:LOL: I don't think this is really something you needed to specify. Queen + Paul Rodgers isn't Queen at all. Queen ended when Freddie died, and I would hope Brian May and Roger Taylor would agree with that.

no order(other than NIN at #1) and I really can't get it down to 10.. so here's the 12

Nine Inch Nails
Deftones
Fear Factory
Megadeth
CombiChrist
The Crystal Method
Slipknot
Front Line Assembly
DevilDriver
Stabbing Westward
Korn
The Prodigy

Don't tell that to Michael Allred.

no particular order

rush

ween
sublime (mostly for nostalgia i think)
aerosmith (70's mostly)
andrew bird
the dead kennedys

edited to add pink floyd...how did i forget them?

I may have missed it,almost put it up, but I am surprised there is not one mention of Chuck Berry. Or maybe I put too much value on him.

I think it's just that there are literally countless thousands if acts to choose from. I love a bit of Chuck but just not in my top ten, but when I hear his songs I am totally rockin' along.

In order:
1. Pearl Jam
2. Idlewild
3. Coheed & Cambria

the rest in no particular order:
Nirvana
Blind Melon
Smashing Pumpkins
They Might Be Giants
Foo Fighters
Rise Against
R.E.M.

1. Pearl Jam (and all assorted Eddie Vedder solo work)
2. Soundgarden (and all related Chris Cornell work: solo/Temple Of The Dog/Audioslave)
3. Nirvana
4. Guns N' Roses
5. Iron Maiden
6. U2
7. The Beatles
8. Megadeth (tied with below)
8. Metallica (tied with above)
10. The Who

Trying to narrow the list to only 10 bands is like asking me - "out of this 100,000 dollars, which ten ones do you like the most"?

But, off the top of my head, for this moment in time (it could easily change in ten minutes time) and in no specific order, I'd say...

Cheap Trick
Alice Cooper
Thin Lizzy
KISS
The Beatles
The Replacements
AC/DC
Nada Surf
INXS
The Cult

1. Smashing Pumpkins (Corgan solo, etc)
2. Squeeze/Glenn Tilbrook
3. The Beatles

(No order for the rest)

The Who
The Polyphonic Spree
The Smiths/Morrissey
Bob Dylan
John Forte
Wu Tang Clan
Helmet
