What's On Your List?

I've decided to create a sort of "survey" as it were about music. I'll have listed some of my favorite bands, favorite songs, and favorite albums. And maybe some misc. items like favorite funny song or favorite new song... or something. It's taken me a long time to come up with this list...it's been hard to narrow down.
These however are in no particular order for me. I find it hard to have just ONE favorite since there are so many talented musicians out there. So even though I've made this list... it doesn't mean it's the bottom line for me. I could really have larger lists, but I've decided to limit myself. Maybe I'll come back to it another time and do an addendum to it or something!
If you want to, I'd be interested in what you'd fill in the blanks with. Go ahead and copy this and put it in your blog so I can see your list! You might even have some that I forgot to put on mine!

I know the feeling... it's difficult! I forget to give an honorable mention to Bjork too! And the genre 80's music... there's so much out there... I just decided to list my most frequently played music through the years up until now and ones that hold great memories.
