1) The Doors.. Love the way Morrison pushed the envelope..It where my call sign comes from.
2) The Who.. A J...Nothing like those guys in concert.
3)AC/DC.. Another excellent concert, which I begged out of my folks 41st wedding anniversary dinner... Mom Dad, thanks for letting me go...
4)Metallica.. Love the head bangin
5) Meatloaf.. Bat out of Hell is a classic.. Just bought it again..
Im going to add a 6th, last and most certainly not least, any big band/swing.. It goes amazingly well when building a WW II AFV.. Have to thank the folks for the love of that music as well..

OK here's Murphy's Picks

1: SplendorLex (My last band, kinda Pixies meets Frank Zappa)
2: Dropkick Murphy's (Boston Irish Punk!)
3: Barrelhouse Chuck (Chicago Blues Piano, and a very good friend of mine)
4: Metallica ('cause it's Metallica, man!)
5: Steve Vai (not the best entertainer/songwriter, but the absolute god of gymnastic, alien-killing stunt guitar! He started at age 16 on the road with Frank Zappa as "the stunt guitarist")

Yes, a very diverse collection, I know.
A lot of German & French Armorama members might have heard of Barrelhouse Chuck, it seems he goes there all the time.
Well I gotta go listen to some music now...odd.

Only 5?
There's so many...well I am a little older than most and have had more time to collect more favourites than our younger members..... #:-)

So...not in any particular order

Chicago (especially the early stuff).
Hendrix
Cream
Bruce Hornsby
Who

There are loads more I could add.....more like 5000

There's a few in previous replies that bring back a few memories and a heavy attack of the nostalgics.
Mother's Robin Trower
Easy Off's Boston
Wolfsix's Stevie Ray Vaughn

Plus
Buffalo Springfield
Jeff Healy
Journey etc etc etc

Cheers
Peter

1 The Beatles - they started it all, and influenced everyone.
2 The Jimi Hendrix Experience - they changed the sound of Rock and Roll both live and recorded.
3 The Who - the energy they put into their performances paved the way for everybody else, not to mention the power of Pete Townsend's guitar
4 The Doors - the combination of the band's music (HIGHLY underrated IMHO!) applied to Jim Morrison's lyrics/singing was magic.


And just because they're so damn good,

5 The Allman Brothers Band - brought together the themes of Rock and the Blues, invented Southern Rock, and are as good today as they were 30 years ago, no mean feat considering the fact that they've lost BOTH guitar players (Duane Allman and Dickey Betts) as well as the bass player, Berry Oakley.

(And "The Fillmore Concerts" is actually the best live album ever recorded.)

Hahaha Everyone I know doesn't know who Stratovarius is
Besides, I think why that is, they looking weird, and they have strange music.

But they are very cool!!

What sort of music do they play, Hilbert?

Hi-
whilst I find it extremely difficult to narrow it down to five and my choices are probably based upon what I've been listening to lately, here goes:


Gong (including off-shoots Steve Hillage, Here & Now)
Love
Julian Cope
various Kosmischemusik bands
Rain Parade

Having said that I was listening to Caravan on the way into work today...
MC
