Only 6 bands for me. There's a reasonable gap between these bands and other bands. What separates these and other bands (police, talkinh heads, steely dan, queen, doors etc) and that I have own most of the above bands' studio albums and like the majority of their material. With the exception of post 1981 AC/DC crud.

2 - Red Hot Chili Peppers
3 - The Offspring
-------------------------
4 - The Living End
5 - 3 Doors Down
6 - Metallica

7 - Powderfinger
8 - Grinspoon

I rarely listen to any outside of the top 3, but do listen to 4-6 more than once a month. After that there's very little. I used to listen to a lot more bands before I discovered Incubus. But once you get hooked on Incubus, everything else seems crap.
