What are your top 5 favorite artists?

1. Rush. Insane talent from all three musicians. They have great diversity in their music, and they have matured in their sound over the years, but still have the "Rush" sound. If you know what I mean... And they make some big sound for three men on stage. :music:

2. Led Zeppelin. What else can I say?

3. Stevie Ray Vaughan. Only had 6 albums, wish he had 60.

4. Jimi Hendrix. Another one that had too few albums...:tears:

5. The Who.

And any other mix of 60's and 70's bands you want to name, Pink Floyd, Mountain, Buffalo Springfield, etc. Great selections by all the AKers here, by the way. :thmbsp:

He is one of the many I probably forgot, but could easily move up to the number one spot on my list on any given day. Saw him last year and he's still amazing!:yes:

I know Robin really has been overlooked since he started, but I really love his stuff. I really need to see a show of his before he is unable or unwilling to tour, I have seen tons of recent videos and he most definatly still has it:yes:
