It's been mentioned before. At any point in your life, a favorite band might change. But there will always that group or groups that you dust off the old CD's from time to time. I'll show my age
- Allman Brothers Band, Eat a Peach
- Jethro Tull, Aqualung
- The Who, Who's Next
- Black Sabbath, Self Titled (I think it was their debut album)
- Crosby Stills & Nash, Self Titled (It was their debut album)

This thread is kind of like the old discussion "If you were stranded on a deserted island, which albums would you want to have?"

With their respective hits, I'm kind of surprised these two haven't been mentioned so far:

U2 - The best concert I've ever seen was U2 in Houston in '92, with the Pixies as the opening act. (The Pixies were great also - Frank Black is a hoot.) I've seen U2 twice since then, and their live shows are always epic. I think I own every U2 album, plus a bunch of bootleg recordings. I believe they have sold over 150 million records, and have won 22 Grammy awards (more than any other band).

The Cure - I was also fortunate to see these guys in person toward the end of their mainstream popularity. Great show, and I've got most of their albums.
