Genesis
U.K.

If we're listing singers, too, the 5 greatest are:
1) Bing Crosby

3) Mel Torme
4) Paul Rodgers
5) Frank Sinatra

1. Ben Folds
2. Tori Amos
3. Damien Rice
4. Aimee Mann
5. Journey

As always with music, it's next to impossible to narrow favorites down to just five, but here's what I've got:

1. The White Stripes
2. Collective Soul*
3. Cat Stevens
4. U2
5. The Goo Goo Dolls

*This is a relatively new love of mine which, in turn, has bumped others off the list, so I feel compelled to list Styx as an honorable mention, since they are one of my all time favorites.

Favourite Bands

1 - Genesis
2 - The Beatles
3 - Supertramp
4 - Yes
5 - Pink Floyd

Favourite Singers

1 - Josh Groban
2 - Sting
3 - Freddie Mercury
4 - Celine Dion
5 - James Taylor

Chances are they'll try to make you bring it down to 5 total Chunky.

Here are a few suggestions:

1 - The Josh Groban Genesis
2 - The Stinging Beatles
3 - Freddie Mercury's Supertramp
4 - Yes to Celine Dion
5 - James Pink Taylor Floyd

They don't have to make sense. Just have to cram them all in there somehow.

The Moody Blues
Sarah Brightman
Chris Rea
Françoise Hardy
Pre-Saturday night fever-poker up the @sses Bee Gees... Their mid to late 1960s and early 70s stuff, when they could actually sing properly and not as if they have their LPs playing on 78 rpm

Nightwish
Mago de Oz

The group has to be "the Beatles" with one exception, two if you count "Yellow Submarine" you can listen to anything they ever produced.
Male lead in a group "Freddie Mercury" on pitch alone.
Female vocalist "Karen Carpenter" Voice as smooth as a 12 year old bottle of scotch.
When I need a mood, "Nat King Cole" turns it on.
Singer I wish I could have got to know and listen before she left us, Janis Joplan.

With the exception of the Beatles this list could change on a moment's notice.......

Given the mood I'm in today:

Pink FLoyd (specifically Gilmour era)
Stevie Ray Vaughan
Early Led Zeppelin
U2 up to and including Achtung Baby
Early Stones
