• About 25 or so bands (give or take) in a tie for 2nd.
• At least 100 bands (literally) for 3rd, 4th & 5th.
• About 25 or so bands (give or take) in a tie for 2nd.
Since the 1st time that I saw them in concert (back in '80) right up to this day, the top spot has always firmly belonged to Rush
Back in High School ('78-'82), I would have said that my other two top bands were Kansas & Styx.
Sooo many other good bands from back in the day, plus a few honestly good ones that have come along since, that I'd be hard pressed to make out a list & feel 'secure' in it - other than Rush, of course! - from one day to the next.
