1 Iron Maiden
2 AC/DC
3 Judas Priest
4 Metallica
5 Sabbath
I seen Maiden with Ratt & Accept back in 1986, outside concert, excellent show, we had a keg in my buddies van. Piece of Mind, great album!
No particular order, keep in mind that I'm 23 and never been real fond of Guns N Roses, Metalica and Zeplin but if they have something really good that you know of, then give me a link. Any band, as long as it's good I'll check it out.
The Beatles - No brainer honestly, started as the best party band then morphed into a highly creative and lyrical band capable of an incredible range of different types of rock songs. One of the most creative bands of all-time. Albums like Rubber Soul, White Album and Revolver are an alternative fan's dream.
The Pixies - Only recently delved into their discography but they have to be one of the more creative bands ever, they partially influenced every alternative band that came after them with their use of distortion and unconventional song structure.
The Doors - What can you say about the Doors? If Jim Morrison had been born in ancient times he would have been a famous poet or philosopher. I don't say that lightly, this guy was a poet in every sense of the word.
The Rolling Stones - Sympathy for the Devil, Family, they made plenty of classics. Not as many as the Beatles but a great band none the less.
Nirvana - You could say they tried to copy the Pixies at times but in the end that doesn't matter. Because Nirvana was a great, great band regardless of their influences. Everyone gets influenced in music, no one makes music they don't like. Kurt Cobain was one of the last great song writers in the rock genre.
Honorable mention: Red Hot Chili Peppers, Incubus
Like I said, I hope people post some links, I never pass on an opportunity to discover more good music. I'm mainly a hip-hop fan but I've been listening to many different genres of music since I was a kid.
Fuck... they're so mediocre and lame...Eagles bug.
I like Joe Walsh. Bout it.
U2 is the most overrated band of all time.
I'm sure this discussion has been had umpteen times here, but sort of fishing for opinions here... I think there's a blatantly obvious four that have to belong in any and every list... Those being in no particular order :
The Beatles
The Rolling Stones
Led Zeppelin
The Who
I seem to have a tough time coming up with a fifth... Who am I missing? Or do you really want to make a case that one of these four don't belong?
