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.

Re: Top 20 favorite bands?
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.

Re: Top 20 favorite bands?
Kanye West The Beatles Metallica Led Zeppelin Beastie Boys Pink Floyd Eminem Tool Nine Inch Nails Foo Fighters Arcade Fire Radiohead A Day To Remember Death Cab For Cutie LCD Soundsystem Metric Oasis Green Day Jack White (and all his other stuff) Taylor Swift
Surprisingly easy. Had 19 on the first run through my library and Taylor's 4 great albums earn her the last spot.

Re: Top 20 favorite bands?
I have a hard time calling Taylor Swift, Eminem, and Kanye West bands.

Re: Top 20 favorite bands?
I also feel that The Beatles, Metallica, Led Zeppelin, Beastie Boys, Pink Floyd, Tool, Nine Inch Nails, Arcade Fire, Radiohead, A Day To Remember, Death Cab For Cutie, LCD Soundsystem, Metric, Oasis, Green Day, Jack White Bands, Nirvana, Incubus, and The Black Keys aren't eligible for some reason.

Re: Top 20 favorite bands?
I made a few minor changes to my list in the first post. And I updated the photos, most of which were missing.

Re: Top 20 favorite bands?
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.
