Most of my favorite artists are UK-based as well. European rock tends to sound more pleasing and interesting to my ears than North American rock. WHY that is, though, might need a psychological essay to explain.. :)

Highly subject to change, but these will always have a high place on the list even if they aren't in the current top 5:


Rush: Well, anything by Rush.
Lake of Tears: Fantasy metal from Sweden, one of the best bands no one has ever heard of. :P
Pink Floyd/Roger Waters: Again, no way I could pick a single album.
Led Zeppelin: Most of what I own are compilation albums, but I think they cover a pretty broad spectrum.
Dio: Solo, Sabbath, Rainbow, Elf. In that order.


Today's Honorable Mentions:

Blue Oyster Cult (May I have a sixth? Please?)
Joni Mitchell
Dream Theater (Nice to see them on the list so many times.)
David Bowie
Peter Gabriel/Genesis

...I'll add to the list later. 8)

Oh, a change is coming, feel these doors now closing
Is there no world for tomorrow, if we wait for today?

1. Radiohead.
2. Dissection.
3. The Smashing Pumpkins.
4. Sigur Rós.
5. Ayreon.

Not too sure about that last one, as there's a few bands that are about tied for 5th place.

"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”

My top 5 hasn't changed at all--above are just the CDs and groups I've been listening to the most in past month. (However, Shinedown is rapidly rising through my alltime top 10).
