The Best Rock Bands of All Time

When it comes to rock and roll, my daddy raised me right "respect your elders" I love classic rock. When every band had their own sound and they didn't sound like the same song you heard on the radio before that was by another band.

Sooo....I'm going to do some original bands through the decades. I know I'm going to leave a lot out so you guys better add! :p

1960s-1970's (in no particular order)

The Doors (Jim is my idol he's a poet turned rockstar like I want to be)

Led Zeppelin (one of my earliest memories of rock bands)

Pink Floyd (dad used to say if you don't eat your meat you can't have any pudding! Seriously I've listened to pretty much every Floyd album and have liked every single song they ever wrote)

The Beetles (I liked their later stuff better than the early, love the yellow submarine movie)

Lynard Skynard (good ol southern rock)

Ozzy (Black Sabbath and Solo)

Alice Cooper (actually seen him in concert few years ago)

The Eagles (just good music)

Fleetwood Mac (male and female vocals differing on songs.. nice)

Jethro Tull (just like em)

1980's

More Ozzy!

AC/DC (which actually started late 70's)

Guns and freakin ROSES! (think the way I typed the name describes how I feel)

Def Leppard (pretty much like all their songs)

METALLICA (goes without saying

Motely Crue

Damn Yankees

Journey (dont stop believin!)

Foreigner (are they technically 70's or 80s?)

The Scorpions (love em love em!)

1990's Man the 90's I was just a kid growing up yet I grew up hearing all these great bands. The 90's was a good time for music, not to sure about the last 10 years or so...

Ok so 90's

Alice in Chains ( I LOVE THIS BAND rates on the top of my list, I'm listening to the unplugged album right now

Nirvana (Kurt Cobain he was great didn't he join the 27 club? RIP)

Red Hot Chili Peppers (very original sound)

Rage against the machine (rates very high on my top list)

Stabbing Westward (most people have no idea who I'm talking about but they are great)

Sublime (original yet again... singer taken too soon once again)

White Zombie/Rob Zombie (just good ol rock and roll)

Tool (love em they rival for my #1 spot but I don't have a #1)

The 2000's Well there are some original bands out there still but most don't get radio play

Coheed and Cambria (I'm going to see them tomorrow night with Slipknot)

Slipknot (said it above)

Death Cab For Cutie (emo but good)


Alright theres some good rock education. Add discuss debate and have fun!

 

Skynyrd..3EB..RHCP..CCR..

 

You pretty much covered my people for old school rock, but what about Hall and Oates, man?!

 

I agree with the eagles being just good music. I recently went to see them with my father in law and was surprised just how many songs I knew, and I'm only 26.

Ok Guys How about this one man band!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHAT

 

Oh no, how did I forget Jimmy....

 

He goes without say.

 

I LOVE Coheed! I've seen them 4 times..almost everytime they come to ATLMinus the Bear is a great contemporary band as well

Dont forget Boston, Foghat, ELP or RUSH though!

 

OMG yep I left out Boston I love them... and REO speedwagon. I can not wait til tomorrow... Less than 24 hours to wait for my first coheed show! Oh god I'm so excited.

BTW I'm 22.... The Eagles came twice... but they wanted over 100 dollars for the crappy seats.. thats just wrong to me when I saw Robert Plant solo (lead singer for zeppelin) and he did zeppelin songs and tix were 35 bucks! Now I know the eagles aren't better than Plant!

 

Oh hey man... just realized.. you are the owner of stillwater collars huh? Thanks for a great collar I got the 1.5 in with velcro it's a great durable collar. Love it, will order more in the future.

 

pantera and slayer for me!

 

What about the Doors?

 

Angels & Airwaves, Rush, Journey, old school Aerosmith, Ra, The Beetles, Guns n Roses, Red Hot Chili Peppers, the Bouncing Souls, Greenday, Sublime, The Used...too many to name.

 

Here's a few old school to add to the list

Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band
Iron Maiden
Judas Priest
Saxon
Styx
Van Halen (original)
Sammy Hagar (solo)

and one of my all time favorites

Ronnie James Dio.........gotta love some Holy Diver!

 

i know he isnt a rock band but i Really like lil wayne's stuff. =]
&& he did make a rock song. so he's kinda like a rock star aswell. lol

 

The Doors were the first band listed... I said Jim Morrison was my idol.

 

I love him as a rap artist... but this is a rock and roll thread.

 

I've only been to one concert Ga jam 96 I think it was... I got so drunk and hollered so loud They shined a spot light on me And I had Lynyrd Skynyrd do Free bird... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mioGewkWVdo for me and
