Mainstream Rock (chart)

Mainstream Rock is a music chart in Billboard magazine that ranks the most-played songs on mainstream rock radio stations in the United States, a category that combines the formats of active rock and heritage rock. The chart was launched in March 1981, as Rock Albums & Top Tracks, after which the name changed first to Top Rock Tracks, then to Album Rock Tracks, and finally to its current Mainstream Rock in 1996.

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.

4/15/21 10:29pm

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

bob falfa

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? 🙂

4/15/21 10:31pm

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

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...

4/17/21 3:45pm

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

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...

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

Cream is in the discussion

GRCoug

Journey

cruoti

4/15/21 10:43pm

AC/DC

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

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?

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

The Doors

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

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...

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
