Top 50 Rock Bands Of All Time

[Kinky]

So Louder Sounds ran a reader survey to define the top 50 greatest rock bands of all time. The list is quite interesting; and not one I entirely agree with. You can read the top 50 here: https://www.loudersound.com/features/the-50-best-r...

But to save everyone the hassle, here't the list.

50. Roxy Music
49. King Crimson
48. ZZ Top
47. Ramones
46. Journey
45. Cream
44. Motley Crue
43. Rainbow
42. Pearl Jam
41. Marillion
40. Status Quo
39. Uriah Heep
38. Chicago
37. Creedence Clearwater Revival
36. The Doors
35. Lynyrd Skynyrd
34. Slade
33. Bruce Springsteen
32. Tool
31. Fleetwood Mac
30. Nirvana
29. Judas Priest
28. Genesis
27. Motorhead
26. Foo Fighters
25. U2
24. Bon Jovi
23. David Bowie
22. Thin Lizzy
21. Bob Dylan
20. Jimi Hendrix
19. Yes
18. Eagles
17. Aerosmith
16. Kiss
15. Van Halen
14. Def Leppard
13. The Who
12. Guns N' Roses
11. Deep Purple
10. Iron Maiden
9. Metallica
8. The Rolling Stones
7. Black Sabbath
6. The Beatles
5. AC/DC
4. Pink Floyd
3. Rush
2. Queen
1. Led Zeppelin

IMHO, bands missing include, Ozzy, Whitesnake, Pistols, Venom, Television, Budgie, RATM, Offspring, Dio, Tom Petty, The Band, The Clash, Rory Gallagher, Accept, Dire Straits, Black Flag, RHCP, Boomtown Rats. I'm sure I could think of more, but those immediately spring to mind.

But of course, this is a collective list. I'm just really surprised with some of those included and excluded (as per my list above).

So as there's lots of questionable bands on that list, how about we do our own "PHers Top 50 Bands Of All Time"?

I'll start a new thread and outline some guidance

New thread started, which I've stickied so it's easy to find for everyone

I fear it will be very similar with a huge bias to 70/80s soft and prog rock and many alarming mentions of the Who

I suspect so; but they're not on my list
