cosmic, i bet u have to at least LIKE The Who..


They were OK but the Deep Purple were far better and had more songs that I enjoyed. When the Who started doing their rock operas they lost me. Live At The Leeds and Join Together With The Band were their best albums.

Nirvana is no rock.
I like Aerosmith and Queen.

I pretty much like all of the stuff Mr.Jack4WAR mentioned. Also Marilyn Manson is great :D

since nobody has mentioned Tool, I guess it is up to me... Tool (best CD=lateralus)

Omg you're crazy, you can't tell me that Deep Purple, Eagles, Uriah Heep, The Moody Blues, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Aerosmith, Canned Heat, and Billy Idol are not decent musicians.

Add in some Deep Purple, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, In Flames, Arch Enemy, 8 Foot Sativa, Black Sabbath, The Foo Fighters, and The Rolling Stones!

ok how can u even get

In flames and judas priest in the same SENTENCE! iam not saying that those bands r bad, they r good... i just dont like them:)

wow i might have to hate all thise bands mentioned above^

If you hate these bands then you really must be disgusted with the bands that are out there today for they either sound like shit or they copy those bands before them.

i dont hate them, like i said before, they r really good... i just dont like them .. opionion-dont like fact-good

"Weird Al"

um... he is awesome, but he isnt rock

Red Hot Chili Peppers
Queens of the Stone Age
Machine Gun Fellatio
U2

How come nobody has mentioned Simple Plan.

Just kidding. They suck major. But seriously how nobody has mentioned Led Zeppelin.

Led Zeppelin. There, I said it.
Nine Inch Nails
Pink Floyd
Spoon
Electric Six
Radiohead

Just to name a few.

Motörhead
Böhse Onkelz
Blind Guardian
In Flames

Those are my topmost favorites.

Nirvana is no rock.
I like Aerosmith and Queen.
HUH?! Grunge isn't rock anymore?

I also like Queen, Buckcherry, System of a Down, Alice in Chains, Mortiis.... And that's only English-speaking ones. I also like Unheilig, although that could be Christian rock for all I know. Oh and I just dug up Allersleen from my music folder. Darn, I have to learn other languages just to know I'm not listening to anything crappy.

Faith No More.
Metallica.
Anthrax.
S Club 7.
In that order.

HUH?! Grunge isn't rock anymore?

I also like Queen, Buckcherry, System of a Down, Alice in Chains, Mortiis....

And Mortiis is darkwave.

Despite my age, I'm not as fond of the music I grew up with as some people--Elvis, Little Richard, Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly, etc. I thought popular music reached its apex in the 1970s. So many genres peaked.

Psychedelic: Pink Floyd, Tangerine Dream.
Art Rock: David Bowie, Mott the Hoople.
Heavy Metal: Black Sabbath, Blue Oyster Cult.
Progressive Rock: Genesis, Renaissance.
Folk Rock: Fairport Convention, the Strawbs.
Fusion: Jean-Luc Ponty, Al DiMeola.
Singer-Songwriter: Billy Joel, John Prine.
Reggae: Bob Marley, Peter Tosh.
Country Rock: Lynyrd Skynyrd, Molly Hatchet.
Soft Rock: The Eagles, Fleetwood Mac.

Yeah, disco and power-pop arose in the 70s, but so did punk and new wave.

There's been plenty of wonderful music, and even entire new genres, since then. But month by month, I found more tunes I loved and still love being produced in the 1970s than in any other decade.

Jerry Lee Lewis

Joe Cocker

Chuck Berry

The West Coast Experimental Pop Art Band

Pacfic Gas And Electric

The Electric Flag

Ten Wheel Drive

Grand Funk Railroad

Fleetwood Mack

I like quite a few of the bands already mentioned, but the Stones and CCR are the absolute greatest.

By the way, Alain, Weird Al does everything, so he could technically be considered rock.

Classic Rock: Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath, David Bowie, Neil Young
Alternative Rock (Vintage): Smashing Pumpkins, R.E.M, The Cure
Revival Rock: Sam Roberts, White Stripes
Progressive Rock: Porcupine Tree, Mars Volta, Tool
Post Rock: Explosions in the Sky, Godspeed You Black Emperor, Mogwai
Modern Alternative Rock: Broken Social Scene, Arcade Fire, Radiohead

alter bridge

Guns n' Roses
Tool
Red Hot Chili Peppers

I also like many individual songs from bands that I generally don't like. cosmictraveler, I thought I was the only one who listens to Grand Funk Railroad. I love listening to my 60s and 70s records (many of them belonged to my parents or to people I knew who were going to throw them out).

I forgot to mention the Guess Who. After I saw Burton cummings live, I progressed much faster in learning the piano because of his inspiration, now I can play his songs!

I'm stuck between the cosmictraveller and Fraggle Rocker. I'll just add Supertramp and the early Alan Parsons Project.

Cosmic, should I give a listen to Pacific Gas And Electric and Ten Wheel Drive? Is it hard rock? Southern rock? Bluesy-folky rock?

Heh, I can't really think of any bands that hasn't already been said. However, I can't believe nobody has yet to mention The Beatles. Yes, they did a lot more than just pop songs targetted towards girls (only their early stuff really was). They're the most evolutionized band ever.

- N

I like the Beatles, but I didn't think to mention them because they aren't my all-time favorites. They are quite good, especially during their "Beatles on Drugs" era. Their greatest song was Eleanor Rigby.

Oh, and Titanguy-Alter Bridge sucks LOL!!!

well geese no one in this entire site likes modern day metal
haha, well i like post hardcore/emo/screamo... u no what ever
-Greeley Estates
-Alesana
-Haste the Day
-Norma Jean
-A Dying Decleration
-So She Sang
--- and weirdly i wudnt no how to catorigize these two bands :SOAD, and Static-x

The Stooges
Queens Of The Stone Age
The Who
Fu Manchu
Black sabbath

And lots of others

The Beatles are automatic... they are above being mentioned. This is a rock bands thread though, they would be classified more as "pop".

The Atomic Rooster

Tower Of Power

Dr. John

The Fugs

Pacific Gas and Electric

Peace and Quiet

The James Gang

Motörhead
Böhse Onkelz
Blind Guardian
In Flames

Those are my topmost favorites.

Blind Guardian 4tw!

i also like Queen, Trans-Siberian Orchestra (great guitarmanship), hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Steppenwolf, etc

This is a rock bands thread though, they would be classified more as "pop".

True, though some Beatles ("Come Together" for instance) is more like rock. And in the old days there wasn't much of a difference anyway.

If guitar qualifies as "Rock" music:
Reich and Roll, excellent band. They play old, 19th C and early 20th C German military music with Rock instruments.
