What are your five favourite bands?

Actually Tears4Fears has some decent tunes...Change and Head over Heels are fucking classic! (plus both of those dudes had the killer 80's "fluff mullet" goin'.
 
Pink Floyd
Dream Theater
Opeth
Meshuggah
Enslaved

Just at the moment. Death will probably be up there sometime later this week. Porcupine Tree or Dragonforce might be, too, depending on my mood... or if I'm feeling tech-y, Nile or Cryptopsy.

Gordon Lightfoot is awesome.
 
Also, I had no idea the thread title said 5...I can't read right. Take the first five, there you go.

Also, yes Lightfoot is an amazing folk singer/songwriter. A genre definitive.
