Mosher Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 25 in order?Impossible. But since I'll like all of these bands I mention I don't mind if they aren't in order.

I like some better, but if the catalog is too small or too hit and miss I excluded them. And also, I definitely missed some. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dixie Dregs23.) The Pineapple Thief24.) Smashing Pumpkins25.) Queen I made a cool graphic a few years back; merging the logos of all my favorite bands - I had to figure out which bands were my "favorites". I would say the top tier ~1-8 is pretty clear for me. After that, I used a spreadsheet and developed a complicated algorithm to figure it out - rated each band that appears in my I-tunes (digitized from my CD, DVD-A and vinyl!) in various categories - percentage of their discography that I love/like/dislike, how broad is their discography (for example, there are bands that I love that have one album. Can they compete with bands that I love that have 11 albums?) how many times I'd seen them in concert, how far would I travel to see them in concert, emotional connection to the music, etc, etc. The above list has been modified from my earlier takes - I have about 180 bands/artists represented on that list. It gets tough for me as a drummer - because there are certain drummers that I follow throughout their career - for example, Bill Bruford. Loved him in Yes, King Crimson, Genesis, UK, his band, etc. Then, there are drummers like Marco Minnemann that I follow - I loved him with Steven Wilson; but also really love The Aristocrats and McStine/Minnemann (Probably one of my top albums of 2020) - I debated how can I include a new artist that I love; they haven't really stood the test of time yet. There were some bands that I loved in 1988 that I can't really anymore, etc. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YYZumbi Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 (edited) I am only sure of the order the first four rest can change from day to day. And I was also stretching it to try and reach as many as possibly. Some of these bands / Artists, I do not like all of their records only a few. Also I did not add bands / artists that I only like one record of (some of those I have), such as Talking Heads, Queens Of The Stone Age, Madonna and Alice Cooper. Queen (Includes Brian May solo)Rush (includes Geddy and Alex solo)Black Sabbath (includes Heaven & Hell and Ozzy Osbourne solo)P!nkMarillion (Fish era only, also includes his solo stuff)Led Zeppelin (includes Robert Plant solo)Pink Floyd (Includes Roger Waters solo)LuciferFrank ZappaFree (I like this one step better than Bad Company)Bad Company (includes Paul Rodgers solo, The Firm and The Law)Lita Ford (includes The Runaways)King CrimsonNirvanaPeter GabrielDavid BowieElton JohnSteven Wilson (includes Porcupine Tree)Jimi HendrixThe DarknessThe Beatles (includes John Lennon solo)SupertrampUFOBob MarleyZZ Top Edited November 24, 2021 by YYZumbi 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
