    It's specifically bands, and not artists? Just checking.

      The word "artists" is in the thread title.

            Here's a knock-out of essential records, it that helps.

              The Fall
              Kraftwerk
              The Monkees*


              *there are three or four bands vying for spot 3, but I'll peg it to The Monkees for the sake of this survey.

                  They have that one song that was on that one commercial, I think.

                    Hard to pick just three, but for today, I'd say:

                    Fugazi
                    Joy Division
                    Wolf Alice

                                        This is a difficult one. My top 2, The Beatles and XTC, never change, but I guess the third one depends on whatever mood I'm in that week. This week I'm going for Stephen Sondheim.
