1. Queen - no close second imo
2. Rush - so original, especially 70s work
3. Steely Dan - their music is so timeless and classic, _Hey 19_ sound just as good today as way back when
4. Van Halen - EVH is god except for _III_ where aliens must be involved :(
5. Sammy Hagar - his live show hooked me
6. Styx - incomparable ying and yang of Dennis and Tommy
7. TNT - how this band escape my radar in the early 90s is a mystery to me
8. Boston - first two albums were huge
9. INXS - liked their funk infused r'n'r
10. Elton John - early EJ does it for me
Honorable mention goes to Cheap Trick, who I try to see everytime they come to town. I only got around to buying _Dream Police_., but I could not get into it since for me the band and their music needs to be heard live.
I did notice that while making this list that the majority of the bands were around when I was in high school (74-78).
