Some more picks from people.
The Clash
The Who
Tom Waits
Bob Dylan
and, I dunno, Ella Fitzgerald era Duke Ellington band just to make sure that everyone thinks I'm a music snob.
Then again Led Zed is pretty good too.
Yes, Mike, us music snobs have got to stick together in this crazy world of cock rockk.
Polly is taking your "bands" thing literally and thus leaving out
Stevie Wonder (and the reason you would put him in is????? Sorry, hate SW)
Elvis Presley
Van (the man I assume)
David Bowie
so...
Led Zeppelin
The Kings of Leon
The Beatles
Fleetwood Mac
The Rolling Stones (which Luke has also voted for)
I have a feeling the kings of cock are going to run away with this one.

I think my problem is that very few bands remain good for very long. Both Prince and David Bowie had a period of about ten years where they were the most amazing people around and were making really great music that still sounds fresh and interesting today, but they both kind of pissed it away in their later careers.
Please don't pick Van Morrison, I hates him, precious.
REM have become pretty impressive again, as well. Hmm. I can't decide.
Prince then, Prince. Because nobody else has voted for him yet, and because I love him.
I don't like being That Prick Who Scoves At Others' Taste, but for all that the Kings of Leon are surely a lovely bunch of lads, I reckon that anyone who thinks they are The Greatest Band Ever perhaps needs to get out more.
Scoff, scoff!! I think "other's" is the most important bit in that sentence.
The Kings of Leon are the most interesting and entertaining thing to come along in quite a while... I know they only have three albums, but they are very good albums and they are a seriously excellent live act. There, taste defended. exhale. :-)
I've never heard of them so they can't be any good.
Cheers
The kings of cock are the Zed.
The Kings of Leon are a good band, Michael!!
Cheers yourself
I suppose what I mean about the Kings of Leon is that, while grand, they are not really much more than the sum of their influences, if that. They also went rubbish when they shaved off their beards.
