    Inspired by some recent discussions in the “What Album Did You Just Hear?” thread... name your top ten favorite bands.

    This is actually harder than it seems to come up with. Figuring out who to include, who has to be excluded, and the ranking order is kind of tough.

    Anyway, my list:

    1. The Beatles
    2. Helmet
    3. Led Zeppelin
    4. Tool
    5. Nirvana
    6. Rage Against the Machine
    7. Mastodon
    8. The Jimi Hendrix Experience
    9. The Doors
    10. Metallica

    Bands only? Do solo artists count for this discussion?

    My favorite Smashing Pumpkins song/video was Tonight, Tonight. I know it's not always that popular, but IMO it's special in its own way.

    The greatest ever unreleased album of all time?

    More than Chinese Democracy or Smile (yes, I know that they are now out there)?

    Machina II.

    Not necessarily ranked and I tried to stick to bands and not solo artists. Mostly.
    I took Radiohead off, cause I have to have Bowie on the top 10 list.
