Goodbye you liar,
Well you sipped from the cup but you don't own up to anything
Then you think you will inspire
Take apart your head
(and I wish I could inspire)
Take apart your demons, then you add it to the list.

Aww, look at all the noobs crawl out of the OLP section to here. :lol:

I wonder if I ever bothered to post mine... *checks*... just as I thought, nope! Haha. Listing bands is way too hard... and there's no way I could limit it to exactly 15. :lol:

Queens Of The Stone Age-Someone's In The Wolf

Once you're lost in twillights's blue
You don't find your way, the way finds you...

Tempt the fates, beware the smile
It hides all the teeth, my dear,
What's behind them...

So glad you could stay
Forever

He steps between the trees, a crooked man
There's blood on the blade
Don't take his hand

You warm by the firelight, in twilight's blue
Shadows creep & dance the walls
He's creeping too..

So glad you could stay
Forever

I had trouble even getting to 15. I basically just picked the bands that I own albums for. I'm very selective about my music. It saves money that way.

I haven't really thought about this for a long, long, long time. I might be scared to write out my own results. I wrote 16 out, but can't choose who to eliminate (I will have no problem with that though if "Healthy..." sucks the big one). This is all tentative:

1. Foo Fighters
2. Deftones
3. Cave In
4. Ash
5. Jimmy Eat World
6. Mew
7. Weezer
8. Our Lady Peace
9. Coldplay
10. Manic Street Preachers
11. Doves
12. A Perfect Circle
13. Radiohead
14. Dredg
15. Nada Surf
16. Incubus

Honorable mentions:

Silverchair (if they release another mind-blowing album next year, they'll be close to the Top 5 again probably)
Ben Folds
OK Go
Starflyer 59 (making the list essentially 20. Take that!)

I can't believe I forgot about Billy Talent. *hangs head in shame*
