1. Rush
2. Yes
(Those 2 are easy. They have been my two favorite bands forever).
These 8 are the bands that are probably my favorite at this current point in time:
3. The Flower Kings
4. Ayreon
5. Spock's Beard
6. Marillion
7. Saga
8. Porcupine Tree
9. Led Zeppelin
10. The Tangent
These 8 are probably my favorite bands from all-time versus just what I am listening to these days:
3. Led Zeppelin
4. The Beatles
5. Judas Priest
6. Van Halen
7. Def Leppard
8. Metallica
9. The Flower Kings
10. The Who
Of course, I could probably list 50 honorable mention bands/artists. I wonder how these compare to the last time I listed top 10 bands. The well known fact is that these are subject to change on a daily basis. -------------

in order of preference and why .... 1. Kansas (based only on what they did in the 70's) 2. Genesis (however only with Gabriel) 3. Rush (based on their mid period) 4. Jethro Tull (based on the classic years) 5. Yes (based on the classic years) 6. Shadow Gallery (from their self titled CD to Tyranny yet strangely not their latest "successful" studio CD Room V which I found a little disappointing) 7. King Crimson (based on early 70's) 8. The Flower Kings (everything up to Space Revolver after that I go I bit shy on them) 9. Dream Theater (for their Kevin Moore years) 10. "Fish" Marillion (not for Hogarth Marillion though, it is not my thing as a whole but does have moments of brilliance I'll admit ) |

True, except for the Emo bit. Those bands are not Emo. Emo was an underground music style, existing from the mid 80's to approximately the mid 90's. It's dead now, and the bands being called Emo today are Alternative Rock and Pop-Punk bands, sometimes with a bit of Post-Hardcore or Metalcore thrown in. |

I thought like modern emo was the official term. I actually read a book about it because I used to be really big on emo (in the classic sense) ------------- <font color=white>butts, lol[/COLOR] |

Well as these bands don't sound like Emo, I see no reason why they should be called that. |

That's true, but that doesn't stop most people."Modern Emo" is too long. ------------- <font color=white>butts, lol[/COLOR] |

Unfortunately. But I don't see why people can't call it Pop-Punk and Alternative Rock. Those to names are also long but since there are loads of other bands being called that, it can't be too hard to use them for a couple more.. |

Personally, I use pop-punk ------------- <font color=white>butts, lol[/COLOR] |
