Top Rock Bands in the last 50 years Options

[stryker76]

How are (in you own opinion) the top 5 rock bands in the last 50 years or so. I saw 50 years because that is pretty much when rock became more main stream here in america with the "British Invasion" and all. Also its when Rock n Roll really exploded onto the scene.

For me tho beign a heavy rock fan my self i'd say"

1. Lynard Skynard - One of the few bands that made an original apperence at Woodstock and still very popular.

2. The Beatles w/ Eric Clapton - Clapton and Harrison where childhood friends and wrote some of the best song ever (While My Guitar Gently Weeps) with Clapton of the guitars

3. Metallica - Not the first but certianly the ones to prefect Heavy Rock. These guys paved the way for many bands we have today that ppl enjoy.

4. Jimi Hendrix - Not one of my personal Favorites but i do like some of his stuff and respect him for creating much of the first sound of electric Distortion from a guitar and making it music. Heavy Rock and many other styles wouldnt be here with out him.

5. Disdurbed - The heavy Rock Band of the new century. They have followed the path of some of the greats before them to bring a new sound to new generations of rockers. With sounds much like those of Panthera, Metallica, Black Sabith and many others. They are newest great rock bands of the ages.

oOoOo this is hard...

1. The Beatles Deff. my #1. They defined a generation and paved the way for rock bands of today to rock on! Not my personal fav, but a must.
2. Nirvana Again, not a personal fav, but still very significant. Like the Beatles, they paved the road for grunge, and alternative music.
3. Aerosmith and The Rolling Stines Heehee, now its time for MY favorite. I luv Aerosmith, but the Stones are on the same page as Aerosmith in terms of legends. But The Stones are older, so they have a slight "up" on Aerosmith. I could've picked other bands like The Who or The Eagles, but these guys are legends.
4. U2 Gotta luv U2. It amazes me how they've been on the charts for 20+ years, and they still have amazing shows! These guys will never die (ha, much like the Stones. HOW old r they?! )
5. Coldplay Okay, so I put up some of the "older" bands, and now time for a more current band. I luv these guys. They're paving the way for a new sound in rock music to come out. I mean they don't sound like your typical rock band, they combine new sounds together, and it works! I totally believe that Coldplay's the next U2. Rock On!
