Well we can really tell the average age of DVXusers by their band choices :D

Personally, I never did see what was so appealing about Pink Floyd... just didn't like the sound.

And Briceman, Greenday? Wow, most religous people I know don't have very cozy feelings for that band given their highly politically charged messages!

As for my top ten... this needs some thought!

I like too many bands in too many types of music to make a top 10 list, but I gotta add these guys into the mix:

The Traveling Wilburys

Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, Roy Orbison, Jeff Lynn and George Harrison all got together in 1988 (under different names so as not to violate contracts) and made one kick-ass classic rock album.
