We have...um...was sheep mentioned?
As for favourite bands, I adore (sorry, there's way more than one) the Smiths, Regina Spektor, PJ Harvey, Kate Bush, Hole, Rilo Kiley, Sufjan Stevens, Tilly and the Wall, Cat Power...yes. Lots of music. My top two are probably the Smiths and Regina Spektor, and then it's a huge orgy-like tie for the third favourite spot.
Mmm, music orgy.

Hey flywithme, Marillion is certainly worth a listen. Just make sure you get some of their later music. I don't at all care for their early stuff, but that's just me. Find JadeHand, he'll be able to recommend their best.
As for me, my favorite band of all time has to be Rush. Thinking person's rock and roll. And Neil Peart is one of the few Percussionists (as opposed to Drummers) working in rock today. Not to mention the lyrics he writes. I've been lucky enough to see them twice, including seeing them perform 2112 in its' entirety!
Next, I'd have to say Genesis, especially with Peter Gabriel. I saw them in late '81. Still one of my favorite concerts ever.
In no particular order, I also regularly listen to:
Status Quo
School of Fish
Eric Johnson
Kate Bush
Tonic
Solas
Joe Satriani
Emerson Lake and Palmer
Metallica
Alan Holdsworth (how does he make those sounds come out of a guitar?!?!?!)
Green Day
U2 (though I prefer them before Zoo)
Now, since we're all friends here, I'll let out a little secret. Even though I pogo'd to the Pistols as a lad, had hair halfway down my back and headbanged in my 20s, and have been brought near to tears by a truly sublime live performance of Haydn by the Toledo Symphony, I....... listen to synthpop.
I blame Gary Numan, who I also still listen to. Then along came Men Without Hats, who I also love. And lately, I've been listening to Freezepop. There's just something about a bouncy, frothy pop song carried by a synthesizer that makes me smile. You won't tell, will you?

nah, as long as you tell no-one about my eighties obsession, I love almost all of it, good and bad, but especially Adam and the Ants Cyndi Lauper, and The Cure, love the Cure, can't believe I left them out the first time.
But the biggest shamefull confession I have, is that I kinda like the Black Eyed Peas.
I know I know, its not like i'd ever buy their albums, not even the first one (remember when they were a protest group?) But with the exception of that humpy one, I listen to their songs when they come on the radio.
That and I prefer the covers of 'How Soon is Now' to the origional Smiths version, which to many I've spoken to is sacrelige(sp?) but hey, I can't stand theat Morrisey guy (is that the right one?) his voice just makes me want to thump him. Really hard.

Foo Fighters (although i didnt really like their recent album)
Blink 182- love all thier stuff.
And thats about it (and if i was really struggling id also go with Queen)

I always stop surfing for an Aerosmith song. Even when I was 8. Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers came to me with Don't come around here no more, but I couldn't stay away. And Jewel, always so heartwrenching and breathy. Yes i said breathy. Not breasty. These are my all time favorites. Aiming for the top spot: Horrorpops.
Patricia Day=Evil Gwen Stefani on crack. Total Rockabilly Psycho B**ch Outta Hell. I love you and your stand up bass, so don't break it.
