I always get asked "what's your favorite band?" And often I would say Stone Temple Pilots or Bright Eyes because they seem to be my favorites. But I have never really examined why I felt that way towards these two bands. So, I made myself a little chart and wrote out a long list of my favorite bands. And I came up with 5 categories to grade each band/performer on. Those categories are: Lyrics, Voice, Overall Sound, Live Show, and Listenability at any Time(can I put this cd in at any time of the day and love it)
So, on a 50 point scale, 10 per category, I came up with the list of my favorite bands right now. This is obviosuly likely to change as weird things happen to me; like getting older! But I hope you enjoy checking it out.
1. Bright Eyes (48 Points)
2. Stone Temple Pilots 47 Points)
3. Weezer (45 Points)
4. Nirvana (43 Points)
5. U2 (43 Points)
5. Brand New (42 Points on a curve)
6. Green Day (41 Points)
7. Death Cab For Cutie (41 Points)
8. Lifehouse (40 Points)
9. Saves The Day (38 Points)
10. Eve 6 (37 Points)
I know on an all-time greatest list bands like brand new, saves the day, and eve 6 would not be anywhere near the top...but they mean a lot to me and well, this is my list, right?
If I were ranking the greatest bands of all time my list would look something like this:
1. U2
2. Elvis Presley
3. The Beatles
4. Led Zeppelin
5. Nirvana
6. The Rolling Stones
7. REM
8. Oasis (Yes, that Oasis. Have you seen the GBR numbers?)
9. Black Sabbath
10. Johnny Cash
Let the bickering and arguments begin!

Why is Brand New graded on a curve?
I haven't seen them live so therefore I had to grade on a curve for them!
