Pumps it's not often you come across someone with such eclectic taste in music such as your good self. I'm quite surprised to see The Dooley's get a mention on the thread as I didn't rate them myself but each to their own obviously.
it means this thread was about 'personal choice' not taking pot shots at others selections 
So it's not about

The 90`s where my 60`s. I was an Indie kid(well a 20 something Indie kid) A great era. Massive Blur, Oasis,Verve, Charlatans fan...but for me the real class is with Led Zep, Kinks,Beatles etc. These are the bands which will stand the test of time. Same with Nirvana i think.
Although favouritism is something which is free to all. Good choices though pal.

Oasis are already starting to blend into the background. The music did not have the long lasting grooves. It was for that time. Great for that era but bye bye. They were a mild version of a few genres. A little bit of Beatles, a little bit of Sex Pistols, a little bit of the Jam, a little bit of T Rex, and on and on. It wont live forever.

Beatles sales are at 1 billion.
Oasis sales are at 70 million.
How many more are you expecting to be sold Ayres Rock

Surely the probability that Oasis wont ever "outsell" the Beatles isn't really what's important here.
Music in general, individual songs perhaps and bands most likely are emotive creatures that reach deep inside of each of us (or not) and the feeling that we each get from a melody, rhythm, beat or turn of lyrical phrase cannot, surely be quantified.
The memories, or even more than than that - the transportation to a place or time or even a specific heartbeat that a second or two of a certain song can impart on us is the same as the question of where were you when JFK/Elvis/Princess Di or whomever died.
Songs, music and bands will be here until we all go overboard and capsize, the second worst thing we can do shirley is to ignore everyone else's recommendations (ie top 5) to listen to a potentially good one and the ultimate sin is to criticise anyone else's choices.
Having said that, should anyone put Kylie up and in particular "I should Be So Lucky" I'll hunt them down and punish them with a wedgie or seven. That fecking tune seemed to wake me up more often than not at a certain time (turn of the 90's I'm guessing) and cost me about 3 bedside clock/radios!
It's music FFs, enjoy it all.

Typically hypocritical. And anyway, for the third time, I wasn't taking a 'pot shot' at your personal choice, I was just saying I felt it was a bit daft putting down as one of your top five all time favourite bands, one that has only ever released two albums.
Incidently, Howd, it would be difficult to discount the founder of The Velvet Underground, with probably 20 solo albums to his name who has influenced, by their own admission, the likes of David Bowie, Iggy Pop and many more......in favour of a band with the 'Manchester sound' who released a couple of very good albums. But it's all about opinions......

Fair enough, but he always plays and records with a band.
I think there was sarcasm in Howdi's post re Lou Reed (though I could be wrong).
Sadly not, JOCI Club, unless he was being sarcastic twice...

Joci...There was a little bit of sarcasm pal but the comment of this pixie bloke making me chuckle although i banned him so can only assume he is in full seethe mode 
'A little bit of sarcasm' is that like being a little bit pregnant?
Gotta love how these "fav ever band" threads ALWAYS turn into a SEETHfest for the Oasis haters.
For me Oasis were always a live act,who,live were as good at the very end as they were at the very begining.
If people hate Oasis then good for them(it's all about opinion) but purrleese spare us all the "they did 2 great albums and the rest were shoite" old pony...as if someone hating the music is really gonna devour the 1st 2 albums in the first place!
For me:
The Jam
The Who
The Beatles

You may have been too young for The Jam Howdi?? but they were an immense outfit.

wtf, it doesn't what your opinion is on this, their songs are classics, and on respected music magazines polls, two of their albums were voted very highly, most of their b-sides are 100 times better than any track released to day so not sure how they blend in to the back ground if anything it shows up how crap music is today

That's what I love about music - no-ones right or wrong as it's all about opinions (loads could slate me about my favourite, the username's a big clue but he's MY favourite & you'll not take that away)
ffs favourite is highlighted for spellchecker!!!!!

You are correct, it is all about opinion/personal taste
My opinion/personal taste is that I don't like musicians who take themselves way too seriously
I suppose there is room for Bob Dylan and the like, but if you're an earnest fkucker trying to get your message across you better make sure you've got a catchy number or else you're going to look like a tw@t

Impossible, but number one is a given and I suppose The Stones should be in there, but I reckon the 5 I have listened the most to are:

Soundgarden
The Levellers
Alice In Chains

At last, sofiakenny has finally joined me in mentioning AC/DC. So that makes two of us so far
I honestly thought they would get quite a few votes I have to say.

I did give them strong consideration, James. But, ultimately they failed to make the cut due to an overall slide in quality of their albums. Its a shame as their first album, "Bring It On" is in my opinion one of the best album ever made. "Liquid Skin" was solid enough and even "In Our Gun" had some merit. But, their recent albums just don't do it for me. 
Still one of the best live bands I've ever seen though.

So difficult to pick just five. Couldn't possibly.

Oasis
The Verve
The Smiths
Bob Marley & The Wailers
The Roots

That's ten without even thinking, and excluding duo's such as Chemical Brothers, Daft Punk etc

Some real diversity amongst many posts and I have to agree with some others in that it's very difficult to nail it down to just FIVE!
FWIW, here goes with my dozen I've listened to for long periods over the decades;
The Stranglers
The Icicle Works
The Divine Comedy
Blondie
Abba
Bee Gees
Depeche Mode
Fleetwood Mac
ELO
Killing Joke

no way can name 5 only but every man-jack idiot one of you has failed to mention System of a Down
...and i hate the facking eagles, man
I think the owner of the cafe in 'A Fistful Of Travellers' Cheques' might give you an argument about The Eagles...D4 
The question is about FAVOURITE bands, this could be swayed by any number of things, for me, the Stone Roses are in there for what they meant to me.
One great album and a bunch of great singles is enough for me. They summed up the zeitgeist.
So:
The Icicle Works
The Wedding Present
Pixies
The Stone Roses
Jay Z - For getting me out of the 20th century.
