Post your top 5 rock bands of all time

[Buck]

I'm interested in seeing what era most people's favorites come from and if there are more US bands or UK bands (or Scandinavian if you're Reaper16)

Clean sweep for the Brits for me.

1. The Beatles
2. Rolling Stones
3. Led Zep
4. Pink Floyd
5. The Who

Define band however you want. If you want to throw Elvis on your list, do it.

[Steron]

In no order;

Guns N Roses
Metallica
AC/DC
The Eagles
The Rolling Stones

Led Zeppelin would make it except they are enormous thieves.

[MOhillbilly]

Sheer terror
Black flag
Bon Scott AC/DC
Beowulf
Jerry Lee

Motorhead

[the_spatula]

Radiohead
Queen
MUSE
The Smiths
The Cure

1. Styx
2. REO ****ing Speedwagon
3. Foreigner
4. Boston
5. Journey


I mean, females over the age of 40 get a pass on listening to such schlocky drivel, but goddamn, I have to change the channel. Those 5 bands are the reason why I can't listen to the 'classic rock radio' format. It's such whiny girlie CRAP. Just my opinion...but the music from all 5 of those bands is, like, salt-peter limp.

I saw Tool in the summer of 1992 before anybody really knew who they were. They were on the 2nd stage at Lollapalooza.

The headliners? Rage Against the Machine, Fishbone, Primus, Alice in Chains...JFC what a day.

Wow, I think that's the first time I've ever seen Tool and Journey in the same list (of anything).
