you fail. good day sir!
everyone's favorites oscillate dramatically between a fairly large stable of groups, rocking out to some one day, others the next. the exercise is to think about it and choose three -even if it is only for today- that are top of the pops for you.
edit that shit so i can hug you with a clear conscience
polycounters have good taste in music!

Hadn't heard of two of your top three, Mop - definitely going to check them out.
At the moment:
Killswitch Engage
Throwdown
Unearth
Van Halen
Floyd
...shit, and the Beatles too... so I made it 4, sue me :P
My most consistently favorite musical fix through the years, bugs the piss out of me that I've never seen them live. Aside from them my tastes tend to wander all over the place.
65 Days of Static
Sigur Ros
Clutch
NIN
BOWIE
The Arcade Fire
TV On The Radio
Wilco
honorable mention goes to Silversun Pickups and Son Volt.
I had to! I couldn't pick just 3.
Awesome lists guys. Alice in Chains was a close 4th for me, I've listened to them for awhile now but after seeing them live a few months ago, I'm listening to them more and more.
Dethklok
The Birthday Massacre
My fourth would probably be Joanna Newsom - I've been quite smitten with her lately.
rilo kiley
allman brothers band
Andreas Vollenweider
BT
Type O Negative
Rush
Annihilator
Devildriver
My least favorite of all time continues to be a boy band called Nickleback.
Mars Volta
Daft Punk
Lupe Fiasco
Failure*
Portishead
* - I'm also taking into account all of the subsequent bands since breaking up: A Perfect Circle, Autolux, Lusk, On, Year of the Rabbit to name a few.
Foo Fighters
The Offspring
And Gorillaz as a really close 4th.
I'll have to check out all the bands that have been posted too!
Bad Religion
Karate
all made of kick ass and win!
Wire
Moss Icon
The Velvet Underground

The Book of Right On is such an awesome song. Joanna Newsom is pretty spiffy. Like most people, my top three are always changing, but if I were to pick right now they would probably be:
1. Tom Waits
2. My Morning Jacket (can't stop listening to Wordless Chorus)
3. Radiohead
Other favorites include The Flaming Lips, The White Stripes, Tool, RATM, Primus, any of Les Claypool's million or so side projects, Butthole Surfers, etc.
[edit] Joanna Newsom has some great live videos on youtube that actually have a decent recording quality. Here are a couple I had in my favorites: The Book of Right On, Sawdust and Diamonds. She is such an amazing musician, I never thought I would be so into harp music.
At the moment my favorites are:
Rush
Annihilator
Devildriver
