For me it’s tough i go a lot and I like almost every type of music. One I always go back too though are The Police. All three members are some of the best on their respective instruments and Sting as a front man had charisma out the ass. I wish they could’ve kept it together. Wbu?
Springsteen: I know he has his distractors but if you want a surprise treat, listen to his cover of the Bee Gees, Staying Alive. Talk about great solos!
Rush - All three have been considered masters of their instruments for the last 40+ years, amazing lyrics and incredible music, their only weakness was Geddy's vocals on some of the songs.
Honorable mention: 10cc; Yes; Alan Parsons Project; Emerson, Lake and Palmer.
I learned to like the Beatles after some of my friends in bands helped me appreciate their place and influence in the broader music scene. Not my favorite, but I can listen to them now. Kinda like I thought of Stevie Wonder as the "Don't Drive Drunk" guy until I got to college.
AC/DC was one of the best shows I ever saw! Up in Orlando.
Being an old guy, one great show I got to see had Little Richard and Chuck Berry in it. Those two and having seen Bo Diddley,THAT was a trifecta!
Poison is my favorite. After that some combination of Motley Crue, Def Leppard, Bon Jovi, Van Halen, Scorpions, Whitesnake, Guns N Roses, White Lion, Cinderella, Skid Row, Tesla, Warrant, Faster Pussycat, Europe and a bunch of others.
But I have wide musical taste, from classic rock such as AC/DC and Rolling Stones to pop like Britney Spears, Lady GaGa, Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish etc. Others listed here, I love ABBA, Beach Boys, and can't forget the Village People.
I'll just list two of each of my primary genres since picking just one person/group is near impossible for me. I'll just name the ones where I have the most songs on my personal playlist;
Classic Rock: Ozzy Osbourne, Metallica | Alternative Rock: A Perfect Circle, Deftones | Heavy Metal: Korn, Sepultra
Classic R&B: Tony! Toni! Toné!, Luther Vandross | Jazz: Bobby Caldwell, Tony Bennett | Old School Hip Hop: DMX, LL Cool J | Modern Hip Hop/Rap : Kevin Gates, Rick Ross
Old School Dance/Trance: Alice Deejay, Cher | EDM/Dubstep: Zeds Dead, Diplo
This was very hard to narrow down. I listen to almost all music.
Too many to choose from, so I’ll just mention my favorite bar band from college. Cornell Hurd and the Mondo Hot Pants Orchestra featuring classics like “ My Baby’s secret weapon is her spandex pants”.
I like many of the bands and singers mentioned but I’ve yet to see my current favorites mentioned, Willy Nelson and Garth Brooks, I’ve been to shows by both and they are great
Still a big Beatles fan and in the past was a CCR fan, and nobody seems to appreciate those two old greats any more both Frank Sinatra and Louis Armstrong.
Favorite bands: Ramones; Green Day; Pink Floyd; Guess Who; Grassroots; Black Sabbath;
Best Live Concerts in order of impressiveness: Pink Flyd; Ramones; Alice Cooper; The Dead; Jethro Tull; The Who; The Rolling Stones; Yes; Bruce Springsteen; The Kinks; 3 Dog Night; E.L.O.; E.L.P.; The Eagles; Bachman Turner Overdrive; John Fogarty; Southsude Johnny; Aearosmith; Mott the Hoople; Elton John; Boston; The Cras; The Fools; Meartloaf.......

Just no rap and no R+B for me.
