I just don’t have enough favorite bands to make a list. 
Well, you could list solo artists or composers instead. I’m not very picky about the definition of “band.”

I should’ve put U2 in my list. And kudos for including their 90s music; it tends to get overlooked, which is a shame.

Okay, I guess I’ve seen this topic around long enough

My own, in no real order, other than how easy they come to the front of my mind, goes:
The Cat Empire
Bowling For Soup
Semisonic
Styx
Psychic Lover
Tyr
Finley
Steam Powered Giraffe
Abney Park
The Fold
Skyhill
I think that was 11
but I really like all those bands
so y’know

So, my music tastes have changed a bit. I don’t even like a few of the artists on my previous list anymore. (Also, a few of those were just throwaway bands I put when I couldn’t think of anything else.) Currently, my ten are:
-Jethro Tull
-King Crimson
-the Clash
-Deep Purple
-Yes
-Genesis (early)
-Frank Zappa, with and without Mothers of Invention
-Captain Beefheart
-Rush
-The Who
I still like Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, the Beatles, and CCR, but I don’t listen to them nearly as much anymore.

I usually only think of my top 5. Everything else that would fit in the five after that becomes a scattered mess of “really good bands but not my favorites.”
Not really in order:
- New Order
- The Police
- Metallica
- Genesis
- Rush
Interestingly enough, they all released pretty good albums in 1983. These 5 seem to represent the genres I like very well: electronic, heavy metal, progressive rock, post punk, and also old music. : P
The other five that might fall in the top 10… The Clash, The Prodigy, Pink Floyd, Daft Punk and The Strokes.
