Dire Straits. It isn't really fair to limit us to one There are so many different genres of music, and each has its best. I would break the rules a little here, if I may, and add Dr.Hook, Status Quo, Beach Boys, Eagles and The Kinks too. Nick

The best way to analyze this question is "What music would I listen too if I only had to choose ONE band on my drive to Las Vegas"? The answer: The Beatles!

j/k, but they were a local band when I lived in Wilmington Ohio in the late 80's.
No way I can truthfully say one band, cause it depends on the type of music I'm in the mood for. But okay, overall, I'd have to say the Rippingtons. I play something of theirs almost every day.
I've been listening to nothing but the LatexxxTeens and Atari Teenage Riot lately... but if I had to pick one... and only one..... it would have to be Tom Waits.

RUSH....my best friend's brother played the 2112 album for us back when it came out in 1976. I was simply awestruck and they have been my ultimate favorite for 34 years! BTW the guitarist, Alex Lifeson has a cameo roll in the latest Trailer Park Boys movie "Countdown to Liquer Day". Hilarious.

That's a strange combination... I love linkin park in severe moderation...like 2 times a year.. I have to give them credit though; they started me on one of my passions... One Step Closer was the first thing I ever rocked out to.

I think Lifeson had a cameo in the 3rd season, too. Actually, wasn't the entire band in an episode?
Its funny how so many people like to crap all over "St. Anger" and I'll be the first to admit that its not their best work - but I will ALWAYS hold a soft spot for that album.
After hearing the title track on the radio so many years ago (when I was like 10), I was hooked. I think the best thing that could happen to somebody is to start off with St. Anger (or ReLoad) and move on from there. It just kept getting better as I went backwards through their discography.
Ok - back to it.

The documentry "Some Kind Of Monster" was AWESOME! It's about the making of "St. Anger".

Tesla is the best live show I've ever been to. Both times were great. They are one of those rare bands that still puts out good music. Into The Now was a good album, and Real to Reel was a great set of covers. Forever more wasn't too bad either.

I've seen Rush twice, almost 20 years apart, and they were the two best concerts I've ever been to. No one comes close live.
