My top 5:

The Beatles
The Rolling Stones
The Band
ELO
Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers

The top 2 will always be The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, in that order. However I think bands 3-5 will always be some amalgamation of The Who, Zeppelin, The Kinks and Pink Floyd.

3. Tears for Fears
Interesting choice. I like them, but never thought anyone would ever rate them this highly.

I would never claim them to be a GOAT. I just really enjoy them.

I like them a lot.

Saw them open for Hall and Oates a few years ago, and they were excellent.

Their songwriting and sound put them in my top 5 favorite bands, with Steely Dan, Talking Heads, Khruangbin, and My Bloody Valentine.

Beatles would top the Best list, but not really sure who else I'd put in there with them.

We are kindred souls. I’d change 4 out for Pink Floyd and be very happy. Skynyrd gets 6 for me.

I was most into music as a teen and in my 20s so "favorites" are basically a look back because I've never again taken the time to focus on new or other older bands as intensely as I did back then. Nowadays with access to so much I graze amongst the decades from the 1950s to now.

1.The Cure
2.KMFDM
3.Jawbox
4.New Model Army
5.Skinny Puppy
