PHers Top 50 Bands Of All Time

[Kinky]

So following on from the (questionable) Top 50 rock bands of all time list ( https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&...), I'm proposing that we have a PHers Top 50 bands of All Time list.

Guidance, as I see it, as follows:

1. Post one response,in this thread, listing a maximum of your top 10 bands
2. To keep it simple, there's no order of preference, so your first and last bands listed will be treated equally
3. Any kind of music goes, from any era and genre; they don't need to be 'Rock', even in the vaguest sense (ref the thread linked above)
4. Solo artists should be considered separately to their respective band (in that Ozzy is Ozzy, Dio is Dio and Black Sabbath are Black Sabbath)
5. Any more than 10, or multiple posts will be ignored; so 10 or less bands only please
6. If you subsequently edit your post to change a band, it's probable that I'll miss your revision

I'll collate all the responses and will post up an ongoing Top 50 PHers chart Obviously it'll take quite a few responses to have a sensible top 50.

So go fill yer boots one and all

Here's my 10 (yup, I even counted them)

AC/DC
Led Zeppelin
Metallica
Bob Dylan
Ozzy
Pink Floyd
Black Sabbath
Mama's Boys
Accept
Motorhead

Solo artists are still a band. And some will be in the top 50 .... Ozzy and Dio immediately spring to mind.

Drumroll please ..........

We have the 1st PHers Top 50 bands. But before we get into the details; here's some background info:

• 51 PHers votes have been counted (so far)
• A total of 494 votes were counted
• Covering 227 bands
• For people who multiple-posted or posted more than 10, only the 1st 10 on the 1st post counted
• Where bands share a ranking, they are simply sorted alphabetically
• I'm only showing 48 bands, as its conveniently where the bands with 3 votes got to
• I'll update this list every few days/weeks (depending on number of inputs).

So here were go ......

Fine work

Seems a decent list and can’t argue with many names (apart from the bloody Who but that’s personal taste)

Fully agreed on The Who

In my own personal top 10, only 4 made it to the latest (to date) top 10

Only 1 of mine made top 10

Adam, I just looked at your 10 ..... we have 0 in common

The Rolling Stones seem to be listed at No.9 & No.23, giving them 13 votes...

I thought I'd caught all variations of them. I'll correct that tonight and will re-post.

Drumroll please .......... V2

I see what happened with the 1st one .... my machine crashed as I was half-way through summarising the data; and I restored the wrong version, so had excluded the amalgamated list I had already done!

Anyway, here we go ....... with slightly tweaked numbers
