Jeff Do's Favorite Bands

Here are my favorite bands of all time:

• The Black Crowes - Definately the band that has influenced me the most. They've drawn so many comparisons to older bands like the Stones, but if you really listen to their music, you can tell their stuff is all their own. Modern, yet with deep roots in classic rock. Plus their live shows are incredible. Through listening to songs they covered, I came to appreciate many more artists I never would have listened to like the Gram Parsons, the Stooges, as well as more popular bands like the Dead, Allman Brothers, and Bob Marley.
• Alice in Chains - These guys rocked. I first saw them open for Van Halen (with Hagar). They absolutely blew me away. Their music has this beautiful mix of beautiful, unique melodies and harmonies with a raw, heavy, destructive power. Layne Staley's voice is like no other, and noone captures the essence the needle and the damage done better than him. Sad, depressing, yet absolutely and beautifully honest.
• Stone Temple Pilots - These guys are much like the Crowes and AIC and have a beautiful range of music. Every album is so unique. Sometimes it is hard to believe the same band wrote all their songs. Their live shows are incredible as well and Scott Weiland is one of the craziest frontman ever, on the same level as Jagger, Morrison, and Plant.
