Replacements
R.E.M.
Tom Waits
Bob Dylan
Radiohead
Spoon
Pavement
Velvet Underground
The National
The Pixies
Top 10 ever, probably not, but those are the first ten that came to mind so I'm betting they'd all be in my top 25 at least.

Re: Your Top 10 bands/artists of all-time
Per Last.fm:
1. Fleetwood Mac (and assorted Solo - both Stevie and Lindsey also appear in my top ten)
2. Death Cab For Cutie
3. Regina Spektor
4. Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers (and solo - if combined this would be number two)
5. Tori Amos
6. The Killers
7. Low Vs. Diamond
8. Weezer
9. Blink 182
10. Alkaline Trio
Somewhat accurate but some appear so high (Regina and Low for instance) because I played those albums non stop for about a month (Begin to Hope and Self Titled respectively). I would probably say and in this order:
1. Fleetwood Mac
2. Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
3. Death Cab for Cutie
4. Tori Amos
5. Muse
6. The Killers
7. Regina Spektor
8. Peter Gabriel
9. Pink Floyd
10. The Pretenders
