BEST BAND

Hey that's quite a category you got there: No best country, cover, original, punk, funk, jazz, polka, or disco -- it just says "Best Band." And if "best" means "most popular" (and it very often does, despite what you masses-hating sourpusses think), then F5 deserves the title, given all the packed bars, overflowing festivals, and jam-packed street fairs at which they perform. Together now for several years with only a few personnel changes, the band plays Top 40, popular rock music, what the people want to hear -- and that makes it the best.
