For me it's a toss-up between Rush and Aerosmith...

I also like Boston, Guns 'N' Roses, and Queen (2nd place tie)

3rd place is probably Nickelback, Metallica, and Black Sabbath.

Bob Dylan is the best ever ever ever ever ever ever ever. In my book at least. I enjoy all kinds of music though. I like A fine Frenzy as well. Adam Green... I have never met someone who knows who Adam Green is though...

I know who that is...He has a similar sound as Dylan. Not a big fan of folk, myself. But I still take interest in it because I see the talent it takes to make music both of those artists produce.

I play Dylan songs... they are very wordy... so it takes quite a bit. If you play music... the music becomes something else all together... you really understand what it takes from a technical standpoint at the very least.

Yeah. I don't play the guitar currently, but I attempted to. And I play the Piano...But I see what it takes to play music like they do...And both Green and Dylan come up with their own lyrics. And to me, it's hard to write a few poems...Let alone the amount of music they've made...It's just absolutely astonishing to look at what people like them have accomplished.

Yep that's them! They were the biggest musical surprise I've ever come across; I found them by accident while watching Curve videos on youtube and almost instantly fell in love with them. I love that they were included on Rock Band 2 so people who would have never heard about them can listen to how great they are.

I'd argue he's heard many of those artists but didn't know about it. Everybody has heard The Cranberries ZOOOOOOMMMMBIIIIEEE song and that Blur song that is only fun after a team scores and the whole crowd sings along for the WAAAHOOO part.

I loved their last album Hazards of love. If you like them you should check out Mountain Goats, their lead singer writes some of the best lyrics around. This is a song of theirs:D

I have way too many to name but I'm just going to go ahead and say Steve Vai, Opeth, Kreator, Megadeth, and Porcupine Tree for now. But really I am going through my whole library again and I am just loving everything in it.
