I have a few regional (Midwestern U.S.A.) favourites from my schoolboy days that would be up there, as well: Cheap Trick, R.E.O. Speedwagon, Styx...
Actually, twenty is too small a number! B-)

"Screw 'em." - Daniel Craig, The Best James Bond EverTM
2. Ultravox
3. Roxy Music
4. Meatloaf
5. Thin Lizzy
Ooo, but then there's Rainbow, Deep Purple, and Motley Crue.....
Thanks Loeffelholz. And yes, 5 is far too small a number. Thats kind of the idea. The challenge of narrowing your favorite bands down to 5 is half the fun! I know I really had to think to narrow mine down. There were quite a few bands that barely missed being on my list, such as David Bowie, Gorillaz, Van Halen, Simon & Garfunkel, the Jimi Hendrix Experience, and the Ramones.
Here is mine, at least for today.
1 - J Geils Band
2 - AC/DC
3 - Fleetwood Mac
4 - The Who
5 - The Pretenders
I actually had hard time naming 5, because I couldn't think of 5 that were deserving. A more current band I enjoy is The Killers.
2) The Who
3) Steely Dan
4) Journey
5) The Eagles
Edit: Oh Man, Barry I just saw your list...I agree about J. Geils and Fleetwood Mac! Good choices!
The Beatles
The Rolling Stones
Led Zeppelin
Black Sabbath
Judas Priest
Too late to add The Animals, CCR, Kiss, and the Mamas and the Papas? :007)
That's what I'm saying. If the limit is five...I've got some thinking to do

1. Keane...(yes, sorry...)
2. Snow Patrol.
3. U2
4. Duran Duran
5. Cold Play.
Edit: oooh, I missed Dire Straits....why? Oh why? I might have to shoehorn Duran Duran for that....(although DD were my complete soundtrack to my teenage years....)
well...I'll keep the list as it is...but DS are hidden sneakily behind DD
2- Greenday
3- Dire Straights
4- Metallica
5- Bon Jovi
Alex, I thought for sure you would put Jethro Tull!
Nooooooooooooooo ... you have to leave Duran Duran.I too spent my entire teenage life dreaming that I was going to marry John Taylor. Obviously all he had to do was take one look at me and he'd have been hooked .... my problem was getting him to take a look at me
Thanks Mo, what I like depends on my mood, I can listen to Sinatra one day and AC/DC the next. You had a good list too, although I am not big on Steely Dan. I like early Zeppelin (they almost made my list), but some of their later stuff, I didn't care for.
Along with, ELO, Frampton, Deep Purple, Uriah Heep, Duran Duran, Steppenwolf, Heart, Allman Brothers, Kinks ..........
Impossible to chose! :007)
Certainly is...so I'll go with....
1) The Beatles
2) The Beatles
3) The Beatles
4) The Beatles
5) The Beatles
...hope I didn't leave anyone out there
