if opeth is NOT your favourate band... what is?

The only band I like better than Opeth is Danzig. I've listened to Glenn Danzig's music for almost 15 years now. However I often wonder if someone were to introduce me to Opeth and Danzig for the first time, right now, what band would be my favorite. I'm pretty sure it'd be Opeth.
 
My favourite band changes depending on the mood (sometimes I really don't feel like listening to Opeth) but here are some bands I really love:

Radiohead (anything except Pablo Honey which is really average)
Porcupine Tree
Godspeed you Black Emperor! Anyone here heard of them? To me they make some of the most beatiful music.

And if I just want to rock out I listen to some Queens of the Stone Age.
 
Opeth is my fav, but there is alot of great stuff VERY close behind them.

Dark Tranquillity, David Bowie, Anathema, and Pearl Jam come to mind.
 
hmm opeth is in my top ten list, but i love these bands more

Death
Emperor
Dark Traquillity
