I'm glad I wasn't the only one who had a hard time with this. The last couple of spots were really hard to pick.

I forgot Asia and Oasis, too. Damnation.

I didn't even include anything outside of rock and metal. That would make it so much more difficult.

Current, and in no particular order:

Haken
Karnivool

hmmm.... let's try this.

1. Dream Theater
2. Metallica
3. All things Neal Morse
4. 311
5. Green Day

Those are easily my top 5, probably won't ever change. The next five could be any from the pool below, depending on my mood (aka, I have and celebrate all or most of the discography from these bands/artists).

"Weird Al" Yankovic
All things Mike Portnoy
Genesis
Phil Collins
Ray Wilson
Styx
Pink Floyd
Eve6
SR-71
Dashboard Confessional
Rise Against
The Beatles
Switchfoot

Mladen · « **Reply #41 on:** April 07, 2017, 10:37:52 AM »

2. The Beatles
3. Dream Theater
4. Rush
5. Led Zeppelin
6. Pink Floyd
7. Radiohead
8. of Montreal
9. Slipknot

4 and 5 seem to be switching places for a while now. I've been loving 9 and 10 for years, but only recently did the both finally reach the top 10.

Oh hell yeah! Been a fan since '95 and been to at least one show a year since 2004 (have to be over 20 at this point). I lost touch with them after Transistor, but when they put out Evolver I got back into them HARD, and they've been in the top 5 ever since. They've been killing it since Evolver, too. With the exception of Universal Pulse (which is too short, and not very strong after track 3), every album has been fantastic. And the Archive they released a couple years ago has been getting lots of play from me. Can't wait for Mosaic this summer!

cramx3 · « **Reply #44 on:** April 07, 2017, 12:51:27 PM »

Yea I was a big stereolithic fan so looking forward to Mosaic. Got my tickets to see them twice this summer after 6 times last summer. Also a fan since 95. The blue album was one of the first CDs I've ever purchased as a kid.

OpenYourEyes311 · « **Reply #45 on:** April 07, 2017, 01:04:32 PM »

Stereolithic is

Yeah, I remember in 1995 my brother picking up the Blue Album, then me stealing it from him, and then going back through the catalog and getting Music & Grassroots. He was mad about me stealing his CD, but eventually we just started sharing CDs and getting into the older albums as much if not more than the recent releases, and now we go to all the concerts together.

Love the amount of shows you saw last year. I only got to the Boston one, but it was a doozy! Juan Bond, Use of Time, My Stoney Baby, Never Ending Summer, India Ink, Get Down... man, they were on fire last summer. Now I'm getting REAL excited haha.

Samsara · « **Reply #46 on:** April 07, 2017, 02:57:54 PM »

Extremely difficult. Because "right now" and "all time" are very different. So I'll just list the current bands that hold those spots, but they aren't necessarily all-time for me (although some are):

Fates Warning
Alter Bridge
Mastodon
Sevendust
Iced Earth
Armored Saint
Iron Maiden
Alice in Chains
10 Years
Tremonti

My all time top 3 (parsed out by eras in some cases) are:

Queensryche (original lineup)
Fifth Angel
Dream Theater (1992-1997)

TAC · « **Reply #47 on:** April 07, 2017, 03:07:23 PM »

Brian, didn't realize you had Iced Earth rated so highly.

Really cool to see both the variety and certain of the same bands in the lists.

Mine has changed drastically over the years...verily. No particular order given how much it still changes daily, but this is pretty solid and has been for a while now.

The Contortionist
Periphery
Anathema
Steven Wilson (like others, I include PT in this)
Thomas Giles (and BTBAM)
Devin Townsend (and all his projects)
Riverside
Erra
Mastodon
Grimes

Since introduced to them with the glorious burden record (thanks Grappler), they have steadily risen for me.

ronnibran · « **Reply #59 on:** April 11, 2017, 07:30:50 PM »

In no particular order... And I'll include my top album from each for reference.

1 Ayreon (including Arjen solo and Guilt Machine)- The Human Equation (although there's at least 3 that are VERY close behind)
2 Neal Morse - Similitude? (hard to choose an absolute favorite)
3 Spock's Beard (Nick era) - Octane
4 Dream Theater - Six Degrees
5 Epica - Holographic Principle (can't deny I love their latest by far)
6 Redemption - Fullness of Time ("Parker's Eyes" is brilliant...)
7 Theocracy - Ghostship
8 Delain - Human Contradiction
9 Shadow Gallery - probably Legacy ("First Light" alone carries this to the top)
10 Stratovarius - Nemesis (latest album was a letdown)

The Letter M · « **Reply #60 on:** April 11, 2017, 08:29:04 PM »

In order of falling in love...
Rush
Dream Theater
Genesis
Yes
Transatlantic
Spock's Beard / Neal Morse
The Flower Kings / Roine Stolt
The Tangent / Andy Tillison
Porcupine Tree / Steven Wilson
Big Big Train

Had to exclude some, like The Beatles, Kansas, Asia, Flying Colors, and a few others, but I'd say these ten make up the bulk of the music that I love and listen to the most.

leaving out stuff like Pink Floyd, Haken & Mr. Bungle kind of makes me sad though.
