Gee, I posted in a Top Ten Favorite Games thread just a little while ago. My list will disregard individual songs and take bands as a whole.
Honorable mentions go to the Deftones, Kyary Pamyu Pamyu, Brand New, Dir En Grey, Corrosion Of Conformity, and A Day To Remember.

Glad you liked Yes. Unfortunately, Jon Anderson (guy singing in that video) isn't with the band anymore. Their latest album isn't bad, but without him it's just not as good as it could be. Luckily, you've got plenty of older albums to go through.lacktheknack said:I don't think it's possible to dislike that song.
I wouldn't call it a favorite, because my tastes are pretty WTFy (check my first post), but it's good.
Now, that "Yes" song, THAT was spectacular. You may have hooked me.
A lot of people say Close to the Edge was their magnum opus, but I disagree. It's an amazing song, but I think Gates of Delirium was better.
...and Close to the Edge
Not in the mood for a 20 minute song? Haha--can't blame you. Although, Gates of Delirium is broken down into parts Sound Chaser, Soon & To Be Over. I think the latter two are the best, personally. I could sing along to Your Move until I die. And this is definitely the best version.
I've always enjoyed High, and I don't even partake.

Based on your enjoyment of ambient/electronic, you may like Robert Fripp of King Crimson.
First one starts out relatively bizarre, but it picks up into a very mellow, very melodic and long-ass tune.
And, I forgot to include this guy in my original list, but he'd probably be somewhere in the top 10. Also forgot Dire Straits, but oh well.
I remember listening to this song for the first time. As soon as the piano kicked in, I loudly exclaimed "Holy shit!" I was listening to it with headphones, and I'm not ashamed to admit I cried a little bit. A little bit. Could've been because I just watched Departures, though. Beautiful movie.
Another beautiful and hugely depressing song.

In order from most amazing to least, with my favorite song by each band in the spoiler.
OK, well, I can't rank the rest of these to save my life. Those up there are the Top Two, these are just "the other eight."
Honorable mentions: Man on Earth [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65TEz6a88HQ], Versus the Ocean [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XbKvoEYSDKw], Reel Big Fish [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQprJlgiwrY], Streetlight Manifesto [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZjSbi6qQps] and Muse [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1_Ri9dms8o] (not the new album... oh God [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EF_xdvn52As]).
Though really, any of their songs is a good example of their talent.
This track is closer to how they usually sound, but my real favorite is "Cotton Heads [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FIMUqFYv3U0]."

Did you see them at Soundwave this year by any chance? And yes, I caught them at the Sydney Soundwave show. Probably one of the best bands I have ever seen live.CarolusRex said:
