Nice choice, "Piece Of Pie" is one of my favourite songs ever
Core is a stone cold classic
Favorite album for me is either Tiny Music or Shangri-La Di Da. Also, there are a LOT of similarities between Weiland and Brian (and not strictly musical)...

Heard "Black Water" today on the radio, Eric, and thought to add them to my list of favorites here. From my neck o' the woods, and I like them best with Tom Johnston and without Michael McDonald!
Same here! There are some songs from the beginning of the Michael McDonald era that I like, but once he was fully established, his sound totally took over and the band was totally different...not totally bad, but very very different.
Lots trash Michael McDonald but Tom's sole song on Taking It To The Streets is the weakest track on the record and by Minute By Minute, several of Pat's were fairly crap. By the second half of the 70's the original band template had run out of steam.

You like ELO twice as much as the other bands, eh Rob? I really like them two!
2000 CD's and albums........................damn.
My bad about ELO can i kindly cop out and say ELO and ELP ? and next to the 2000 odd CD's there is the BB's and related collection which runs into bloody hundreds , and im yet to transfer a whole load of old 'Live' tapes ( tapes , remember them ? ) onto hard drive/cd , but there really isn't enough time in life

The Beach Boys are the only band I like.
Unless Big Band counts.
Does Glen Miller count?
Or does it have to be post 1956, AKA "Of All Time"

Beach Boys, John Denver, the Misfits, T. Rex, Sunset Rubdown, Modest Mouse
I used to be really into the Beatles when I first got into music and I really overplayed them and now I can't really listen to them too often anymore.
this is a Sunset Rubdown music video:

VERY difficult question, but leaving aside classical music I'll say the Duke Ellington Orchestra (wonderfully inventive instrumental harmonies and fantastic sounds...not unlike Pet Sounds-era backing tracks). My dad used to listen to a lot of big band stuff, and that's how I first got into it. "Mood Indigo" instrumental version is a great example of their earlier work:

Not a band, but my favourite musician after The Beach Boys is Ronnie James Dio.
His music covered a much larger diversity than many people are aware of, he started off as a Doo-Wop singer in the late 50's with songs such as MISTER MISERY (
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vqJ81gMWg0&feature=related
) and AN ANGEL IS MISSING (
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmbuHKuyDRc&feature=related
)
After being in a few bands he started Rainbow with Ritchie Blackmore in the mid 70's, where they took the early Metal sound (basically heavy blues) and added more exotic inspirations darker lyrical inspirations and orchestral elements, most noticeable in songs like STARGAZER (
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6W7jMURpGU
)
He later joined Black Sabbath after the departure of Ozzy Osbourne where he was responsible for their Heaven and Hell album (this is the title song:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=riwxbh_n_WM
)
After he left Black Sabbath he created his own solo band Dio, where despite being a predominately metal band (with hits like Holy Diver, which nearly everyone knows, whether they know it or not, so I wont bother linking), his other influences occasionally came through with tracks like THIS IS YOUR LIFE (
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ku--QYJQsPo
)
He remained in Dio until his passing in 2010 (with a break in 1991 to rejoin Black Sabbath, and then in the mid 00's to join Heaven and Hell, which was Black Sabbath without having to pay Ozzy royalties)
His diversity is something that I love about his music, not just the range of styles, but the fact he could pull them all off fantastically, I hope that linking some of his music here encourages some people here to listen and maybe discover something they like
i agree 100%
one of the best singers of all time
saw him when he toured with H&H and his voiced still amazed me

Quite honestly, The Buddy Rich Big Band. Never saw anything like it before. Pat Metheny's right up there with him.

Well The BBs are #1 by a landslide, but at distant second for me is The Band
I like that they're extremely unique. They're not really "Southern Rock", Country, or strait ahead Rock N Roll. IMO they were like Rock, Country, R&B, Bluegrass, etc rolled all into one. They had a sound totally unto themselves. Plus they were killer musicians and the Helm, Danko, Manuel blend was gorgeous.
I became a fan of The Band by (stupidly) watching The Kids Are Alright. At the risk of offending people, I must say I hate the Who (their "music" is unpleasant noise to my ears, I don't like their attitudes, and the fact that smashing guitars is as important to their popularity as their sound represents everything I hate about what "music" has become). Anyway, I watched this show ridiculously enough just to see if Keith Moon mentioned his Beach Boy obsession (I think he did). When it finally ended I was so traumatized, disgusted, & incensed that when the next show came on (The Last Waltz aka the anti Who & The Kids Are Alright) I was instantly hooked because they were like saviors from the hell my eyes and ears had been through, lol. Plus they got major points when I spotted Loretta's daddy on the drums (Levon Helm)
Best example of their music, imo, is It Makes No Difference (at least that's my favorite). Other favorites are I Shall Be Released, Stage Fright, Up On Cripple Creek, & Evangeline.
My 3rd and 4th favorite bands are CCR & The Eagles.
But my all time favorite, be all end all singers/musicians (in no order) are: The Beach Boys, Elvis, Hank Sr, George Jones, Faron Young, Patsy Cline, & Loretta Lynn
Runners up: Marty Robbins, Buck & His Buckaroos, Merle Haggard, Sam Cooke, Connie Francis, The Drifters, The Platters, The Shirelles, Alan Jackson, & The Dixie Chicks

This is fabulous. I have seen The Kids Are Alright about a thousand times, but now I feel the need to go watch it again! Bad attitudes, unpleasant noise, smashed guitars, traumatizing, disgusting, incensing, that is The Who alright, the greatest rock and roll band of all time (I wouldn't define The Beach Boys as rock and roll full stop). You just defined them perfectly, and also why they aren't The Eagles, thank God.
