Just best music. And, let's say studio.

Agree with this 100%

Metallica

OU Cougar

4/15/21 10:27pm

At their peak touring days, there really wasn't anything like them

BlackBart

4/15/21 11:23pm

Why are they all British?

Tare

4/15/21 10:27pm

I've wondered that myself. It seems they punch above their weight.

Cougar Junkie

4/15/21 10:29pm

Same here. Seems like bands are British and individual artists are American,

bob falfa

4/16/21 7:39am

Metallica is ten times better than those bands.

tippmancoug

4/15/21 10:30pm

AC/DC right below Metallica

tippmancoug

4/15/21 10:30pm

Beavis and Butthead? Is that you? 🙂

Cougar Junkie

4/15/21 10:31pm

No, if you want American Blues combined with British Rock, it's...

So it goes...

RE: Metallica is ten times better than those bands.

Marc Spector

4/16/21 7:32am

You left off RUSH. And the The Eagles.

Y-Zag

4/15/21 10:31pm

Intentionally left off because Rush sucks. Eagles are fine...but not the best.

RalphWiggam

4/15/21 10:36pm

Rush sucks...the wind out of your sails. They’re excellent. Best rock drummer of

BlooCoog

4/15/21 10:41pm

The singer’s voice is just way too annoying and squeaky.

RalphWiggam

4/15/21 10:57pm

Agreed...Rush is an acquired taste. But once you acquire the taste...dang they

BlooCoog

4/16/21 8:54am

And despite all of that they are just so terrible

A_blue_car

4/15/21 11:27pm

I’m telling you...it’s because of the singer’s squeaky and annoying voice.

RalphWiggam

4/15/21 11:30pm

Even outside of Lee's voice, I just truly dislike them

A_blue_car

4/15/21 11:51pm

You have no self swareness apparently, because you're the anomaly, not everyone

Kerbouchard

4/16/21 2:58pm

OK, I guess I'm the only person who doesn't like Rush

A_blue_car

4/16/21 3:05pm

People tend to mock that which they don't understand. KISS might be your speed

Kerbouchard

4/16/21 2:53pm

Well, considering I'll take Dylan over any band listed here

A_blue_car

4/16/21 3:07pm

Dylan is excellent.

BlooCoog

4/17/21 2:24pm

Yes Dylan is excellent and one of the GOATS, I didn't consider Dylan because...

So it goes...

4/17/21 3:45pm

To me anyone who likes and appreciates Dylan has excellent taste...

So it goes...

4/17/21 3:46pm

The eagles are my musical litmus test. If you like the eagles, then we just

Jay Rick

4/15/21 10:47pm

You just proved you have ZERO credibility in this discussion, ZERO

Kerbouchard

4/16/21 2:49pm

This is the epitome of every Rush fan. They nailed it.

RalphWiggam

4/15/21 11:02pm

Says "Ralph Wiggam"

Kerbouchard

4/16/21 2:50pm

Indeed he does. That guy from the Goldbergs is the epitome of every Rush fan

RalphWiggam

4/16/21 4:41pm

U2. End of discussion.

RalphWiggam

4/15/21 10:36pm

Yeah, because it's not a discussion that should even be started

A_blue_car

4/15/21 10:51pm

You’re right. It’s U2, and then everyone else.

RalphWiggam

4/16/21 12:16am

First off, U2 is Pop, not rock IMO, and they are sooooo generic.

Nakedbootleg

4/16/21 7:02am

Um, go listen to Exit, Bullet the Blue Sky, the Under a Blood Red Sky album, etc

RUNBYU1

4/16/21 9:47am

U2 is Irish and British technically. Edge is Welsh.

RUNBYU1

4/16/21 9:49am

Yuck.

Jeffacka

4/15/21 10:54pm

The OP said rock and roll bands, not boring...

So it goes...

4/16/21 1:32am

Literally the most overrated group ever

Backcountry

4/16/21 6:33am

U2 is not in this discussion, but they're worlds better than Queen or Pink Floyd

Hotlanta

4/16/21 7:27am

RE: U2. End of discussion.

Marc Spector

4/16/21 7:32am

This is like saying REM and The Cars should be in the discussion

Marc Spector

4/16/21 7:43am

Thats a disservice to U2 and The Cars

Backcountry

4/16/21 7:57am

U2 actually has a lot of real rock stuff compared to REM & The Cars. Hold Me,

RUNBYU1

4/16/21 12:25pm

Miracle of Joey Ramone. Definitely Rock. That whole album in fact.

RalphWiggam

4/16/21 12:55pm

Exactly. But people who only know the few #1 radio hits don't understand the ver

RUNBYU1

4/16/21 1:50pm

Van Halen

Sparkling Delirium

4/15/21 10:38pm

Cream is in the discussion

GRCoug

4/15/21 10:41pm

Journey

cruoti

4/15/21 10:43pm

AC/DC

NorthwestCoug

4/15/21 10:46pm

Agree. AC DC by a mile. Timeless rock songs. The Beatles 60’s sound

bad84cougar

4/16/21 1:10am

It’s the Beatles. But my favorite band of all time is fugazi.

Jay Rick

4/15/21 10:48pm

Warrant

The Grateful Dead

crimedog

4/15/21 10:51pm

The Who are severely underrated when talking about great bands.

crimedog

4/15/21 10:52pm

I never really appreciated them until the past decade or so.

StarMan

4/15/21 11:04pm

Agreed

Greg4BYU

Boston

Division Bell

Spinal Tap

StalwartBraveTrue

4/15/21 10:58pm

Would Go Led Zepplin Best Rock Beatles best Band and I like Audioslave for best

Osteotome

4/15/21 10:58pm

Your top 6 list is pretty much my list. I would add Rush as my 7th, but...

Greg4BYU

4/15/21 11:01pm

Do you think Rush is better than any of the 6?

Cougar Junkie

4/15/21 11:05pm

I would probably put Rush ahead of Queen most days... sometimes Queen moves up

Greg4BYU

4/15/21 11:08pm

It's pretty much mine too, but Rush would be # (how many rock bands exist?)

A_blue_car

4/15/21 11:10pm

You need to trade in your blue car for a red Barchetta. 😉

Greg4BYU

4/15/21 11:56pm

You cannot tell me you truly like that song

A_blue_car

4/16/21 9:51am

I love that song

Greg4BYU

4/16/21 4:57pm

The Doors

Elwood Blues

4/15/21 11:17pm

In their prime 1985-1990...Quensryche.

bubbastats

4/16/21 12:53am

As for me and my house it’s Thomas Earl Petty and the Heartbreakers.

Housemartin

4/16/21 1:33am

Zeppelin or the Beatles. How is it even a question?

Backcountry

4/16/21 6:36am

This is correct

Marc Spector

4/16/21 7:33am

Metallica and Iron Maiden are 1 and 1a

Metallicat

4/16/21 6:52am

I can agree with Iron Maiden.

Jeffacka

4/16/21 7:31am

I really liked their last album. Even Death Magnetic had some solid tracks.

Metallicat

4/16/21 8:12am

Death Magnetic was good.

Jeffacka

4/16/21 9:08am

Okay? relative to anything put out by the hard rock/heavyweights in last 20?

BlackBart

4/16/21 1:49pm

I thought hardwired was almost (but not quite) as good as the first four albums.

Metallicat

4/16/21 1:51pm

It was fine. I listened to it a little bit when it came out.

Jeffacka

4/16/21 2:07pm

Isn't listed in your poll. The term best is subjective. The most influential

DeekLyfter

4/16/21 6:58am

The Who and I can prove it.

Nakedbootleg

4/16/21 7:11am

Wyld Stallions are #2

Nakedbootleg

I got the same grade from my English teacher because of my subject matter.

Nakedbootleg

Van Halen

RockyBalboa

4/16/21 7:17am

Why are the Traveling Wilbury's not on the list. They are one of the all time greats!!!

crimedog

4/16/21 8:13am

But they only have a few great songs. The GOAT band has to have a much larger

BlooCoog

4/17/21 2:26pm

It's a very good list to select from. Makes me think what a shame that...

So it goes...

4/16/21 1:12pm

Petty, Foo Fighters, Van Halen with most top 10 hits

AggieWeekendCougar

4/16/21 2:44pm

It all starts with RUSH on top. The argument starts at #2
