US –
Rage Against the Machine
Smashing Pumpkins
Incubus
Jeff Buckley
Head Automatica (Based on one album. A fickle, but earnest opinion.)

UK -
Muse
Radiohead
Blur (ex-britpopper, what can I say!)
Led Zepellin
David Bowie. He’s a band.

What a funny thread! Are we talking about our all time favorites? The most influential bands? The bands with the biggest followings? Most records sold? Most talent?

The word "Top" implies many things!

Ac/Dc is Australian. Wiki that to double check my facts.

My list is a mix of all-time favorite bands and influences on my music. You could do that or either or.

Incidentally, I need to correct/update my list:

Britain
1. Pink Floyd
2. Led Zeppelin
3. Beatles
4. Jethro Tull
5. Peter Gabriel (+ any pre-Collins as singer Genesis)

USA
1. Neil Young
2. Jimi Hendrix
3. Fishbone
4. Nirvana
5. Tom Waits

Apologies to David Bowie and to the late/great Bradley Nowell and all his bong-toking friends.
