But to me, 'the Beatles' went through 5 extremely different phases, and as a result can almost sound like 5 different bands : 1. early days - fast swinging 'beat' rock and roll w/huge soul/Motown influence on ballads...lots of 'boy-meets-girl' lyrics. (1962-64) 2. middle period - marked by more lyrical and instrumental experimentation; transitional period, but progressive (1965) 3. Psychedelia - complete sonic and aesthetic overhaul; music was in black and white before; the Beatles made it in technicolor with Revolver and Sgt. Pepper. Orchestral, hall, jazzy flairs, eastern influence - a complete and total synthesis of every existing type of music on earth. 4. The soloists - (1968) - for the White Album, they worked on each song almost as a 'solo performer' with a backing band. Stripped of psychedelic trappings, earnest and raw, again reaching heights no one before had attained. Hey Jude and Revolution date from this period, as do Lady Madonna and Old Brown Shoe. The first (and superior) Across the Universe dates from this period. 5. The End - where they finally coalessed into a complete whole one last time to make the grand definitive statement in Abbey Road. They had never sounded better, before or since, either together or apart. So, to me...'their sound' is a bit of a misnomer; they were very broad. |
Guns N' Roses
Pearl Jam Metallica AC Red Hot Chili Peppers |

Outta Space, Blood and Fire - those are my two favorites from the album. |

You could throw 'Bon Jovi' on there as well, but I refuse to consider them an actual band at this point...they're just an aberration that I will not acknowledge. Like the Stay-Puft Marshmallow man...if you don't think about it, it doesn't exist. |

It's just too long; drop a couple of the 'filler' somgs and you'd have the classic 39-42 min DLR-fronted VH album. Which is good enough for me. |

Except every band you listed is actually great. see, if you just don't listen to classic rock radio and listen to the ALBUMS by Sabbath, Zep, Floyd, the Who, Skynyrd, et al, you get past the BS songs that the radio format shoves down a person's throat, and you get the whole picture and can truly appreciate their greatness. On the flip side, as a kid I was exposed to repeated spins of Journey Escape and Captured and Departure, REO's Can't Tune A Piano,Cheap Trick's Dream Police & Budokan, foreinger's 4 (**** Mutt Lange, btw), Styx Kilroy and Grand Illusion, etc. I've heard ALL that shit. Styx SUCKS. Dennis DeYoung is ****ing ANNOYING. His voice is nails on a chalkboard, personafied. Plus, all the Foreigners, REOs, Journeys, Bostons, etc sonically SOUND the same - cut from the same 70s AOR cookie-cutter cloth. Not only can you really not tell the difference from album to album, even band to band. Conversely, Pink Floyd's Animals sounds NOTHING like Meddle. At all. Led Zeppelin III and Presence sound like different ****ing BANDS. The Who Sell Out and Who's Next both sound radically different from Who Are You or It's Hard. Sabbath's Never Say Die is a far cry from their first record...and the raw, rocking Queen II is a far cry from the productions of Jazz or News Of the World. |

My god there's some terrible taste in here.
Korn? Foreigner? yes??? How about you all go into your Itunes and look up your most played bands. See what actually comes up. |
Alice in Chains
System of a Down Incubus Tool Tenacious D |
This is the whitest collection of bands since the 1943 Lollapalooza in Berlin.

Yes was AWESOME, say 1970-1985. I have that 0u890210 LIVE - The Solos album; Trevor Rabin was actually a badass on guitar, and anything with Steve Howe is ****ing amazing. Chris Squire and Alan White are one of rock's most pre-eminent rhythm sections EVER. Anyone who talks shit on them doesn't know what they're talking about. Korn and Foreigner, on the other hand, are ****ing God-awful, and anyone who listens to them...I feel sorry for. You should like yourself more. |

true, but they became more of a funk/soul band. See, if we're gonna go there, I'll bring out Funkadelic, ya know?? Just for Maggot Brain and Mommy, What's a Funkadelic ALONE. |

for some people, sure. The prog rock crowd, for People who are down with Rush, King Crimson and especially early Genesis, Yes is absolutely a top 5 band. Yes was everything that was good about prog rock... |

Sure, there are black rock bands, though I doubt anyone would put them top 5, because none of them happen to be as good as a lot of others. TV on the Radio comes to mind. You COULD argue for Otis Redding. My top five, to allow for ridicule: 1. Led Zeppelin 2. Rolling Stones 3. Pearl Jam 4. Alice in Chains 5. Radiohead |

Satellite radio is the devil. I hate around 3000 vinyl records, around 40,000 CDs and abot 5TBs of everything you can name : classical, jazz, rock, pop, punk, soul, blues, etc. Everything in analog or FLAC format. Mp3s are for little girls to listen to dance music on their ipods. Shit-tons of live recordings and studio outtakes, etc. Bootlegs are my shit. I've taken it to such an extreme that anything commercially available is considered pedestrian. I laugh at Satellite radio, because it sounds like dogshit. |
Quote:
But I put them in my honorable mention because of their technical ability (Steve Howe, Chris Squire, Bill Bruford, Alan White and Rick Wakeman are/were gifted musicians), their long-term success and their influence. For good or bad, their virtuoso musicianship combined with vocal harmonies influenced many 70s and 80s bands (Boston, Styx, Kansas, Foreigner, etc.) |

I've been trying to get into newer music, mostly because if I never hear "Hotel California" again for as long as I live, it won't be soon enough.
I've discovered a band called Alt-J (the Mac shortcut for typing the Greek letter Delta). Just one album so far, and most of the songs aren't like this, but the tool crowd might enjoy hearing the (light) influence: <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/5Iu8_lV275o" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> |

Now I'm gonna have to go put on "Space Ritual Live." In case of sonic attack, use your wheels. It is what they are for. Small babies may be placed inside the special cocoons. |
In no particular order....
1) The Clash 2) U2 3) Cheap Trick 4) Talking Heads 5) Velvet Underground I hate Led Zeppelin, Rush, Yes, Rolling Stones, that flute band and other crap from that era/genre for the most part. Flame away. |

In no particular order:
1. Jefferson Airplane/Jefferson Starship (This DOES NOT include "Starship") 2. Styx 3. REO Speedwagon 4. Paul McCartney & Wings (This DOES NOT include Paul's non-Wings solo garbage) 5. Anything with Eric Clapton |
The correct answer is:
Van Halen Aerosmith AC/DC ZZ Top Led Zep |

It's really hard to come up with a top 5 list because it depends on what mood I'm in. Sometimes my list might include 80's alternative like Guadalcanal Diary and REM. Other times it will be classic rock or 80's NWOBHM like Holocaust or Angelwitch. Lately, I've been on kind of a 70's kick and have been picking up stuff that I didn't use to like as much, like Neil Young or CCR.
I have a half full 160g iPod and I usually just have it on random so don't really favor one band over another. |

In the order that I recall listening to them:
1. Van Halen 2. Ozzy 3. Iron Maiden 4. Metallica 5 is tough, toss-up between NIN and Jane's Addiction. |
