    These are just my top plays from the last seven days - if I had to name for all time, I'd spend all time trying to decide...

    Lightning Dust
    Wondering What Everyone Knows
    My favourite song from their new album Infinite light

    Damien Rice
    Prague
    Originally a "hidden" track after Eskimo Friend, always loved it and now I have a live version I can play without having to listen to - or fast forward through - Eskimo Friend.

    iLiKETRAiNS
    Remnants of An Army
    Discovered the band by chance, bought the album Elegies to Lessons Learnt about a week ago - love it.

    PJ Harvey
    Catherine
    From Is This Desire - I'm still discovering depths to PJ's songs

    The Frames
    Early Bird
    I just love this song - it's the kind of song music was invented for... :D

    INCUBUS
    INCUBUS
    and again
    INCUBUS.

    Ok, I'm exaggerating. But seriously, Incubus is definitely my favourite band, ever. I'm new to the forums and was so happy when I saw Icubus creep up in this thread.

    I also like,

    COLDPLAY
    THE VERVE
    JET
    FRANZ FERDINAND
    FOO FIGHTERS

    Youth and One Day are amazing albums. He's the only thing approaching rap or reggae I can stand.

    (I haven't included ratings, because I don't like the idea. Musicians are ever changing and developing and making mistakes. If I didn't think highly of them, they wouldn't make this list. Also, songs are just current favourites, as they are ever changing, and I find it impossible to choose ONE song from say 4+ albums ^-^)

    Favorite Band: Muse
    Favorite Song: Map Of The Problematique

    Favorite Band: Placebo
    Favorite Song: Every You Every Me

    Favorite Band: Metallica
    Favorite Song: Turn The Page

    Favorite Band: Depeche Mode
    Favorite Song: Shake The Disease

    Favorite Band: Duran Duran
    Favorite Song: Come Undone

    I'm kind of REALLY into music & have a horrible time coming up with Top 5 lists (my Best of the Year lists are typically 50 or so albums long...). But these 5 bands are consistently always at the top:

    Band: Gogol Bordello
    Fave Song: Start Wearing Purple
    ** I typically go to 1 concert a month (prior to having a baby which has killed my social life, lol) and they are hands down the best band I've ever seen live.

    Band: Gaslight Anthem
    Fave Song: Red At Night

    Band: Girl Talk
    Fave Song: I honestly don't pay attention to songs with Girl Talk albums... they all just flow together for me

    Band: Say Anything
    Fave Song: Admit It!!

    Band: Dresden Dolls
    Fave Song: Sing


    Bands that I'm just getting into but are rocketing up the list: Frank Turner, Jessca Hoop, Polar Bear Club, Matt & Kim

    A very interesting mix indeed!

    Mine in order:

    1). RadioHead-Absolutely love them, from their lifting instrumentals to their lyrics, unique and brillant.

    2.) Queen- Freddie Mercury put amazing energy, to make Queen what it is with the others. some classics, with the ever definining and stand out voice of Mercury.

    3.) Oasis- Love their songs, real soulful

    4.) Green day- Prefer their older stuff, but they have made some real great stuff

    5.) U2- Don't like most of the new stuff, but songs like With or Without you and City of Blinding Lights made me really like them.
