Not sure I'd vote differently today (voted Van Halen back then), but Living Colour should have gotten some run IMO.

As for right now, the Band Perry is getting some of my ear time. And Grace Potter and the Nocturnals continue to do good stuff, though I probably like Potter best when she's gigging with other bands. Listen to her version of Cortez the Killer with Joe Satriani, and if you don't get goosebumps you must be a corpse.

Van Halen won this poll with >20% of the vote. While Van Halen (Roth era, f- that Van Hagar shit), is not in my personal top 3, listening to Van Halen I and 1984 this week I'm reminded that Runnin' With the Devil and Hot for Teacher are two of the greatest radio-ready rock singles ever. Ever. All the hallmarks of what Van Halen did awesome: simple four measure guitar solos, the scat-jazz guitar fills over spoken word bridges, Roth's vocal shenanigans. These are still great songs that hold up 35-40 years later. In fact, I might appreciate these two songs more now than I ever have.

The synths in Jump and Panama? Not so much ...
