I think that the responses might be giving a reasonable indication of the age of the posters; I think I'm one of the youngest so far.

Feel free to make fun of mine.
 
So hard to limit it to 5. So many others mentioned that I could have listed also, including Leonhard Cohen, BB King, Miles Davis, Frank Sinatra, and, of course, Justin Bieber. :) And anybody over 14 in the 70s just must have had a crush on Stevie Nicks...

Hey, you had The Offspring. I'm not making fun of you. Btw, did you see a good chunk of their catalog was for sale a few months back. I think it went for 35 million. That's a chunk of change, but Epitaph still has the rights to the first few albums I believe.

I didn't know that. Thanks for the info, I'm going to look into that now, do you know the background on why it was being sold?

I was first introduced to them as a kid via Crazy Taxi, but didn't know who the band was until about a decade later...

Side note: I used to fight professionally and The Offspring was always my entrance music - other than this one time when I let my dad choose. I didn't set any stipulations and he didn't tell me what he'd chosen; when I was announced "Gay Bar" by Electric 6 started playing. :eyebrow:
 
hmmmmmm
Bob Marley and the Wailers
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
Led Zeppelin

The Rolling Stones
Townes Van Zandt
The Colonel Dixies
The Wednesdays

In spite of my age (36), the first is The Beatles. We had a large magnetic tape player and my father got one tape with 3 or 4 Beatles albums on it, and I kept listening to it large part of my childhood and early teens. Than during different periods it was/is:

Eric Clapton, Deep Purple, Markus Miller, Dire Straits, but also Jan Pascal, Alexander Schall and of course quite a few others.

And I should not forget Argentinian Tango (not a band, obviously) - I still hope to get back to it with my wife one day.
 
Not enough Metal listed here...

METALLICA
Motörhead
Amon Amarth
Iron Maiden
Tool

I go through stages all the time, but I guess these bands had some considerable play time over the years.. I'll include a favourite album too although I listened to all their albums a lot

1 Radiohead (in rainbows. listened to them for a few years before in rainbows came out and to be honest wasn't overly excited for its arrival. I was a stingy kid and didn't pay a dollar for the download on their website. many years later, i find that it's one of my favourite albums.. it's aged well)
2 Beck (this varied a lot over the years... Guero has some of my favourite songs but also had some "meh" moments. regardless of how Im feeling, Beck has an album that would suit my mood. overall though, odelay is probably my most played)
3 Pixies (doolittle. i recall several times starting work in the morning to do prep as an apprentice with "debaser" kicking in. i swear it got me amped up for the whole day)
4 Ween (God Ween Satan. originally liked the song "gabrielle" and thought maybe they had other similar songs. they don't. they are ******* weird dudes with a retarded sense of humour. would usually listen to them when I was delusional with fatigue and losing my mind or when I'd get home a little too late and a little too drunk)
5 The Beatles (rubber soul. I can't remember exactly what it was that made me feel compelled to listen to this album but I still catch myself singing tracks off it now and again)

I don't listen to a lot of Radiohead or Ween anymore but the others pop up now and again. I'm not even 30 yet so I can only imagine being around when beatles or even pixies were in their prime and touring. John Lennon was dead long before I started listening to him.
 
no order. typing from top of my head, so i dont know how this list will go.

AC-DC
Elvis Costello
The Talking heads.
little big town
Jesus and Mary Chain.

Phew..that was hard.

Those five are more my kind of music. Saw Marsalis and Band once in a jazz club in Berlin, fabulous evening. BH is up there with Ella and Sarah. Mixed feelings about Nina Simone, some things are fabulous, others not even close. But I have a thing for 50's female voices - think Carmen McCrae, Nancy Wilson (with Cannonball), Blossom Dearie, Julie London, Peggy Lee, Keely Smith, Dinah Washington etc. - Almost forgot the fabulous Anita O'Day.

Ok since we're letting go a little...those that influenced me by way of my father at a very early age.

Glen Miller
Perez Prado
Louis Armstrong
Django Rheinhardt
Bing Crosby

Then when I'm ready to bomb down some trails or the streets on the single speed...Operation Ivy!
