That's an impossible question for me to answer. I could think about 40 or 50 bands just off the top of my head that I love. The only definitive answer is numero uno. But the other top two could change from week to week. So, my answer this week is:
1. Rilo Kiley
2. Roxy Music
3. Luna, Beatles, Neil Young/Crazy Horse, Yes, Bettie Serveert, The Roches, and Jessie Colin Young/Youngbloods (tie)
Thanks for posting this thread, it's an interesting scratch of the head question.
