Thread Starter 
Below, I have updated my Top 20. As usual, I could not manage to put them in order. What are your top 10 or 20?

*Fishbone (GAMAB and back)
*RHCP
*Jane's Addicition
*Soundgarden
*Pearl Jam
*The Police
*Van Halen (DLR-era)
*The Cult
*Smashing Pumpkins
*Living Colour
*The Pixies
*Dave Matthews Band
*The Meat Puppets
*Beck
*Morphine
*Faith No More
*Flaming Lips (wouldn't have made my 2002 list)
*Radiohead
*Mr. Bungle
*Ween (wouldn't have made my 2002 list)

// A few other bands that I love are:
=Follow For Now (only had 1 album, not sure that should qualify)
=Foo Fighters: I like them more all of the time but I think that they still have more to prove.
=Zwan: What an awesome band that Billy C. put together after eventually becoming a charicature in the Pumpkins. Zwan has only release one album and the future of the band is currently uncertain. If they stick it out a while, I'll be they will go up my list.
=Phish: Original, great, but I've got to be in the mood. //

Unless you're the biggest fan of "Free as a Bird" in the whole world, I don't think they should be on your list.
