I could probably name 15 bands, but certainly not 15 I listen to regularly. I do have a habit of getting right into a band, listening to them all the time, then dropping them again. Of all time, my favourites might be:

The The The Smiths Happy Mondays/Black Grape James Leonard Cohen (doesn't everyone go through that phase?) Velvet Underground/Lou Reed Pogues Bob Dylan Prince Nirvana (only a bit) U2 (only a little bit) REM (for one day) Err That's it!

EDIT:

Ooh, some more I've just thought of: St Etienne Sugarcubes Primal Scream

Absolute classic band - another BT fan here. You'd do well to track down 'Sleepy-eyed', recorded live to tape (largely) in an old church I think. Good to see that fellow NO fans appreciate great groups like Buffalo Tom and Fugazi here on NOOL.

One word to the wise though - it's not very popular here in Aus these days to use the phrase 'Abbo' - that one disappeared around the same time as the words "strewth" "corker" "bonza" and "decent prime minister" here in Aus.

CTB

My favourite Buff Tom tracks - Velvet Roof, Larry, Tangerine

Saw Fugazi in Wolverhampton a good few years ago - very good

Re. BT...played "Tail lights fade" last night.

ahhhh...its all coming back now. what a song.
