Favorite bands - results

Thanks everybody who participated in the “favorite bands” conversation! I enjoyed seeing what diverse tastes we have. I’ve been listening to Edie Carey, Melissa Ferrick, Shawn Colvin, Dierks Bentley, Motion City Soundtrack, Ben Folds, Norah Jones, Soul Coughing, Damien Rice, and Les Claypool on grooveshark.com and enjoying them all.

If you’re not familiar with Grooveshark, give it a try. You can find and stream just about any music in a matter of seconds, including playlists. If you register (free) you can save and share playlists.

For the record, my favorites: Beatles, Paul Simon and Garfunkel, Elton John, Barbra Streisand, Eagles. The last two are iffy and really tied with (in rough descending order): Moody Blues, Three Dog Night, Neil Diamond, The Who, CCR, Johnny Cash, Beach Boys, Chicago, Queen, Pink Floyd, Tom Petty, Willie Nelson, Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, Billy Joel, Eric Clapton (inc. Cream), Sting/The Police, Aerosmith, Frank Sinatra, The Carpenters, They Might Be Giants, The Doors, Jethro Tull, Bob Dylan
