neil Young
Down
Johnny Cash
Alice in Chains
Temptations
Guns N Roses
Flogging Molly

In no particular order:

Pink Floyd
The Beatles
Muse
Thrice
NIN
Weezer (Pretty much the first two albums, but both were/are great)
Refused
311
Story of the Year
The Urge
Modest Mouse
Incubus
Finch
Cake
Boston
Billy Talent
Bob Marley
Sublime
Hepcat

I think that's enough, but I'm sure I've missed a few.

Too many to name but my all time top 4 is pretty typical stuff:

AC/DC
Sabbath
Van Halen w/DLR
The Doors

Megadeth
Pantera
Metallica
Slayer
Iron Maiden
Buckethead

My list changes hourly. For the moment:

Immolation
Burzum
Atheist
Morbid Angel
Opeth
Black Sabbath

Atheist
Cynic
Death
Emperor
Drudkh
Martyr
Anata
Alice in Chains
Mahavishnu Orchestra
Type O Negative

I resisted listing bands that only have one full-length album, such as Cynic (can't wait for their new one). I was tempted to list Negura Bunget and Primordial too, but I don't have enough of their material yet. I know Atheist only has 3, but they're so freaking awesome, they deserve to be listed.

I listed Cynic because their only full-length album happens to be my favorite album ever by about a mile, and their demos are incredible too. I normally wouldn't name a band with only one album as a favorite, but this is a bit of a different case.

Cynic's Focus is phenomenal.
