311, hands down. Their earliest albums blew me away. "Music", "Grassroots", "311", and "Transistor" are still regulars on my playlist. After a couple of below average CDs (in my opinion) their latest "Uplifter" is fantastic.
Did you go to the show at Stephens in 2005? Between the Summer of 03 and Spring of 06 I saw O.A.R 9 times, including two nights opening for DMB out in Alpine Valley. Great times, but I burned myself out on the band. I hated their last album, but theyll always have a special place in my heart.
My all time favorite bands, would have to be in order.
1a. Rolling Stones: so timeless, classic, and influential. In the late 60s and early 70s they put out some of the best albums ever made. Love their bluesy, gritty, somewhat country influenced sound. The soundtrack to a lot of my collegiate career.
1b. Drive-By Truckers: I mention these guys in about every music thread on this board, but they are so ******* good. Switching from haunting, lonesome old school country tunes to face melting guitar solos, balls out old school Southern rock, and some of the most thought provoking, yet straightforward lyrics being written today, almost everyone of their songs sounds like something Ive witnessed or experienced.
2. Pearl Jam: Eddie Vedder is such a powerful singer and lyricist, and the band (especially Mike McCready) can just soar sometimes. They have covered so many bases in their career and have refused to be pigeon-holed, and have continued making powerful music for almost 20 years.
HMs: Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, RHCP, The Who, Jack White and anything he touches, The Band
Supergroup: Im only going to use people who are alive today.
Lead Vocals: Eddie Vedder
Guitar\Vocals: Jack White
Guitar 2\Vocals: Mike Cooley (Drive-By Truckers)
Bass: Flea
Drums: Dave Grohl

Didn't get to go to that one. I went to Council Bluffs last summer for their outdoors show. Great time.

Eagles... and there is not even a close second.
I didn't read every post but I didn't see anyone mention Lynard Skynyrd.
Simple Man is one of the greates songs ever recorded (However I sort of like the Shinedown version of this song better)
