1 -  Radiohead
2 -  Muse
3 -  Pink Floyd
4 -  Massive Attack
5 -  Depeche Mode
6 -  Portishead
7 -  The Killers

All my other faves are solo, like Bjork, PJ Harvey and Beck.

I really need to have a good listen to the likes of Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Who and Queen, then perhaps I could complete my list. I did just start listening to Sigur Ros and the Velvet Underground, but I haven't heard enough of them to put them on my favourites list.
