Surprised there's no mention of Dylan, Cream, Sex Pistols, The Band, Traveling Wilburys.
I thought they only had two. Either way, I wasn't suggesting they were "top 10" - just wondering aloud at not being mentioned . So many really talented performers and groups over the years, no way could I choose only 10 to put above the others that have given me (and the world) such enjoyment.The Wilburys were great! But only 3 albums
But then it would be the top 11 Rock Bands of All Time. 11 would be the top.Spinal Tap
These are some of my favorites:
Beatles
Led Zepplin
Eagles
Steely Dan
Rolling Stones
Doobie Brothers - Like Midpack said before Michael McDonald
Chicago - before the death of Terry Kath
Tom Petty
Allman Brothers
Fun thread, love the picks!
Gen X'er here. So, I'm giving props to The Cure and New Order. Helped get me through the dark days of college.
Also, what about all the Motown greats?
Beatles
Rolling Stones
The Who
Kraftwerk
The Ramones
The Beach Boys
Pink Floyd
Prince
The Allman Brothers
The Grateful Dead
James Brown
Deep Purple
Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention
The Velvet Underground
The Kinks
Van Morrison
Michael Jackson
Aretha Franklin
Chuck Berry
I think that's 10. Actually, with the exception of a few (the Beatles, James Brown, velvet Underground) these are the greatest bands I've ever seen personally. Every one of them was a life changer. I could add in a couple more like Hawkwind and BOC that blew me away in concert, but don't usually make the top of anything list. I love music. And Phish. And String Cheese Incident. And Avenged Sevenfold. You know, this is impossible.

I always preferred to take the stairs, so I never became a Beatles aficionado.
I was all about looking for Cream! You kinda cheated by getting all of those bands under #44 Clapton anything, Blues Breakers, Cream

Great Motown songs and singers, but apart from the superb and legendary Funk Brothers session players who played on virtually all the Motown hits of the 1960s, there really weren't any Motown rock bands ('cepting Rare Earth).Fun thread, love the picks!
