Favorite all-time band or singer?

[michael clubb]

I just spent the last half-hour or so watching old beachboy videos and getting all melancholy for the old days when I left home at 16 and went straight to california to be a surfer. I think they are the best all time band ever! So, who is your favorite?

Butbutbut...didn't you say recently that the Beatles were...o, nevermind...

I could listen to Jimmy Buffett all day any day. I know a lot of his image is just that image but he still can make me think I am in the topics, hanging out on the beach and with interesting people in the bars. I am just an old Parrothead.
Favorite ballad, He Went to Paris, by Jimmy

How did I miss this?

I can't narrow it down. It would look similar to Snagg's list. We could debate the Syd Barrett era ONLY opinion, though.

Bob, my red-headed Irish DIL is a huge Flogging Molly fan.
DD, I'm a fan of Asleep at the Wheel, also.
D's girl, I won two tickets to an O.A.R./Citizen Cope concert. Gave them to my son and his girlfriend. She knew the groups and I didn't.

Nice list Snagg.
