All opinion.

1. Pink Floyd

A revolutionary artist with a revolutionary album, Dark Side Of The Moon, that changed the way I think about a lot. Spreading such messages such as materialism can lead normal people to insanity, and you are judged by the impact you leave. A concept album that's left an impact, and The Wall is great too.


2. Led Zeppelin

Stairway To Heaven: 8 minutes, never a single, always a hit. That song, Led Zeppelin IV, and the Houses of the Holy contain some of the greatest songs ever produced. Led Zeppelin incorporated mysticism and Tolkien into their songs: also leading a wide variety of rock blues and celtic.

3. The Who

Revolutionized the rock opera with Tommy, followed by Quadrophenia. Although not liked by some for it's negativity, Tommy was a new experiment in music. Their time in British Invasion, with songs like Won't Get Fooled Again and Baba O'Reliy were great (not that I was there).

4. AC/DC

Some of the first true hard rock, Back in Black and Highway To Hell are some of the most influential songs ever. From Wikipedia, influencing bands like Guns 'N' Roses, Van Halen, and Journey.

5. Aerosmith

Although the return of Aerosmith was largely popularized by DMX, their songs, vocals, and sounds are unmistakable - Even in songs without a Steven Tyler scream. The albums come one after another for Aerosmith, and that's a good thing.

6. Jimi Hendrix
7. Black Sabbath
8. The Rolling Stones
9. Dire Straits
10. Guns 'N' Roses
11. The Doors
12. Van Halen
13. Deep Purple
14. Eric Clapton
15. Pearl Jam
16. Metalica
17. Bruce Springsteen
18. Boston
19. Foreigner
20. Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers
21. Rush
22. U2
23. The Allman Brothers
24. Eagles
25. The Yardbirds
26. Counting Crows
27. Lynyrd Skynyrd
28. Yes
29. The Clash
30. Bad Company
31. Blue Oyster Cult
32. The Kinks
33. ZZ Top
34. Frank Zappa
35. Dave Matthews & The E Street Band
36. Def Leopard
37. Genesis
38. Jethro Tull
39. The Police

Nice list. Dunno about the order I'd put them in, but probably most of the bands I'd put in such a list are there.

At least Zappa and the Clash are there. Not my kind of music though I'm afraid

Good list, although I would put Rolling Stones above Aerosmith, and lower Guns 'n Roses and Van Halen.

Edit: and raise Rush.

Nice.

My favourite rock albums are:

1)Electric Ladyland (Jimi Hendrix, 1968)
2)Dark Side of the Moon (Pink Floyd 1973)
3)Abbey Road (The Beatles, 1969)
4)Abraxas (Santana, 1970)
5)Wish you were here (Pink Floyd, 1975)

And FD2, your going to be jealous of me when I tell you I saw Roger Waters performing Dark Side of the Moon live at Hyde park last Saturday :P Was the greatest gig ever.

20 of those bands suck, 10 are really good and 10 aren't that good to me.

Then again, my music is a tad more alternative than this.

The 'Pistols, the Ramones, the Dead Kennedys, the Buzzcocks, the Specials, the Beat, Sublime, Iron Maiden, Judas Preist ... hell, even Blink 182 should make it onto that list.

Calm down people. He said that these were his personal favorites, not the universal authority.

Edit: What the hell?? Where is Journey!?

They've had a huge impact on modern culture. Like it or not; they're influential.

Lots of bands vary their sound musically.

Greatest bands

not most influenetial bands

the suagrhill gang made a huge imapct on modern culture with rapeprs delight, and they werent even a real group.

if they get listed on 40 greatest hip hop artists ill, well, you know, just be dissapointed.

posted 07-10-06 02:15 PM EDT (US)     24 / 56  
How else do you define "Greatest" without incorperating the influence of the band?
