Oh, yes, I am obligated to mention that there were thirty thousand write-in votes for Tom Waits.

But it is also fair to mention that they were all covered in tiny paw prints.

You're right, K.
It is tough just to pick eight from that list. My eight changes due to mood.

Put me down for a second vote on the 32 in 32!

However...

Getting the list down to 16 took about 2 minutes for me.

Down to 12 took about 15 minutes.

Down to 8 over night, and I'm still waffling.

Time to commit. In Alphabetical order:

David Bowie
Fleetwood Mac
Genesis
Leonard Cohen
Queen
Rush
Styx
The Rolling Stones

Rather than "favorites", I'm going to approach this another way...

The Influentials
The Beatles
The Rolling Stones
Elvis Presley
Leonard Cohen
Bob Dylan
Neil Young
Creedence Clearwater Revival
The Doors

The Innovators
The Who
David Bowie
Queen
Styx
Rush
Pink Floyd
Genesis
Fleetwood Mac

The Rockers
AC/DC
Led Zeppelin
Aerosmith
Black Sabbath
KISS
Alice Cooper
Heart
Van Halen

The Inheritors
Depeche Mode
The Police
U2
Foreigner
Nirvana
Bon Jovi
ZZ Top
Metallica

...when broken up that way, it's the Innovator list that most interests me (particularly if the focus on The Who revolves around Tommy and Quadrophenia), so for the purposes of this poll consider those my eight "favorites". My actual preferred list would be too incoherent a line-up to be heard back-to-back, IMO.
