Top 5 bands

[V100]

Probably been done before but... what are people's top 5 bands. No slating other people's choices even if it is st, the point of this thread is mainly for me to take some suggestions on what to listen to and then learn on the guitar (yes I am sad and seriously obsessed), so come on, let's get some good guitar music in here.

For me:

1. Oasis
2. The Jam
3. The Who
4. Weller (counts as a band!)
5. Ocean Colour Scene

And, although this is just a guess, a Kangol fishing hat?

All good choices, Oasis stuff is generally pretty simple to play on the guitar, Weller and OCS a bit less easy.

Metal fan by any chance? I like a few Metallica songs but Hetfield's voice doesn't do much for me. Motorhead are a good enough band. And I like Crazy Train by Ozzy, very fun to play with lots of distortion and mental tapping/palm muting!
