Recently I got curious and did a google search to see who people thought were the greatest rock and roll bands of all time. Some of the shit that some websights put at the top made me laugh. So I'll ask you guys who you think the best ones are.

Heres mine:

1. Pink Floyd
2. The Beatles
3. Led Zeppelin
4. The Rolling Stones
5. Grateful Dead


Honorable mentions:
Dire Straits, The Doors, AC/DC, Sublime, Bad Company, Aerosmith, Jimi Hendrix, Derrick and the Dominos, Rush

No order, but do solo artists count? I'll exclude Lennon's solo career.

The Beatles
Led Zeppelin
Pink Floyd
The Doors
Bob Dylan

HONORS (no order) (two best from each decade, with two solo artists from the 80's, with several people pre-80's)
------------
Neil Young
Jimi Hendrix Experience
Rolling Stones
Black Sabbath
The Cure (80's)
The Velvet Underground
The Clash
The Ramones
Nirvana (90's)
Radiohead (90's)
Metallica (Kill 'Em All-Black Album) (80's)
Steve Vai (80's solo)
Yngwie Malmsteen (80's solo)
Queen
The Sex Pistols

I was gonna add The Pixies and REM but I need to branch out further into their material.

My Choice

The Mafia Is Not Primarily An Organisation Of Murderers.
First And Foremost,The Mafia Is Made Up Of Thieves.
It Is Driven By Greed And Controlled By Fear.

Between The Law And The Mafia, The Law Is Not The Most To Be Feared

"What if the Mafia were not an organization but a widespread Sicilian attitude of hostility towards the law?"

"Somebody told me when the bomb hits, everybody in a two mile radius will be instantly sublimated, but if you lay face down on the ground for some time, avoiding the residual ripples of heat, you might survive, permanently fucked up and twisted like you're always underwater refracted. But if you do go gas, there's nothing you can do if the air that was once you is mingled and mashed with the kicked up molecules of the enemy's former body. Big-kid-tested, motherf--ker approved."

(I need to mention that only a very few Fifties R&R artists played with their own bands, and none benefited from the electronics and studio techniques that boosted the above bands. The best of the Fifties bands: Little Richard, Fats Domino, Buddy Holly and the Crickets, Duane Eddy, all of whom toured with their own bands.)

to limit yourself to one genre is pretty ridiculous - but rock & roll has become a term that defines an all-around basis of pop music in the 20th century, so:

top five greatest:
1.) the beatles
2.) radiohead
3.) bob dylan
4.) the rolling stones
5.) the velvet underground

top five favorites:
1.) nirvana
2.) the beatles
3.) neutral milk hotel
4.) radiohead
5.) the smiths
