Invent a band name, and laugh on the inside when they say "Oh yeah, those guys are pretty neat."

Erm... I say Iron Maiden, because it really is my favourite band. LOL
Sometimes I mention The Beatles as well. And if the one who asks the question is a metalhead, I also mention Manowar. And if he/she's a progger, I sometimes mention Rush as one of my favorite bands as well. Those are my 4 favourite bands, and sometimes I mention all of them.
And the sand-castle virtues are all swept away

Easy i'd say Pink Floyd, it would be true  and i would be believed. More difficult if it was Gentle Giant or PFM, i would believe you but it's a big and mostly ignorant  world out there.

AC/DC only have one song. Wink

No they're music was sophisticated enough to explicitly have a "style" that they wanted to continue doing, but they're not repetitive, and they have more than one song!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've heard that before^

I name a relatively famous band that i like just easier but i do hate where it may lead because alot of the time people assume that band represents everything you listen to

Why not answer truthfully? If someone asks you who your favorite band is, odds are they'd like to know. Maybe you'll turn them on to something new they they never would have heard about otherwise. You can always explain with a single sentence so that the other person doesn't feel stupid. ("They're this really cool progressive band from Italy!")
I generally don't like to patronize people because I wouldn't want others to do it to me.
Fortunately, I don't have this problem because my favorite band is Queen.

 Truthfully. Then 90% of people gets lost. Even if they are rather well known bands on this site.

It depends on the person. If he/she have similar tastes to me, I say some of my favorite bands. If not, I just say, "so many of them, like Pink Floyd, Genesis, Metallica" etc. or some other bands that are well known that I like.
