I know for a fact that the diversity of this community, when it comes to musical taste is HUMONGOUS - but nevertheless it could quite fun to see, if there are any 'overlaps'


Therefore it would be GREAT if as many as possible could/would produce an ALL TIME Top 20 (or at least 10 ) of their favourite BANDS


(We'll leave the SOLO ACTS for later ).


Below is my list of ALL TIME favourite bands:

1. New Order
2. Depeche Mode
3. Pet Shop Boys
4. A-ha
5. Duran Duran
6. Erasure
7. The S.O.S. Band
8. Loose Ends
9. Tears For Fears
10. Dead Or Alive

11. Change
12. Del Amitri
13. The Human League
14. Level 42
15. M People
16. The Lightning Seeds
17. Thompson Twins
18. Snap!
19. Simply Red*
20. Eurythmics


*I DO know that these days Mick Hucknall IS indeed a one man band - but it wasn't always like that

Wow, Dreamy. That's PHENOMENAL!!!

Top 5 are spot on in that order!!!

P.S. I dunno where you got NIN from though!

[vikulenka]

I'd probably list these as "all-time" favourite till now. Although my taste evolves a lot and some bands who are not on the list are very quickly rising up the charts - so Dreamy's list is just as good (although neither Nine Inch Nails nor Radiohead are anywhere close to the top of any of my lists :-)

1. Red Hot Chili Peppers
2. Duran Duran
3. Level 42
4. ABBA
5. U2
6. Greenday
7. Queen
8. The Beatles
9. Bon Jovi
10. Keane
11. No Doubt
12. The Killers
13. Fleetwood Mac
14. The Kooks
15. Change
16. Ace Of Base
17. Oasis
18. B-52’s
19. Razorlight
20. The Brand New Heavies

Other contenders :-

INXS, The Doors, Black Eyed Peas, Coldplay, Derek & The Dominoes, Jethro Tull, Franz Ferdinand, Talking Heads, The Coral, Traveling Wilburys, The Shins, The Zutons, Nirvana, Spice Girls, The Band, The Clash, The Cranberries

I will definitely get in on this.....

Give me some time with my thinking cap.
The cap has to stay on longer and longer these days......

I'll be back here soon.
