I am so going to see Against Me! on monday. :3

led zeppelin
the who
rolling stones
rob zombie
dr. dre
the strokes
the kinks

It's pretty much a sin to put Dr. Dre on a list with some of those names.

Agreed. ><;;

Same here.

i was thinking rob zombie was the sin to put up there.  what has he done?
dre on the other had has put out two of the greatest (rap / hip-hop  i dont know what you call it) albums of all time.  influenced many artists while doing it and sent the genre in new directions each time.  

Ok, Rob Zombie is definetely more than ridiculous. I don't think even he knows what he is doing. Dre, though? I'm not sure you can call what he does 'music'.

Old School!!!
Hendrix Zepplin and the Beatles.

I know this is really old but I searched before making a new thread.

Radiohead, The Beatles, Pavement, The Velvet Underground, Animal Collective

But Radiohead is much much better than most.

Burnt out on Rammstien. Still like a couple songs but i won't be hunting own their discography again.
Still like all the rest.

Def Leppard. I like rock in general but mostly stuff from the 70's and 80's, I feel like that was the golden age of rock.

Looks like there are quite a few people who like Rush here. They're also one of my favourite bands along with Iron Maiden. I really love the old prog stuff like Yes and King Crimson. Ah... that music is cool.

Saw Rush last year, what an amazing show!  Missed out on Iron Maiden this year because no one would go with me and it was on a week night.  King Crimson is great!

My list:

Bob Dylan
Richard Buckner
M83
Neutral Milk Hotel
The National
Lambchop

REO Speedwagon
Green Day
Scorpions
Bon Jovi
Eiffel 65/Bloom 06

You know, since this topic was made back in 2004, my top bands really haven't changed much, with the exception of Sevendust.  My early twenties were weird.  Go ahead and take them off and add Dream Theater.

I always answer Nirvana to this question, but they only had three proper albums and Kurt's been dead for almost twenty years.

Then I think it's Sleater-Kinney, but they broke up a while ago and I didn't really love their last album.

Damn, I don't know. Sometimes I'll like a band for a while and then just stop following them if they make on album I don't like.

Lynyrd Skynyrd
Clutch
Creedence Clearwater Revival
AC/DC
Deep Purple
Judas Priest
Iron Maiden
Jimi Hendrix
Cream
ZZ Top

I could really keep going on and on, but I don't wanna take 14 full web pages.

Saw Hank3 play with Rev Horton Heat several years ago at a small venue. Had a few beers and talked with him for a bit after his set.

I've never caught one of his shows.. One of the few I'd actually get excited for.

Metallica (All-time personal favorite)
Megadeth
Annihilator
Iron Maiden

Down
Children of Bodom
Arch Enemy
Opeth
Zakk Wylde / Black Label Society

And some stuff way out of left field given the list above:
Tom Waits (love his early jazz/blues piano work, also a lot of his rock and folk influenced songs, not a big fan of his more 'experimental' work though)
Elton John (really like some of his stuff)
Garth Brooks (used to be a big fan when I was kid, before discovering rock/metal.  still like some of his songs)

I also like a lot of classic rock (CCR, Bob Seger, etc.) but never really go out of my way to listen to it

Waits "Black Rider" is a great album that I still listen to from time to time. His stuff can be hit or miss, but the good stuff is great.

Elton is a surprise on your list, considering the other bands you mentioned previously. Good for you for putting him on there. I think some of his later stuff got a little sappy, but his early work is amazing. People tend to write him off and not give him enough credit for being a really talented writer and musician. I saw him a few years ago with Billy Joel, great show.

I made a point once to make a list, so when I said stupid stuff like "definitely one of my top 10 bands of all time" I could be consistent about it. My list, in no particular order, is:

Nine Inch Nails
R.E.M.
Michael Jackson
Ryan Adams
Porcupine Tree
Radiohead
They Might Be Giants
The Beatles
Jars of Clay
Soul Coughing

I have weird taste in music.

Yeah, I agree 100% about Waits' music being hit or miss.  Every song I hear by him is pretty much 'love it or hate it'.

I'm not really that familiar with Elton John's music, but I'm pretty sure the only songs I really listen to are his older ones.  Anytime I think about his newer stuff, I always think of the soundtrack to the Lion King.  No thanks....

I'll throw a list up here. In no order some bands I enjoy include.
Blink 182
New Found Glory
MxPx
Fall Out Boy(earlier version)
All American Rejects
Hatebreed
Korn(first 2 albums)
Limp Bizkit( 1st album)
Incubus
Sugar Ray
Bush
Green Day
Reel Big Fish
Zebrahead
Four Year Strong

And many others.

I discovered Opeth about 2 years ago and they have rapidly become one of my favorite bands.  Blackwater Park rightfully gets a lot of praise as their best album, but I fell in love with Ghost Reveries.  I'd easily put that into my top ten albums of all time.

Opeth is an amazing band.  I discovered them several years ago, and they were one of my top favorites for a couple of years.  I don't listen to them nearly as much as I used to though.  Blackwater Park and Ghost Reveries are both excellent albums, but I've always been partial to My Arms, Your Hearse.  I still haven't listened to their latest album.

couple favourite:

Beatles
Bruce Springsteen
Coheed & Cambria
Craig's Brother
Damien Rice
DieRadioDie
Dire Straits
Electric Light Orchestra
Elliott
Further Seems Forever
Inspection 12
The Juliana Theory
Mae
Propagandhi
Queen
Sigur Ros
Sleeping at Last
Thrice

Springsteen's "Nebraska" might be in my Top 10 if I ever had to make a list. Really dig Sigur Ros and yeah, ELO is great; my favortie band from that era might be Supertramp though. :)

actually never looked into them, only ever heard the few songs i got to play in rock band/guitar hero. too bad that whole market died, it helped introduce a lot of people to classic rock.

I don't really listen to a lot of "bands".  But I came across this band called Allah-Las a while ago and had never heard of them. I aquired their self titled album and it is one of the few albums I have ever been able to listen to start to finish. I find my self just throwing on the whole album instead of a playlist lately. I Highly recommend checking them out. Very chill laidback  rock music.
