Post Re: Top 20 favorite bands?
I only have this distinction because when I think of "band", I think of a brass band, and they have instruments, whereas a "group" is not defined by its term (only that there must be a collection of performers), so I prefer to use this for just teenie bopper singing groups and non-instrumental groups.

When I hear the word "band," I believe my mind goes first to Led Zeppelin or the Who: the traditional sixties/seventies group with a charismatic front-man, a guitarist with mystique, a blues influence, (mostly) original songs, etc.

I made a few minor changes to my list in the first post. And I updated the photos, most of which were missing.

Underrated band, but have you heard the spin off group "I Am Arrows"?

Also, nods for Franz Ferdinand, and I was especially happy to hear their collaboration with Sparks, another of my favorite bands.
