Wait. I just made a list of my favorite bands that includes U2 and not Bob Marley? How can that be?

Cool idea. Some were harder choices then I wanted to have to make, resulting in a close runner up in parentheses.
A - The Allman Brothers Band B - The Band C - Creedence Clearwater Revival D - David Bowie E - Elvis Costello F - Fleetwood Mac (old Peter Green version) G - Grateful Dead H - Howlin' Wolf I - Iron And Wine J - Jimi Hendrix K - The Kinks L - Led Zeppelin M - My Morning Jacket N - Nirvana O - Oasis P - Pink Floyd Q - Queen R - Radiohead S - Strokes T - Talking Heads U - U2 V - The Velvet Underground W - Wilco/The Who (tough one - flip a coin) X - XTC Y - The Yardbirds Z - ZZ Ward

I think that's all it can ever be. On another day, I might have picked Nick Cave or The National or The Rolling Stones or REM. I could agonise over an arbitrary comparison all night, or go with what feels right in the moment.
