Are you freaking kidding me? The Stones at #5? They deserved 1 without a doubt. 50 years plus and still going strong. They opened the way for blues music in both the US and UK. Blues artists were completely ignored until the Rolling Stones showed how amazing the blues were. Then they branched out in many other musical directions still keeping their love of the blues as a base and staying true to classic rock. How many Stones songs are part of our classic rock history? Two negative comments are that Mick's a prick- so what- he is a hell of a singer, songwriter and frontman. Jim Morrison and John Lennon were also pricks, And they haven't done what the Beatles have done in 8 years- puhleeze!! Talk about being overrated. People put the Beatles on a pedestal because they changed the music scene but that's about the only thing they did.
Mine
1. The Beatles
2. Queen
3. Pink Floyd

totally agree with the top 3. as a massive queen fan i can't deny the influence of led zep or the beatles. anyway whoever said queen were not that good should really check their songs from the '70s rather than the hits. they're stunningly intelligent and always surprising!
Tool?
Fucking Radiohead? Really?
You missed white zombie
I'm not saying it should be top 5 but why is no one arguing KISS.
Guns and roses? Kiss? This list has autism
Metallica? Jesus wept, [I know I am]. That is so fucking unbelievably ridiculous, purveyors of tired old shit that was done ten times better the first time around. You must have lost every critical facility that you [may] have possessed. I must lie down in a darkened room to recover from the shock of hearing that bullshit excuse for music. I'm going to have to talk to my mate Old Nick about you lot, he'll put you right. Expect a visitation imminently.
I want Skillet, Linking Park, Three Days Grace, Adam Lambert, Ashes Remain, and Breaking Benjamin in this.

yay!!!it's no.1 for the beatles…
Glad Jimi Hendrix Experience didn't make the list as people so often put them. They didn't have the record sales, longevity, or creativity of the others. Hendrix could play the guitar really well. So could Clapton but that doesn't mean they should be on the list. Kind of weird they mentioned Gilmour but didn't say Waters. Also no mention of any more of the grunge rock bands of the '90s, only Radiohead? Nirvana, Alice N Chains, Bush, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden etc??? My personal list starting from #1 would have been The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, Metallica, Queen, Nirvana, Guns N Roses, CCR, Alice N Chains.
The Beatles suck ! A early ripoff of buddy holly
Can anyone explain to me why the jimi Hendrix experience wasn't even in the honorable mentions.
Pink Floyd is the greatest band ever!!!
My top ten:
1) The Beatles
2)Nirvana
3)Led Zeppelin
4)Pink Floyd
5)Red Hot Chilli Peppers
6)The Rolling Stones
7)Queen
8)Metallica
9)U2
10)Jimmy Hendrix
Fuck Guns n'Roses
Zeppelin is the best. Period. The Beatles? Yeah they can come in second.
who pickes these bands'? because everyone has a different opinion..
