Mine would be:
Pink Floyd: Roger Waters' brilliant lyrics combined with one of the most gifted guitarists on the planet, and the ability to write dazzling music is a winning combination.
Led Zeppelin: Lyrics sometimes a bit crap, but brilliant music combined with one of the most gifted guitarists on the planet, and a dynamic live show must have been a sight to behold.
Radiohead: Although some of their stuff can be a bit experimental, I've always thought they share a similar feel to the Floyd without sounding much like them. Going to see them live for the first time in a couple of months.
Pixies: The band that produced the blueprint that Nirvana emulated so successfully. A genuinely exciting band.
The Jesus & Mary Chain: Velvet Underground copyists with a volume dial that went to 11. Some of their albums are patchy, but JAMC at full throttle is a fearsome beast.
