A-Z: List Your Favorite Music Band/Singer

This is a lighthearted thread, just to see how many people can actually fill out the full alphabet with names of bands they ACTUALLY like. Not just a list of random bands.

Here is my attempt:

A = Aerosmith
B = Boston
C = Charlie Daniels Band
D = Damned Yankees
E = Electric Light Orchestra
F = Foreigner
G = Grateful Dead
H = Heart
I = INXS
J = Jethro Tull
K = Kiss
L = Led Zeppelin
M = Morphine
N = Nirvana
O = Ozzy Osbourne
P = Pink Floyd
Q = Queen
R = Rush
S = Styx
T = Ted Nugent
U = U2
V = Violent Femmes
W = Winger
X =
Y = Yankovic, Weird Al
Z = ZZ Top


I only missed one, the letter X. Not that there are no bands starting with X, just that there are none that I have listened to that I would consider a favorite.

Now its your turn to try. It is harder than you might think.

Good Luck!

A: A perfect circle
B: Baroness
C: Coheed and Cambria
D: Deftones
E: Eagles of death metal
F: Fall of Troy
G: Greatful dead
H: Homebrew

X would be the punk band "X" named for female lead singer songwriter Exene Cervenka 1980-85; real name: Christine Cervenka whom was married to the film star Viggo Mortensen for 9 years; had a son together.

Actually, I like all three. But Aerosmith was my first introduction to the Rock genre back in the early 70's.
Other than criticize, are you up for the challenge?

a reply to: Abysha

Great list, and yes, that is the challenge. It's easy to just list random bands. It is a lot harder to do when you must only list the ones you like.
