    Rob,

    Is there an objective 'best'? If so, post it. If not, post your favs. Or get bored and post both.

    The people are afraid poorly. Poor is not the socialism. We diligently struggle positively to construct. But, in the good heart's core, the dignity and just forever is higher than richly. We forever and peace-loving people in same place. The formidable imperialism dares rampant. Then, we must fight with it. We do not need too to argue. Practice. We must win. The world people unite as one, does not divide the belief nationality and the region. Our friendship long live.

    Wow, there are definitely some amazing bands mentioned! Yeah a Top Ten is kinda hard when it comes to the 'best of all time.'

    Everyone pretty much said my next favs after the 10: REM, Manic Street Preachers, Bob Marley, Nirvana, NIN, Tool, and Bob Dylan. I must say that I not sure whether or not I have ever heard At The Drive-In, the name sure sounds familiar, but I'll be downloading their stuff now since two people mentioned them.

    This was from a Led Zeppelin forum I used to be a member of, lol:

    "IN THE BEGINNING God created the guitar. And the Spirit of God blessed the guitar and called it good. Later, after a run of imposters, God sent his only begotten Son, Jimmy Page, so that all His children might learn. And verily the spirit of God's Son rocked the cosmos, and spread the Truth Of The Guitar to all."

    And so on and so forth with all these strange, yet fricking hilarious, scenes with Page as Christ. I'll have to find those again lol. Jeez, I like Led too much...lol....

    Download anything off their Relationship of Command LP. The second best punk album ever recorded (behind Refused's The Shape of Punk to Come of course), but I would specially recommend Invalid Litter Dept, Arcarsenal or Cosmonaut. Pure fuckin genius, pity the bastards split a year or so back...

    Didn't Donovan do a version of "Season of the Witch"?
