Post your top 5 rock bands of all time (https://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=267183)

Based on those I have seen live:

Rush
U2
Pearl Jam
The Police
Rolling Stones

Steely Dan
Pink Floyd
Eagles
Zep
Stones

I see Buck added "put Elvis on your list if you want."

I'd say no, simply because that opens it up to individuals, and you have to include Dylan, Chuck Berry, Little Richard etc.

I probably should've included Steely Dan in honorable mentions. Thought about it.

Nope I get it. It's definitely a personal top 5. Just what I heard my older brother listening to growing up and liked them back in the day.

I loved Def Leppard's first two albums (saw them in Portland on their "High and Dry" tour when I was in high school) but didn't care for their stuff after that. My wife loved "Pour Some Sugar On Me" so I ended up having to suffer through that album for a while. I would have to go back and play "Wasted" to purge it from my brain.

um...The Writ from Sabotage is NOT over-played.

Never Say Die is ****ing VASTLY UNDERRATED.

I would go so far as to say : War Pigs, Iron Man, Paranoid, Sweat Leaf, Changes...basically anything on We Sold Our Souls would be overplayed.

Anything else is amazing...no matter who the singer is, as long as Iommi's riffing it, I'm game.

I picked up Never Say Die and Technical Ecstacy for my son last year and was surprised at how good they are, especially since they seem to be universally hated by fans. There is some weird stuff there but some really good stuff, too. You can also hear the seeds of Blizzard of Ozz in some of the songs.

A lot of people rag on Def Leppard, but I still love them.

Well, I'm 39 and most of those bands were popular when I was in college/my early 20's.

I don't think anyone could judge my age by musical tastes. It's all over the place.
