Sonic Youth, The Smashing Pumpkins and System of a Down are my joint favourites, followed closely by bands like Pink Floyd, The Beatles, Black Sabbath, RHCP and My Chemical Romance (lol), I dunno sometimes its really difficult, depends what mood im in!

Without a shadow of a doubt SY are my favourite band... and have been for a very, very, long time, which is a little scary... especially for my loved one, family and friends.

I do however, listen to a lot of other bands as well.

since i 1999 i have been a hardcore sonic youth fan to the point of crushing obsession.. i've been a bit distracted by the underground/noise scene recently but I keep coming back to the Youth.. Rather Ripped took quite a few listens for me to dig it but I think this is cuz i have mainly been listening to solo noise lately eg. diskaholics, four guitars, lee ranaldo, as well as stuff like wolf eyes, whitehouse, double leopards... i had forgotten about structured songs... but the new record has reignited my love of old school sonic youth again and i feel particularly teenage right now.. teenage obsession... extreme teenager.. romantic.. dangerous... volatile...

sonic youth was my only favorite band for about a year and a half. close behind were bands like my bloody valentine, dilute, fennesz, tortoise, sparklehorse, the flaming lips, deerhoof, and yo la tengo. then in the past two weeks i've been listening to a lot more of the flaming lips and some of their earlier records, learning more about why they do what they do and what they represent . . . and then i heard zaireeka. it's a four disc album where you play each disc at once from four stereos. not only that, it's like an experimental music kit as they encourage you to mess around with the sound characteristics of the stereos you use for each disc, which discs you play, how many you play, where you position the stereos, playing in synch or out of synch, and basically anything you can think of. anyway, it was basically the greatest thing i've ever experienced. i was shaking the whole time. the flaming lips have joined sonic youth as my favorite bands.

I'd hesitate to call them my favorite band, but they certainly copmpete for it. And I'd have to put them into my top 5. They are easily the most diverse and impressive. So yeah, in a certain way they are my favorite.

SYare the only band I will drop everything to see, every time they come to my town, for as long as they are together. But I don't listen to them that much otherwise, unless it's after a new record has come out. My other favorites at the moment are Animal Collective, Deerhoof, Black Keys, Godspeed, Mogwai, Neutral Milk Hotel, etc. Then there's the dinosaur bands like Sabbath, Stones, Dylan, that deserve a place too. So yeah, I voted that I don't have a ranking system.
