This is tough. The list is:
Built to Spill
Hum
Minus the Bear
Cursive
The Appleseed Cast
BTS was #1 for years but I think it's been edged out recently by TAC. If we went by most important band, Hum is #1 because they were my gateway band to everything I now listen to.
The problem is like Big Bayou said: it's hard to rank music. These are the 5 names I've been spouting as my Top 5 for a half a decade, but I'm completely ignoring stuff I've fallen in love with recently (like God Is An Astronaut, to mention just one).

i used to listen to the brilliant green, but i dont recognize any of the rest
eh, i've never been that impressed with them either.
I wish more ska bands came to Florida. Only Streetlight, LTJ, and RBF frequent here. You are lucky to live relatively close to Mustard Plug, Big D, and the Planet Smashers (plus get all of the bands from down here to go up there too).
And yes, ska based friendships are great.
What... the... fuck...
1. Beatles
2. Disturbed
3. Metallica
4. Nirvana/Green Day (really not sure here)
5. The Charlie Daniels Band (yeehaw im a country guy... sorta)
1. Pink Floyd
2-5 change a lot, but right now probably Nirvana, A Day To Remember (not really their new stuff, i liked them much more when no one else listened to them), Megadeth, Lamb Of God. I listen to all sorts of music though, really depends what i want to listen to.

Hyra, I live in western canada. Big D and SLM are from boston and pensylvania respectively. I really don't live near anyone, most bands drop out for warped up here (which appears won't even happen). Most bands don't bother to come up here, the last good one was Dragonforce like 3 months ago.
Arctic blast, big d came to Edmonton when I was living there and it was at a small venue. They went into the basement where the drinking was happening, since it was an all ages but the bar was underground there. I made a right ass of myself telling them that the beatles was a shitty inspiration and that nobody remembers nada surf.
I've also met reel big fish's aaron barrett once and was on stage with Zebrahead about 7 years ago. Ahhhhhh I've met alot of bands, like the matches when they were noobies.
