Out of those 4 my preference would probably be Rush followed by Aerosmith...

Too broad of a question

The list could go on for a while...Metallica, The Stones, The Who, Pink Floyd, and of course Led Zeppelin...just really quick off the top of my head

Pretty accurate IMHO. However, was the Jimi Hendrix Experience really a band? If so, couldn't you put Elvis and the Jordanaires on there somewhere?

Not you.

Yes, but only because you spent all your time listening to them, knobbing them on this board, then pissing on random females' rugs in your prior incarnation.

Bob Marley was not rock. Loved him, but not rock.

They've got the Dixie Chicks ahead of Deep Purple too. WTF?

How did Stone Temple Pilots (13) rank ahead of the two bands they tried to copy, Nirvana (50) and Pearl Jam (36)?

Living Colour ahead of Black Sabbath and Skynrd = FAIL

This explains so much.

FACT: It starts with the Stones as a Rock and Roll band. All others are imitations.

And the Stones were just doing their best at being Chuck Berry, Muddy, etc...in their wonderful, white boy way.

Not generally, though once or twice I've been inspired to stand naked on the parapet of various campus buildings while listening to The Stones and I suppose you could say that most everything was 'out' at those times.

Why? Is is something I might have borrowed from Pat Boone devotees?

[NormanPride]

Aww, it's cute. It's like the old guys on the board think their old fogey rock is cool.

Rock was like the cavemen banging sticks and **** together until God came down and gave us Metal.

I'm trolling. I love Hendrix, Zappa, and the Allman Brothers.

[OutlandTrophy]

I see your puny 'metal' and raise you punk. 'Bring on the Nubiles' is one nice place to start.

Punk is to Metal what satan is to God. I acknowledge its prominence among the fools of the world, but those who have seen the light know what to listen to.

Dixie Chicks are also not rock.

just read part of the list. pretty good list.

The first 15-20 are. The Stones are about where they should be. My biggest beef with the list is having the Dixie Chicks anywhere on there, and not having Grand Funk anywhere on there.

I like the list. obviously I completely disagree with teh Stones placement. (I mean seriously, they ranked them behind the Beatles in "Live performance"? Did the beatles ever play live?) And the BeeGees ahead of the Stones?

You know what, **** that. I take it back, **** that list and **** the ****ers associated with that ****ing list. And **** you if you think that ****ing list is even ****ing close to being ****ing right.


whew. I'm okay, I'm okay, I'm okay, I'm okay...

Difference of opinion is not a judgement of my worth. I'm okay, I'm okay....

Go rent a pink 1962 Cadillac convertable, plug in 'London Calling' and drive from Tulsa to Norman for game day. I'd suggest black coffee 1/2 and 1/2 with Remy Martin (but won't for that would be illegal) to maintain the mood. Perhaps follow up with Iggy and the Stooges for a light, flippant twist at the end.
You'll be ready for Sooner Football at the end of that.

[OrlandoSooner]

My four favorite:

Led Zeppelin
Pearl Jam
Pink Floyd
Hendrix (if you consider him a band)

[SoonerDude]

I can't decide between Winger and Skid Row.

Sounded like fun at first...for every good Stooges song there are 7 terds.

Granted, but I was striving for an inverse roll after the Clash and Iggy came as close as I could get this late in the day. Tom Verlaine suit you better?

Winger had the chick who got fat later rolling around on the car, right? Does that help?

Just the fact that "The Ramones" don't even get a mention in that list invalidates it.

They weren't my favorite band by no means but they had such an effect on Rock n Roll and the Punk Movement that to have some of those bands that are/were grunge on there and not have the Ramones....It's insulting to history IMO.

[KantoSooner]

Okay, let's have the Ramones.
