These are the five greatest rock bands of all time. Prove me wrong (protip: you cant)
1. Led Zeppelin
2. Pink Floyd
3. The Rolling Stones
4. Black Sabbath
5. The Doors
On what qualities do we rate a rock band? It sertenly should go beyond pure musical quality - I feel as if representation of sex and drugs is important. The lifestyle of the artists counts, they also have to be huge. Rockstars.
Without a doubt The Rolling Stones, Sabbath and Doors. Considering Iggy as well. Bowie lived that life, but his bosy of work is too 'artistic'. Post 80's is too poppy as well.
>>63854450
Thin Lizzy
That was easy
>>63854601
wrong
>>63854450
>Black Sabbath below any of those bands
>>63854601
This too
>>63854450
This is a dumb category, but the correct answer would be
1. The Beatles
2. Queen
3. Pink Floyd
4. R.E.M.
5. Rush
>>63854770
The Beatles suck and are one of the most overrated things ever
>>63854770
>rock band
imo music is almost irrelevant. it's all sex appeal, size and drugs.
>>63854806
Shit angsty teen opinion
>>63854601
Thin Lizzy is criminally underrated in the States.
>>63854450
zeppelin are easily the best ofc no doubt about that but pink floyd are way too lame to be at #2, sabbath and the stones are both much much better
1 soundgarden
2 alice in chains
3 nirvana
4 pearl jam
5 stone temple pilots
>>63854966
AiC are better than soundgarden though
>>63854865
Nah I'm with Keith Richards on this one, there's no roots to their music and it's rubbish
1. Little Richard
2. Link Wray
>>63854989
This
>>63854966
AiC
Nirvana
Soundgarden
STP
~literal shit~
Pearl Jam
>>63854989
Amen
>>63855087
So... The Beatles wrote atonal tunes?..wait, did they inventend dodecaphonic music?
You edgy motherfucker, you may be right about the Beatles being overrated, but so as any other major rock band in the history of pop music. There's is just so little you can do with the chords you use in pop music, and the Beatles did it all before breaking up.
> rootless music = defining every gender in pop music after them
Where the fuck is The Who
>>63855792
Overrated
>>63856067
>Quadrophenia
>Who's Next
>Live at Leeds
Fuck no
>>63854450
for me
>king crimsom
>pink floyd
>yes
>deep purple
>creedence
>>63854966
The greatest grunge bands ok, and now return to the topic of this thread
AC-DC
Iron Maiden
Jimi Hendrix
The Who
The Knack
>>63854966
Anyone who recognizes Soundgarden's greatness is alright in my book. The other bands are great too but you know what's up if you've got SG at number 1.
>>63854989
heh
>>63854450
Led Zep is nice but they are fairly limited
Pink Floyd did a lot of cool things, I won't complain about them in a top 5
Same with the Stones
Black Sabbath are highly influential but you have to admit they were btfo by all of their spawn
Doors should probably lead the list you've got
so... 3/5 greats ain't bad
>>63858385
Led Zeppelin invented modern rock and roll you idiot
>>63858385
>btfo by all of their spawn
which is who exactly
>>63854450
1. Pink Floyd/Deep Purple
2. Led Zeppelin
3. Black Sabbath
4. St Vincent
5. Nirvana
>>63858420
Eh, I'd give credit to Velvet Underground for that, and Zep doesn't need to be on a list that has the Stones.
>>63858430
All metal ever. For example: Dragonforce, Malmsteen, Dream Theater, etc. Much more accomplished musicians with superior songwriting skills.
>>63859092
So you're telling me that Black Sabbath is both the first and worst metal band ever? Huh.
>>63854601
Fantastic choice. Upsetting that most don't know them beyond their name.
I'd go for Thin Lizzy, not exactly sure in what position though. They weren't as influentional as Zep but still had a great impact on hard rock bands in general.
1. green Day
2-5. Who cares
>>63854450
Actual answer coming thru
The Beatles
The Who
Led Zeppelin
Pink Floyd
The Clash
>>63858146
...there's no way that people on this board actually think this, right?
Black Sabbath is metal bitch
1.Love
2.UFO
3.Pink Floyd
4.Led Zeppelin
5.The Doors
Side-Topic: Who is the best live rock band of all time: My personal three would be Pink Floyd, Queen and U2 (ZOO TV tour was incredible)
>>63859340
These are the right acts but in the wrong order, agree with Beatles as 1st though
>The Beatles
>Led Zeppelin
>Radiohead
>Pink Floyd
>Genesis
>>63859714
As much as I love Radiohead, they're not top five. and get the fuck out with Geneshit
>>63859773
Radiohead is the most important band of the last 30 years, they get to be in top 5
Led Zeppelin needs to be on every one of these lists, regardless of how much you like or dislike them.
>>63859818
I'm not disagreeing, but top five? Nah. Top ten without a doubt
>>63859837
agreed
>>63859837
they invented modern rock music, no one else can touch them
>>63859837
>>63859884
>>63859894
>People doesn't shit on Led Zeppelin for once
>>63854450
Grandpa, get off the internet.
>>63859894
How did they "invent" modern rock music? By ripping off poor blues musicians who had no way to defend themselves? They were just one band among many making blues rock.
>>63860215
>By ripping off poor blues musicians who had no way to defend themselves?
>had no way to defend themselves
Oh, but they did though. Led Zeppelin used to get sued about once a week.
>>63854450
>Prove me wrong (protip: you cant)
1. Radiohead
2. Pink Floyd
3. The Velvet Underground
4. King Crimson
5. The Beatles

1. The Grateful Dead
2. The Pink Floyd
3. The Can
4. The Fugazi
5. The Phish
>>63860481
Found the stoner
everyone that doesn't have Led Zeppelin as #1 is wrong
>>63854450
>Black Sabbath
>The Doors
the fuck outta here
>>63854966
the bait is so obvious and they still fall for it
>>63860629
The bait is right though.
>>63860565
Fuck Led Zeppelin. They're plagiarist assholes and Robert Plant sounds like he's gargling a throat full of semen. Page is a sloppy guitarist and looks like an old korean lady. And Bonham is dead. Fuck JPJ too, even though he might have a modicum of talent.
>>63860744
I kind of agree about plant but you can't say Led Zeppelin wasn't at least talented. I feel like led zeppelin suffers from the same problem as the rolling stones in the sense that they're associated with dads and "real rawk" and all that stuff, and that causes a lot of people to write them off. They're actually p gr8 tbqh, even though they might be overrated by boomers
>>63860744
>>63860855
you're both retarded
>>63860963
mind explaining why?
