Well, my favorites change fairly regularily, but for a while these 3 have been on top:

Led Zeppelin
Junior Byles
Sweatshop Union

Why? They've all got catchy songs that I can really get into, aside from that, nothing else holds them in their top three place

You lucky ####### at least live within 1,000 miles of a Mars Volta concert. If I had cancer and make a wish was to grant me anything, I would see them live.

Current top 3:

Godspeed you Black Emperor!- Because it's instrumental madness

Tool- Because they are amazing

Blind Guardian- Because they rock so fucking hard

It changes constantly, I don't have a favorite band, just current favorites.

Mars Volta is the most incredible band ever in the history of music. They are unfucking real live. best drummer in the world of rock.

Radiohead is amazing. 6 albums and 6 completely different sounds, directions and progressions.

Controller Controller is out of Toronto and have a very unique sound. Two lead guitars instead of a lead and rythym with unique vocals and an incredible bass player.

Children of Bodom-they play good music. period.

Atmosphere-there old stuff is a little better, but still sicker than any other hiphoppers that have made it to the level they are at

Old Man's Child or Decapitated-I dunno ive just been listening to both alot lately.

Um
Peter Tosh (sick shit he's a legend, jah rastafari)
Pink Floyd (David Gilmore is the most underrated guitarist of all time)
RJD2 (Best in the game at what he does)

Pearl Jam just missed the list because of their mediochre new album, come on eddy, SING, scream for points of emphasis, not the whole song.

there are many others that are tops too like Geto boys, Shurik'n, Jedi Mind Tricks, Deltron, Teddybears STHLM, The Faint, Mars Volta, Bob Marley, CCR, Led Zep, Nirvana, AC/DC, the list goes on...

What do you mean 'underrated'?
He's fucking huge!
That's the stupidest statement I've heard in a while.

My top 3,
Outkast. Their older stuff I just can't get enough of.
David Bowie. Originality like you never heard.
Pink Floyd. A different album for every type of mood you could be in.

Honorable mention to George Harrison's solo stuff.
The guy is seriously talented.

1. The Beatles- they are unbelievable songwriters and musicians, changed music and society forever.

2. Led Zeppelin- all incredibly good at their instruments and good songwriters, could rock like no others.

3. Bob Dylan- very influential, songs are musically simple but have unreal lyrics, voice of a generation
