Edit: Ack! How did I forget Tool?! Or APC? Or Puscifer, for that matter. Or Horrorpops... Oh dear. This is tough.

^ Tough indeed.  I flipped through my CD cases and picked out five at random.  I also love and adore Backstreet Boys and Lacuna Coil, Nightwish, a few pop punk bands that I'll get teased for if I mention here (yet I'm not ashamed to admit I like the Backstreet Boys?), and I have an odd fascination with Garth Brooks.

To pick five ultimate favourites is more like lying to yourself.  There're so many more for so many different reasons.

Pearl Jam

Mariah Carey,  pre skank

Usher, although Im not too sure if Im feeling his new CD too much

Aerosmith

Justin Timberlake

These are my all time favs because I can listen to any of their CDs all the way thru and never get sick of them... hard to narrow down to 5 btw...

Van Halen (DLR era)

Rage Against the Machine

Black Crowes

Tesla

The Doors

Some honorable mentions are:

Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, AC/DC, Alice in Chains

and more recently: Amy Winehouse
