The 10 greatest rock bands

To combat 'The 10 greatest Rappers' thread.

1. King Crimson
2. Pink Floyd
3. Wire
4. Van der Graaf Generator
5. Jethro Tull
6. Iron Maiden
7. Calexico
8. Bad Religion
9. Joy Division
10. Ten Years After

1. Led Zeppelin
2. The Who
3. The Beatles
4. The Rolling Stones
5. Cream
6. Pink Floyd
7. Queen
8. Thin Lizzy
9. Free
10. Def Leppard

If we should list the bands we LIKE the most, it's gonna be one list.
And if these are the bands that had the most influence, it's totally different.
In this case, I agree with King Crimson, but Iron Maiden is not even close.

Seriously this constant pissing contest (my genre is better than yours) is idiotic. There's no reason to 'battle', and that just sets up a negative vibe on what is all just music and should be taken and enjoyed as a whole.

11. Blue Oyster Cult

I should have added them somewhere.

I wouldn't've thought you'd like the Kinks. Weren't they the most poppy of the British Invasion?

Many of the Kinks songs were banned in England. They were Mods like the Who.

This was pretty heavy for the time


the kinks- you really got me

As was this

the kinks all day and all of the night

Another of their real good early ones

The Kinks - Tired of Waiting

And this song is so beautiful

The Kinks - Waterloo Sunset

And to all the rest of you out there in the Matrix. My favorite Kinks song as its so true.

Shangri-La - The Kinks

And the greatest Christmas song ever

The Kinks Father Christmas

And oh so much more.

greatest american rock band!

someone add Styx to their list....

I think they are one of the most overlooked bands ever.

Styx - Blue Collar Man (Live

STYX SNOWBLIND
Have you seen their new DVD?

I agree that their my Favorite American Rock band. Only Aerosmith comes close.

Aerosmith-Janie's Got a Gun

the doors though...probably rank higher than styx does for me as far as great american rock bands go.

all the way from canada..................RUSH!!!!!!!! can't forget about them eh

all the way from canada..................RUSH!!!!!!!! can't forget about them eh

I dont think you were addressing me

Rush - Tom Sawyer: (Live Exit Stage Left Version)

My favorite canadian band is a bit older however.

Saw these guys 2 years ago, My have they aged

The Guess Who - Share The Land

Here they are these days. Still rockin

THE GUESS WHO NO SUGAR TONIGHT/NEW MOTHER NATURE

Cant do the Guess Who without this one

THE GUESS WHO - AMERICAN WOMAN LIVE 1970

I would imagine Canada not only best but first rock group.

Oh and some of the Best parts of the show were the Guess Who doing BTOs big hits since Randy Bachman had rejoined them and they had the original members. Sounds even better than the BTO versions

The Guess Who - Takin' Care Of Business

Extra bonus

We all know this song by the Who but do you know it by the Guess who?

The Guess Who - Shaking All Over

nah i just felt like adding them, haha

I don't have a list but may I suggest Ash, the ones who played my favorite rock song? [Clones, of course ...]

In no order

The Doors
Led Zeppelin
Black Sabbath
Metallica
AC/DC
Rolling Stones
Oasis (YES!)
Lynyrd Skynyrd
Iggy Pop and the Stooges
Jimi Hendrix Experience


Those are the rock bands I listen to the most anyway.
