Having set the guidelines, here I go with mine...I must say, a strange and eclectic mix. These acts just also happen to be the only 5 acts I will still pay $$ to see LIVE...These are not in any particular order, because I love them all.
1. Joe Bonamassa(It would just be rude not to make him 1st on the list, It's his site !!)
2. Jack White(and any Jack White projects)
3. Toadies(these guys are better than ever and so much more than just "Possum Kingdom")
4. Y&T ! (Best hair metal band ever)
5. Led Zepplin (The best Rock band ever! Period.)
So, who are your top 5 ?
Great thread. Geez there are so many. I don't know if I can do a top 5, but five artists I love definitely would include Joe Bonamassa in all of his various projects and especially solo, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, The White Stripes, and Pearl Jam (hey I'm a 90's child, after all!) But there are others...
- Peace and Joe,
