The rest gave me a nice laugh though

Hahahaha, Queen of course

The Kinks

Yeah I noticed that lol, well that's some of the bands I listen to, mind sharing some of yours?

You would like Wishbone Ash, Captain Beyond and Uriah Heep.

I'll have to check them out, though I do listen to Uriah Heep and they are good, don't know why I had them in the list, though the list is just a snippet of the bands I like.

Mystic Knights of Oingo Boingo. Danny Elfman's band in the 80s.

>Queen
>The Jimi Hendrix Experience
>Yes

Maybe Fleetwood Mac, Creedence or Skynyrd, but eh

You can take out Cream, Yes and The Kinks for starters.

Top five "classic" bands imo are

Zeppelin
Floyd
King crimson
Genesis
Yes

A bonus sixth - Steely Dan

On the subject of Uriah Heep (good, but nowhere near the best)
Listen to the album Weed by Weed.

>Led Zeppelin
try Def Leppard

5th one?
According to my perception of your taste: The Who.
According to me tilted towards core rock: Iron Maiden
Tilted towards melodic blanket rock: either Queen or ELO

The Beatles are overrated as fuck. The rest of your list is fine. I'll add Boston to the list

Those are all good bands, haven't listened too much to The Kinks though so I should check them out.

I have a hard time ranking all the bands but Thin Lizzy is definitely a top contender!

Cream and The Kinks were revolutionaries. I'll agree with Yes, though they might be the best technically out of them all.

Will do!

Iron Maiden are a good shout and so too are Judas Priest.

However, neither topple The Who, Sabbath or Queen. In terms of musical quality they come close but in terms of impact they do not.

I am just a cowboy lonely on the trail

Rednex

In terms of their sound yes. In terms of their number of hit records compared to the others no. In terms of band personality and aura compared to the others no.

Heavy with the prog. Wish the best bands were all just prog (and judging by ability, they're the best at what they do)- but most never gained much traction.
Steely Dan has a special place for me too, but not the best.

Queen

Motorhead need to be in the mix. So many good songs. Seriously underrated.

Right Said Fred

Winner.

>Metallica
>Eagles

An hero at once.

Oh yes! The reason why Thin Lizzy are my favourite band is because there are probably 3-4 songs that I think is mediocre but the majority of their songs are great!

e-type
abba

C418 you fucking niggers

I can agree with hit records (even though Cream and The Kinks popularized that heavier sound)
But personality? Clapton, Baker and Jack Bruce tore up stadiums with just three people. And The Kinks were bad boys, infamous for being banned from the US (resulting in that loss of popularity).

Gorillaz

Iron Maiden

Saw them live (one of my favorite bands)
But even I have to kek at that

bowling for soup

Strong arguments can be made for The Who, and they probably have a better overall discography, but I'd edge it out to Jimi Hendrix.
He permanently changed how people played perceived guitar, his innovations in production, and his iconic aesthetic is inseparable from rock n roll, which is empty without guitar heros.
All credit to The Who for of course for making everything loud in the first place.

Personally I wish Sweet got more recognition. Desolation Boulevard is a master piece

Wrong. They are a one hit band. The rest of their songs were mediocre - most with a very similar sound to Boys are Back but none as good.

Wrong. Beatles are different from every other act that has ever existed, and changed music for the whole universe to come. Compared to today's music they aren't outrageous, but then, compared to today's music, no one has ever done anything as good as them as a band. One hit wonders are better all the time, yes, but nothing like their consistency.

I guess you can see the irony in it?

Go home kid

Madness are so shit live. Quite unbelievable considering how fun some of the songs are. Still not even in the same league as some of the other bands mentioned.

kek

It can be rough. Thoms voice is definitely- unique...
But then you see other bands who are absolutely disappointing live, and you can't judge them as harshly.

I disagree, they have plenty of good albums packed with good music! But if it doesn't float your boat it won't bother my ears.

Black Sabbath.

finally someone realises the only possible option (besides Queen)
I guess it makes sense this many retards are on Yea Forums. The only one that comes close in any of these posts is The Doors. If you have any decent taste in music, the undeniably best band is Radiohead. The beauty of their music and the complexity has changed the world of music more than any other band before them. The only reason they aren't higher on the list than the Beatles is that the Beatles came first.

It should be between Queen and Black Sabbath. Both overall better bands than the Who.

What needs to be underlined is just how many genres they mastered and innovated just within 10 years.
Then the cultural impact.

Attached: doubt.jpg (316x316, 7K)

Genesis you fucking plebs! Preferably Peter Gabriel era.

Weird Al?

Queen imo

Radiohead are shit you edgy hipster.

Black sabbath really isn't that amazing

I said it before, Radiohead is one of my favorites. They'll be considered one of the greater acts in the future, I promise you.
But right now, nowhere near the others' level.
I think its Queen, The Who or Sabbath.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder as they used to say..

Bit like Bob Dylan, no? Radiohead is always tinkering with their sound, and for that they dominated part of the direction the 90's took.
OK Computer belongs in the library of congress, but I'm a Bends guy.

classic rock has been dead. coverbands dont count

I was happy they at least released Lift and Man O War after so long. It was nice to hear rock-era Radiohead again. Sad to see where they're headed now...
When I heard their latest release, I'll Wind, I was let down (kek). Sounds like Kid A/Amnesia, but without that spirit.

>The Beatles are overrated as fuck.
Context. You have to understand the era they were born into and the place they came from. They were white, middle and working class kids with no access to the level of information that we enjoy today. Their influences were a semi-romanticised and very distant expression of music that was an antidote to their own very limited prospects. They did what they did all by themselves and against all the odds.
Neither do I think they were appropriating black music or culture. They would have had no idea about that sort of thing. They played those songs as best they could and, with limited technology and technique, invented a new sound that had little relation to the black oeuvre that spawned the originals.
The Beatles' triumph was to create a bridge across the old world of post-war music hall entertainment to the new, autonomous self-creating culture of modern youth. Their style and story became a template that was adopted by the world and is still celebrated today.
So, no. Not really overrated.

Nope I dispise radio pop. I think Radiohead are under The Smith's and The Cure and many others.

Beatles were the Westlife of the 60's
The real deal was Black Sabbath unless you where a christian boy scout who only fucks to reproduce..

The Prodigy

Wait...you think Sabbath's impact is bigger than Queen? lol. Especially after the fucking huge movie that just wrecked the oscars?
Look, sabbath is great, but we're talking ALL TIME here, not just rock and roll.

Besides Ozzy (and MAYBE Iommi), no one really knows much about Sabbath.
Everybody knows Freddie Mercury and Brian May- and as shitty as it is- Mercury's death cemented their legacy much faster.

Yes Queens impact culturally was on par with Sabbaths but not musically.

Chumbawumba

Ozzy and Freddy are equals. Brian May is a boring fuck.

You like Iron Maiden and Rush and Whitesnake. If you're that cringey then it's no wonder you don't like the Beatles.

Sabbath inspired an entire new genre of music

Honestly, I'd pick May over Iommi almost any day. The latter would always do the same repetitive, hammer-on bullshit, and stuck to the pentatonic scale.
May at least mixed it up with touches of jazz, thrash, rockabilly, etc.

not really. just more plain folk with different instruments.

Very refreshing to see that there is still a small population of Yea Forums that has intelligence and a set of standards that withstand debate, passion and sometimes polite disagreement.
Some excellent musical choices on display, too.

Ok to put it in the simplest way for you, as it's obviously needed.

Queens impact on the general populace was about equal to Sabbath. Queen created massive mainstream appeal. Sabbath created massive Alternative appeal. Queens popularity was nothing new. Sabbath was the difference being down to the music. Queens impact musically i.e the sound they created and the impact it had on music is not as great as Sabbaths.

>The Kinks "You Really Got Me"
>Helter Skelter, 1968
>Sabbath called a Cream rip-off during debut

That's Heavy Metal to you?

Brian May is one of the few guitarists to invent a sound that is instantly recognisable and stylistically very personal. Mark Knopfler is another one.
Tony Iommi's playing is admittedly somewhat cruder, but he delivered some killer riffs. Still, not bad for a man with the tops of his fingers missing. I think if that had happened to me I'd have given up music and become a drummer.

>The Kinks "You Really Got Me"
Set the tone for punk, although it still opened people up to harder music.

Possibly:
The Who

>Whos the fifth?
Beethoven

Django Reinhardt was the inspiration for him to continue playing guitar. I'm still dumbfounded when I hear that damn gypsy play.

def leppard

>Helter Skelter, 1968
Beatles fans always come out with this. When in truth Helter Skelter is just a low down and dirty rock song. If it had been released by the Stones no one would have batted an eyelid.

The doors had about 7 good songs all about 8/10.

Yes, it's an inspiration.

>Sabbath called a Cream rip-off during debut
>implying critics aren't retarded half the time
Cream was still carrying the British invasion, starting with explosive blues then delving into the psychedelic with solid pop songwriting. It was as much about Clapton, Bruce, and Baker being the best in the business and melting ears with their musicianship.
Black Sabbath was on paper less talented, but Ozzy's stage presence and Iommi's super popped out of this creepy album cover. Themes of the macabre, devil worship, all of that lead to thousands of bands owing their lineage to Sabbath.
Queen made their mark, that's indisputable, but the sheer volume of what Sabbath inspired, I don't see the debate here.

Agreed. I lean towards Sabbath over Queen because I like their sound more. However, Queen do have the greater number of good to great songs.

>the greater number of good to great songs.
Oh definitely both in writing and as cultural staples. and Black Sabbath pumped out absolute shit at their worst (Never Say Die).

You don't understand. Those four bands were iconic on their own. But the Dead tied the whole thing together. They brought Santana, Airplane, Allmans, Dylan, CSN, dozens of contributors who were great in their own right, onto their stages live. No other band could have those kinds of walk-ons.

Oye Como Va 9/10
Soul Sacrifice 8/10

That's it. No way enough to compete for the top 5.

Zeppelin- no, way overrated. Stones- nope.

Fuck Yeah Sabbath. Iommi is a prolifically influential genius. Worked in a sheet metal factory as a kid in Birmingham, UK. It was loud as fuck beyond imagination in those days with constant hammering and pounding all day long. He took that sound and put it into guitar literally giving birth to heavy metal and indirectly everything that came out of it, thrash, death, industrial, grunge but he could really play anything, jazz too. Not to mention he was gifted with talented musicians around him, perhaps most importantly Geezer on bass.
