Azapro911 Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I suppose that rather than a top five 'absolute greatest', my list is done on more of a by-era basis. '60s: The Beatles (greatest studio band of all time and the fathers of album rock) '70s: Led Zeppelin (greatest live band of all time and the masters of album rock) '80s: Def Leppard (they were MILES clear of the rest of the glam metal genre and produced two genuinely classic, near-flawless rock albums, even the 'professional' critics never denied them that) '90s: Nirvana (the band that woke up an entire generation from the dirge of the last days of the hair bands; Cobain had a deceptive sense of humour which never gets recognised) '00s: Green Day (say what you will, American Idiot was the last mainstream rock album that really put the effort in, hence their deserved - in my view - Hall of Fame induction) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zino Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 (edited) Well, talking about favorite names in Jazz & Blues and about recordings made between 1950 to 1965, I would mention Lightnin' Hopkins, John Lee Hooker, John Coltrane, Cannonball Adderley, Thelonious Monk, and Miles Davis. Focussing on the years after 1965, my All-Time-Top-Six-Rock-Acts are: 1.) Captain Beefheart & his Magic Band 2.) The Doors 3.) Rolling Stones 4.) Jefferson Airplane 5.) Country Joe & The Fish 6.) The Who For the late sixties/early seventies, I'm also a great Fan of Folk Rock Bands like Fairport Convention & Steeleye Span, Incredible String Band plus Pentangle. After 1975: Wire, Clash, Joy Division, Fall, Cure, Gun Club, Green on Red, Giant Sand... After 1995: Sixteen Horsepower, White Stripes, Madrugada Edited January 8, 2017 by Zino Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
