Warren Zevon just passed away this weekend. I don't know if he'll make any top 100 list, but he was special.

I'll show some agedness too:

- Cream
- Derek and the Dominos
- The Rolling Stones, of course.
- The Who

All obvious ones, and then I'll add sentimental fave:

- Little Feat

Hey Dragonfly, BOC was a GREAT band - and sometimes performed as Soft White Underbelly. Don't let these whippersnappers put ya down!

[jeff]

I like Inq's inclusive notion of "band". Whatsamatter, you don't like the Berlin Philharmonic under Von Karajan?

[damion18d]

Hobex(local North Carolina area band)
Pearl Jam(great live shows and music with a conscience)
Dave Mathew's Band(excellent live shows)
Van Halen(David Lee Roth years)
Journey(most under rated great band of all time)

My answers are under the notion of "rock bands" there are some great soloists out there. Also so new artists that don't have longevity under their belt yet.

[mollusk]

The Mothers

and I forgot these the first time:

The Yardbirds
The Ramones
Elvis Costello and the Attractions

and the third time around I'd like to add:

Steely Dan
REM
Howlin' Wolf
Lenny Kravitz
Nirvana
Jimi Hendrix
The Pretenders
Talking Heads
Tom Waits
The Velvet Underground
The Clash
The Kinks
J. J. Cale
Chuck Berry
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

Talking jazz ...

Miles Davis
Charlie Parker
Louis Armstrong

With the "classical" or "serious" groups mentioned elsewhere, most of them only do covers of the works of others. A great group performs their own stuff. Philip Glass's ensemble as a great "serious" band perhaps?

It's John McLaughlin and the Mahavishnu Orchestra. The Electric Light Orchestra is an entirely different group with no affiliation (to my knowledge).

[Craig]

milli vanilli

[Nusy]

Yeah, I almost forgot the Rolling Stones... and Enya

[Dragonfly]

I stand CORRECTED! on the Mahavishnu thing; and what age, I am ageless! I stopped listening after New Age, everything up to Dolphins Singing was okay, after that Blah! I like music with some pow to it, or really weird.

More favorites:

Ravi Shankar
Shanti Shanti Shanti [peace peace peace]
Hindi Music - give it whirl you'll get into it
Reva MacIntyre
Suzanne Vega
The Blue Jays [a spin off from the moody blues]
The Moody Blues
