Probably in no particular order:

1. B'z
2. Eric Clapton
3. MJ

Between MJ and Prince I choose James Brown. Without James Brown what is dubbed "black music" would not have been what it is today. I must admit though between MJ and Prince the choice is difficult. MJ has "Off The Wall" and "Thriller" but Prince can out solo many Metal guitarists to this day yet still bring Funk and Soul like it is 1970.

I'm probably younger than you (I'm from 90s BTW) and MJ may have had a greater generation effect on me. Though James Brown is absolutely a top call.

On a side note, there are many that can actually make my (comtemporary) list, depending on my mood: Queen, Led Zep, James Taylor Quartet, Bill Evans Trio, Van Halen, Cold Play, Eagles, Chage&Aska ...

1. The Rolling Stones
2. Dire Straits
3. Neil Young

That could change tomorrow. I actually "stopped" listening to Led Zep since I upgraded my headphone stack (I don't think the recording quality is all that great).

Special mention to: Led Zep, MJ, the Who, Queen, Deep Purple, Jimi Hendrix, Paul Simon, Fleetwood Mac, the Brian Jonestown Massacre, Thomas Newman, Keith Jarrett and few other (mostly rock and derivatives).

1: Necro Facility
2: Infected Mushroom
3: Dragonforce (yes, really)

NF is the only artist I've heard who manages to make a different song every time, and still manages to be consistently incredible.

I've been listening to IM for years and there are songs that can still bring me to tears. Not quite as consistent as NF though.

Dragonforce is a shameless guilty pleasure. I enjoy their formula.

Think of the genie in the lamp and you get to have three wishes. Like wishing for Kyuss or the Jimi Hendrix Experience in your living room in their original line up. Too bad Robin Williams will not be there to crack jokes with you.

I've got Led Zep recordings that are 192K/24bits vinyl rips, which sound thin and squeaky in the highs (relatively) and I rarely listen to those but the same recordings from HD tracks that have been remastered recently (despite being 96K/24bits) sound much better (not the best but much better than my other vinyl rips I found). YMMV. :)

I have to change the first one to Frank Zappa. Rx Bandits was just a band I grew up listening to.
Hot Rats, Apostrophe, are too legendary.

1. Frank Zappa
2. Beethoven
3. Miles Davis Sextet

Karma points for you good sire!
