I have to say my favorite group is The Beatles.

MIDNATSOLL
MARTIN GRECH
STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN
SKINDRED
CREAM
JIMI HENDRIX

I've listened to Hendrix and Cream. Didn't like Cream, loved Hendrix. Some jackass stole my cd's one day, though, and I never could find the Hendrix cd they took.

Lot's more... I am too lazy to name them all though...

Many many bands.. so glad Skindred got a mention though.. My band played with them a couple of years back.... cool.

the party of helicopters - they are like nothing ive ever heard before. jamie stillmans guitar riffs are just so different sounding yet so rocking and joe dennis' ethereal vocals add a nice touch to all the chaos going on over them

also led zep because...well they're led zep
