Re: Top 10 Bands
Let's not forget Can. Their influence is gigantic, yet I've never met anyone irl who's heard of them.

Re: Top 10 Bands
The only Beatles album I love is Revolver. Revolver's great. Other then that, it's just good music that doesn't do anything extraordinary for me at all.

Re: Top 10 Bands
1. Porcupine Tree
2. Godspeed You! Black Emperor
3. Boards of Canada
4. Sigur Ros
5. Brand New
After that it gets too tough. But my Top 5 has been clear for quite some time. I love all these bands for their own reason. PT just carries a vibe that no other band does and I enjoy all of their songs. GY!BE are the masters of buildups, climaxes, and spoken word samples. BoC has an atmosphere to them that provides a very different kind of enjoyablity (almost druglike, heh) compared to other artists. Sigur Ros makes possibly the most beautiful music out there. Brand New, while some might find them generic, just make consistently incredible songs (save for their debut perhaps, but their other 3 are all amongst my top 100 albums) with some of the best lyrics out there. They may belong to the "emo" genre which tends to get a bad rap, but I love them. Especially after seeing them live.
