I love the Beatles(even love their solo stuff), Radiohead, Beach Boys, U2, Petty, Fleetwood Mac, Pearl Jam and a few others mentioned.
I agree with Phish and Kiss. I have seen Phish recently with a bunch of friends that are really into them (follow them on tour) and I don't get it. The music is ok. But there is so much better. And I prefer the original aka Grateful Dead
