[Ern Dog]

Today it has definitely been Santana. Their old stuff is the best especially "Welcome". If you haven't heard it, it is worth a listen.

 

[fluffdrk]

Forgot to add

Roy Harper's Folkjokeopus - Average acoustic guitar on the worst recordings ever but you still have to sit and listen because of the message. Incidently, the subject of the song on Led Zep III "Hats off to Roy (Harper)"

Don't forget that he also sang Pink Floyd's "Have A Cigar."

Genesis
tie between Rush (2112 through Signals) and Porcupine Tree (last 4 CDs)

Marillion is growing on me fast (both Fish and H eras), but I'm not familiar with enough of their work to list them as top 5 favorite... yet.
