Hmmm...I think about my favourite albums a lot, but I don't think in terms of my fave BANDS as much.

However...

Low
My Bloody Valentine
Pavement

― weasel diesel (K1l14n), Thursday, 26 December 2002 01:29 (twenty-one years ago) link

The Fall
Pop Group (Mark Stewart's solo albums were also rather brilliant)
Can

Those aren't the bands I'm listening to most at the moment, but they're the bands who've given me the most entertainment over the last couple of decades.

― Dave K, Thursday, 26 December 2002 05:42 (twenty-one years ago) link

i'd say:
Ground Zero
Bark Psychosis
Charalambides

reserving the right to substitute AMM and Pentangle for any of the above, at any time.

― summerslastsound (summerslastsound), Thursday, 26 December 2002 06:01 (twenty-one years ago) link

my 3 favourite bands are -
the stooges
the saints (1974-1980)
cosmic psychos

why? -
they are 3 bands that really kick out the jams
with truly individual expressions of punk
these guys won't ever date

― Jason Beale, Thursday, 26 December 2002 06:46 (twenty-one years ago) link

my definition of favorite would have to be greatest total number of hours logged listening through free will. thus:

beatles
sonic youth
pixies

i can "name that tune" by any one of these bands in like 3/4 of a second

Echo & the Bunnymen
Joseph Arthur
David Sylvian (sort of sharing and alternating 3rd/4rd spot with Roxy Music/Bryan Ferry solo, but Sylvian ultimately wins because of Gone To Earth).

going for a "Joseph Arthur" was used in a non-musical context in my childhood!
