Top 5 rock bands of alltime

[cumminsnbabes]

1. AC/DC

2. Aerosmith

3. ZZ Top

4. Lynyrd Skynrd

5. Creed



As you can probably tell I'm a classic rock man. With the exception of Creed, i can't stand any of the new stuff. The addition of my new speakers was what prompted this thread. AC/DC's Hells Bells sounds awesome when cranked up.



I would interested to know what anybody else with an interest in rock music has for a top five list.



Cummins till death do me and my engine part. I'm sure it'll outlast me.

[The patriot]

Skynyrd.

Mettalica.

[HEMI®Dart]

I think Metallica is more Metal than rock.



Can't leave out Pink Floyd.

[AKAMAC]

OK I'm old... ... .



1: Beatles; timeless but not true rock

2: Lynyrd Skynrd; Southern rock at its best

3/4: Metallica, Stones, Led Zep. Take your pick.

5: Eagles (still great and touring), 38 Special (great vocals), REO Speedwagon (I'm dated now)



Now that was hard... ... . Mike

 

[DKayser]

Duh!

I might suggest those 4 young men from Liverpool, THE BEATLES. Stones- without a doubt. The Doors, on quality not quantity. Jimi, same reasons. Crosby,Stills, & Nash belong somewhere up there. I`m gonna guess the list will reflect the age of the poster,as well as their taste. DK.

Bill,



AC/DC is also considered heavy metal depending on who you ask. ( I don't care what their considered, all I care about is that they're the truest brand of hard rock ever!)



Anyway, as long as you stay within the rock/heavy metal genre, you're fulfilling my purpose for this thread.



Thanks for the post.

Gotta give a big hand to the Stones - still rockin' in the Geritol years. They can still sell out arenas even when they have reached the point they require wheelchair and ambulance ramps to the stage :-laf :-laf

My personal favorites:

1) The Beatles

2) Led Zeppelin

3) Van Halen

4) Guns & Roses

5) The Police



Yeah, I know, the Police aren't all that 'hard' but they put out some great songs for a few years there. Zeppelin and the Beatles both ended on top.

Zep

Tull

Floyd

Skynyrd
