Who are your top 10 Band as of right now?

[kaos2900]

No explanation needs, as of this moment who are your top 10 bands.

1. Dream Theater
2. Iron Maiden
3. Neal Morse
4. Alter Bridge
5. Between the Buried and Me
6. Nightwish
7. Haken
8. The Dear Hunter
9. Symphony X
10. Zac Brown Band

[Train of Naught]

I know my top 5 by heart but 10 is pretty hard. I also prefer top 10 'current' bands to 'of all time', it's easier to decide.

1. The Dear Hunter
2. The Mars Volta
3. God Is An Astronaut
4. Between The Buried And Me
5. Periphery
6. Alcest
7. Leprous
8. Soen
9. Protest The Hero
10. Novembre

And then there's Native Construct who should easily have made the list, but considering they only have 1 album out I can't justify putting them on there. And Slice The Cake, who have one stellar album and otherwise an OK catalogue at best.

2. Shadow Gallery
3. Redemption
4. Nightwish
5. Kamelot
6. Symphony X
7. Transatlantic
8. Epica
9. Pain of Salvation
10. Opeth

Haken, who I've been listening to for about a month, has the potential to crash the party for sure.

[Stadler]

I don't know how to separate "current" from "all time".  The numbers may change; I'm loathe to just list what I'm listening to now, since Fish and Brand X are probably not in the upper echelon, but I've been listening to them a lot lately because I made some purchases...

1. The Beatles
2. Genesis
3. Yes
4. Iron Maiden
5. Kiss
6. Deep Purple
7. Marillion
8. Cheap Trick
9. Sabbath
10. Dream Theater

Too many ohers that should be here, too:    Night Ranger, Widespread Panic, the Dead, Rush, The Rolling Stones, Zeppelin, Billy Joel, Elton John...

This is too hard.

[Prog Snob]

1. Dream Theater
2. Pink Floyd
3. Rush
4. Anathema
5. Steven Wilson/Porcupine Tree
6. Marillion
7. Neal Morse/old-Spock's Beard
8. Savatage
9. Epica
10. Within Temptation
11. Yes

It get's all muddied around the end there. Yes used to be a Top 5 band for me. Genesis used to be a Top 10 band, along with Crimson and ELP. I think they round out the Top 15 with The Beatles. Fates Warning used to be a Top 5 band, too. How things change... I forgot about Type O Negative, too. It's not easy picking so few bands with so many to choose from.

[Stadler]

And I forgot Pink Floyd.   And AC/DC.

My fave five used to be AB, Rush, Foo Fighters, Skillet, and Shinedown as of mid-2015, but Skillet and Shinedown was disappointing me with their latest albums and Foo Fighters hasn't really done anything since then and I probably overplayed them (Foo Fighters) to the extent of wanting to take a break from them and then reevaluate on their stuff and hope any future releases are great.

[bundy]

Hard to pick just 10 as I try not to listen to the same album more than twice in the same month. Each of the following bands I do tend to listen to a lot though and each have been in my top tier of bands for the past 15 years at least:

Devil Doll
Yes
Jethro Tull
Banco Del Mutuo Soccorso
Pavlov's Dog
Tangerine Dream
Rush
Camel
Black Sabbath
Hawkwind

Some of the other bands that I've been listening to pretty consistently for the best part of 30 - 40 years and enjoy as much now as I ever have:

Supertramp
Pink Floyd
Genesis
Elton John
Bowie
Marillion
Asia (particularly the first 3 albums)
ELP
Uriah Heep
Rainbow
Deep Purple
Roxy Music
The Moody Blues
Simon and Garfunkel
Bob Dylan
Leonard Cohen
etc.... I could go on but if you got this far... thank you, well done and I won't bore you any longer as you probably get the idea
