5. Bob Dylan
Iconic singer/songwriter and musical wanderer who rose to prominence during the '60s folk revival and changed the world of music.
4. Neil Young
Eternally restless figure who pursued an idiosyncratic solo career touching on everything from noise-rock and synth pop to blues and rockabilly.
3. Soundgarden
Grunge pioneers who took the heavy sludge of '70s metal and infused it with the raw aesthetic of '80s punk to become an important band of the '90s.
2. Radiohead
One of the great groups of the alternative era, a restless, experimental unit that incorporated adventurous electronics into their intellectual rock.

No other band has influenced and inspired me over such a long portion of my life. They have meant more to me for longer than any other artist.

1. Frightened Rabbit - The Midnight Organ Fight
My immediate go to pick whenever I'm asked for a recommend. Lyrics and music, perfect to me.
2. Billy Bragg - Workers Playtime
1988 was a great year for albums.
Surprisingly poppy love songs mixed in with the usual political comment. We're all waiting for the great leap forward!
3. Midnight Oil - Red Sails in the Sunset
Every song is 5 stars here. Australia's beating red heart.
5. Chastity Belt - Time to go Home
For me a perfect slacker indie rock album. Can throw this on any time and just get lost in it.

Ironic that this all played out in the Other Bands forum when it was really all about Pearl Jam the entire time

Kind of like in Lost how they were dead the whole time so they weren't really "lost" but actually being held close to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, so really they were always home.

It was going to be the original ending but it didn't get 3 votes in the writers' room.
