1) System Of A Down (sensational to listen to - completely original)
2) Fony(local band, don`t get enough credit)
3) Incubus (some trully classic songs, a must for any music lover)
4) Nirvana (helped by the death of cobain, but none the less a quality band)
5) Everclear (very underated)
6) Red Hot Chili Peppers (still doing it after so long and still getting better)
7) Counting Crows (very underated, a very thoughtful band)
8) Pearl Jam (better than nirvana)

Im sorry steve, Megadeth is no way near as good as Metallica. And im sorry to tell you, but Dave Mustaine got kicked out of Metallica and if u watch Metallica: Somekind of Monster.. He clearly states that HE WOULD DO ANYHTHING to get back into Metallica. However good he may be on guitar, Megadeth is not and never will be as good as Metallica.

---These are my fav. not the BEST---

not in order, but I have tons more...

The Doors-Incredibly underrated, incredibly amazing. An original sound with original lyrics. Though Jim Morrison may not be the best singer, the passion in his voice drives me insane. He was so damn young...

Led Zeppelin-One of the greatest bands of all time, I mean, look at all they`ve done. Jimmy Page is one of the greatest guitarist of all time, and Robert Plant has a unique and amazing voice. John Paul Jones is an incredibly underrated bassist and John Bonham is a crazzy drummer who had serious talent. But, with almost every great band, someone died and killed it off. Take the good with the bad.

Van Halen-As soon as I hear Van Halen, I think of DAvid Lee Roth jumping across the stage with Eddie Van Halen playing guitar like a god. Though I like Sammy Hagar, David Lee Roth was better in my opinion. But either or, the gutair is what gets me. What else can I say...amazing.

Guns n` Roses-Slash has to be my favorite guiatarist. Axl Rose...lets just say I`m a girl that gets a little obsessive and leave it at that. But anyway, this band literally was one of the most important things in my life at time. I had listened to pop my whole life, and I got hold of AFD and finally figured out who I was. But, all in all, I wish they were still together.

Aerosmith-Oh my god...I LOVE these guys. Not only do I have Steven Tyler as my idol, the music is seriously incredible. You either last and fade or die in a blaze of fire. After decades, these guys are still blazing. Dream On makes me cry, Walk this Way makes me dance, and Rag Doll...I`m not gonna go there.

Loads more, but my hands hurt. So...yeah.
