Such bands (for me) include: The Pixies, Stereo Total, The Adverts, Fugazi (they sometimes do make my top 5, but not consistently...), Helmet, the Kinks, The Beatles, The Subhumans, T. Rex, and the the first three albums by Manic Street Preachers. And probably about 30 more.
Pixies / Joy Division both land somewhere in my 'favorites' list, so I'm not sure I can include them... I suppose Adam & the Ants / Beatles would count...?
How about a 'Your Top 50 Bands' thread --- attempting to get them IN ORDER. Heh? Heh? Could be a good challenge.
