Top 10 favorite groups? Lets face it, this can only be opinion. There are just so many arguments to be made... Anyway, this would be mine: 1. Guess Who; 2. Steely Dan; 3. Bruce Hornsby & The Range; 4. Emerson Lake & Palmer; 5. Peter Gabriel; 6. Rolling Stones; 7. Beatles; 8. Tragically Hip; 9. Rob McConnell & The Boss Brass; 10. Led Zeppelin. I don't know, this list could change from day to day...

Peter Gabriel, a group? I love the man, don't mistake it, but even with his recent weight gain, I wouldn't classify him as a group. One of my favorites, most definitely.

I agree with including solo artists (although I would tie BC into the same legacy with TGW). My Favorite 10:
Guess Who?
Beatles/John & Paul solos
Steely Dan/Fagen solos
Robert Palmer
10CC/Godley & Creme/Wax UK
Badfinger
Squeeze
John Cougar Mellencamp
Smithereens
Dave Edmunds/Rockpile
Spirit/Jo Jo Gunn

Wow, a Smithereens fan! Do you have their version of "Shakin' All Over"?

John Mellencamp--all right!
So, how about a groups only list and then a group/single list. I say this because most of the time, when a group member goes off to do single work, it is definitely different from what was produced by the group.

E.C. & the Attractions would be in my top 5, definitely! Would've liked to seen them earlier, but they finally came to town promoting Imperial Bedroom around '82. KICKED ASS! That was the most involved I've ever seen an audience. Haven't always liked some of his work without the Attractions, but the guy is a terrific songwriter and the Attractions very talented.

Totally disagree. Elvis is a phenomenal writer with some awesome material. Pump it Up and Radio are incredible songs. Elvis P. is not a deity.

Underrated band #6. The 5 Man Electrical Band. Great players. Good music. To bad they didn't produce enough material to be considered in any ones poll.

Lists and all kinds of top 10's are the spice of life (anybody here read Nick Hornby's "High Fidelity, great book). Anyway here's my top 10 of bands (not in any order):
Guess Who
Grateful Dead
Doors
Beach Boys
Creedence Clearwater Revival
Quicksilver Messenger Service
Spirit
Moby Grape
BTO
Byrds
