[Patrick del Poker Grande]

Some letters are tough to decide. S, for instance is a mile long on my iPod. For letters where I have more than one, if you must have one, take the first one I listed, but the rest deserve mention at least (not necessarily in the order listed). Here's my first cut:

A - Aerosmith / A Perfect Circle / AC/DC / Audioslave / Arcade Fire
B - Blur / Beck
C - Coheed & Cambria
D - Death Cab For Cutie / The Decemberists
E - Eminem (by default)
F - Foo Fighters / John Fogerty
G - Guns N Roses / Gorillaz
H - Jimi Hendrix
I - Interpol
J - Jay-Z (by default)
K - Korn
L - Led Zeppelin
M - The Mars Volta / Modest Mouse
N - Nirvana / Nine Inch Nails
O - The Offspring
P - Pearl Jam
Q - Queens of the Stone Age
R - Radiohead / RATM / RHCP
S - Smashing Pumpkins / Sonic Youth / Spoon / The Shins / STP / Bob Seger
T - Tool
U - U2
V - The Von Bondies
W - Wolfmother / Weezer / The White Stripes
X - X-Ecutioners (by default - who else?)
Y - Thom Yorke / Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Z - Zwan


Billy Corgan and Thom Yorke made my list twice, and deservedly so.
