I've been really in Justice this past year too. (Not the hardcore one)
The French electronic duo??? I went through a couple months where I listened to it a lot. I actually had a session yesterday.
As for my fav bands. I could never really list a top 5... that'd be a bit ridiculous for me due to the way I listen to music. I listen to music based on the action I'm doing... certain bands, despite if I actually like them or not, I will listen to based on if they assist in a specific action. Some bands put me to sleep, while others motivate me into working, others keep me from having road rage, etc etc.
For instance - NIN puts me to sleep
Prodigy and Justice put me to work
Leonard Cohen and Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds help me drive
The Faint and other Indie bands I like to dance to when I'm drunk

my last.fm account relatively reflects this. It records everything that I play at my house, which is being played usually 24/7. But it only gets what's playing at my house...
If I had to list who I couldn't live with out. Like if I had to remove all my music from my server and keep only 5 bands.
hrmmm
Peter Gabriel - love em!... err or Leonard Cohen. I like them both for the same reason. I don't know why, I just find their voices sexy.
Nine Inch Nails - there is just way to much music in here, I'd get tons of songs out of the deal, and it's my prime sleep motivator
Skinny Puppy - has a fond place in my heart. Ever since I figured out that they put me to sleep when high on drugs like acid or coke, I never stopped listening to them. I don't do drugs anymore, but they are still awesome!
RJD2 - really good hip-hop/electronic sound. It is useful for a lot of stuff.
The Offspring - yep, I said the Offspring. They're probably the one band I've listened to the most in my life (excluding stuff that my parents listened to when I was very little). I remember when their first album came out, and I remember when their most recent album came out. I own every single one. I don't know why... they are just versatile to my uses of music. Great for driving, sleeping, working, everything.
