JKennedy87: Best Classic Rock Bands

Aids 09.10.09	This list shine and sparkle better if Pink Floyd was number 1 and Rolling Stones and Van Halen were absent. Like Van Halen even counts as "classic rock" anyway. Good list.
Yotimi 09.10.09	If you personally don't like the Beatles, you have no business making this list.
JKennedy87 09.10.09	i have all the business makign it sicne the Beatles are more of a pop band. Let Me Hold Your Hand, All YOu Need is Love, those sound like Justin Timberlake songs, bite me
Yotimi 09.10.09	OK well then you need to listen to their later stuff. Try Revolver, Sgt Peppers, and Abbey Road. It's completely different from their older albums that were very simplistic pop songs.
JKennedy87 09.10.09	I've listened to them...I just never got in to them. I still respect what they did for the music which is why they are still in top 5.
thebbqshrimp 09.10.09	"Aerosmith -- Most number 1 hits of any bands ever I believe" Definitely not.
Inveigh 09.10.09	I agree that the Beatles are a pop band with the exception of Rubber Soul, White Album and Abbey Road. Revolver and Sgt. Peppers were still pop IMO. Pretty good list, but yeah, Pink Floyd should be top two with The Who. It also seems like you were reaching with Journey and Van Halen.. If we're considering those classic rock then I would have at least replaced one of them with U2 or something. Pretty good list though.
thebbqshrimp 09.10.09	Van Halen and Journey should be replaced with Cream and Supertramp.
AnotherBrick 09.10.09	move pink floyd to number 1, drop out stones, bruce, and police list fails for no black sabbath
Inveigh 09.10.09	Oooh, good call on the Cream and Supertramp!
JKennedy87 09.10.09	Black Sabbath is more metal then classic rock imo
JKennedy87 09.10.09	how is everyone saying drop the Stones?? There the best rock n roll band to ever live
Inveigh 09.10.09	yeah, I have no idea why anyone would be saying drop the Stones off this list. They deserve a top 3 spot easily.
JKennedy87 09.10.09	to thebbqshrimp: "Aerosmith also holds several chart and album sales feats, including the second highest number of number one singles on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart for a group with nine." Damn I was close lol
AnotherBrick 09.10.09	lmao seriously? the best rock n roll band ever? man they wouldnt make my top 500
JKennedy87 09.10.09	so your telling me you can name 500 bands better than them...ok go i'll sit here and wait for you to come up with 500 bands better because its not possible. Shit come up with 10 bands you consider better then them and watch everyone on here have a field day with your opinion.
thebbqshrimp 09.10.09	I'm with you 'bout the Stones, JKennedy. I probs wouldn't have 'em as #1, but they most certainly belong on this list. And as for your Aerosmith correction, big difference between #2 all-time on the Mainstream Rock Charts and "Most #1 hits of any band ever" lol.
JKennedy87 09.10.09	lol I got you, that was a huge typo lol
AnotherBrick 09.10.09	10 bands better then the stones? i'll just stick to more classics Pink Floyd Led Zeppelin (i would consider these guys the best rock n roll band of all time) Rush The Doors The Beatles Aerosmith The Who Jimi Hendrix King Crimson Yes
JKennedy87 09.10.09	You didn't...you really didn't just say Yes, Rush, and King Crimson are better than the Stones did you?? Saying Yes is better then the Stones is pure stupidity. The only bands I can see on your list that you could even argue are: Pink Floyd Zeppelin The Who thats it.
AnotherBrick 09.10.09	Rush > Stones
EVedder27 09.10.09	i agree with a lot of this. although I personally don't like Aerosmith
JKennedy87 09.10.09	Rush isn't even close. Sorry but its not even close. I enjoy Rush but I am pretty sure everyone on here(except you obviously) would say the stones destroy Rush. Rush has never wrote a album as good as Sticky Fingers, or Exile on Mainstreet.
JKennedy87 09.10.09	shit rush's greatest hits album isn't even better then Exile On Main Street
Tits McGee 09.10.09	I would say my favorites for classic rock are Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, The Beatles, CCR, and Led Zeppelin. I like Boston alot too lolll
Plinkertons 09.10.09	Where the fuck is Queen on this list?
JKennedy87 09.10.09	Queen is also one of my favorites, not gonna lie, matter of fact I am gonna take off The Police for them
Yotimi 09.10.09	I agree that there are plenty better than the Stones too.
Yotimi 09.10.09	Beatles, The Kinks, Led Zeppelin, Hendrix, CCR, Pink Floyd, The Who, Queen, Doors, King Crimson, Velvet Underground - all better than The Rolling Stones.
JKennedy87 09.10.09	Beatles, The Kinks, Led Zeppelin, Hendrix, CCR, Pink Floyd, The Who, Queen, Doors, King Crimson, Velvet Underground. The Kinks are terrible. I'm sorry but that band sucks. Hendrix has plenty of good songs but its nowhere near the amount the Stones have. Queen, same thing. King Crimson and Velvet Underground..seriously get a cat-scan.
FadeToBlack 09.10.09	look people have different opinions; if you don't like the idea, don't post a list in the first place
JKennedy87 09.10.09	I have no problem hearing other people's opinion, I'm not arguing with anyone, its not like any of us are yelling back and forth at each other we are just a couple dudes(or ladies) talking music.
AnotherBrick 09.10.09	agreed with yotimi lol i'd take any of those bands over stones
JKennedy87 09.10.09	Well i disagree with you guys
Plinkertons 09.10.09	1.) Queen 2.) The Beatles 3.) The Who 4.) Pink Floyd 5.) Led Zeppelin
Yotimi 09.10.09	Did you really just tell me to get a Cat-scan for Velvet Underground? I guess you don't realize their importance. The Kinks are terrible? They are one of the few great bands that are outside of the Beatles influence but never get any credit for it. Plus, they pretty much invented punk music with their hit "You really got me". If you're going to mock, at least have a basis for your mocking.
Bandido 09.10.09	Deep Purple? I know "Smoke On The Water" has been beat to death but all of those guys are pioneers on their instruments. Check out the album Deep Purple In Rock if you don't believe me. And I agree that the Stones are #1
MyNameIsJed 09.10.09	Really, The Who is only on there because of thier live performance? Pete Townshend is one of the greatest songwriters of all time. They have what are considered by many the best bassist and drummer. (Not saying they are, just saying a lot of people think that.) And Roger's doesn't really stand out in there early stuff, but with the later stuff it really shines, especially on Love Reign O'er Me. The Who deserves atleast top five.
JKennedy87 09.11.09	I didn't really find The Who incredible till I saw them live thats all I was saying
Gyromania 09.11.09	"I personally don't like the Beatles, I don't think there Rock N Roll but because of sheer influence on the rest of the music world they deserve to be in the top 5" um... they're a pop band. great list though. 1, 4, 7, 8 and 9
Gyromania 09.11.09	erm, 2 and 3 as well are excellent.
Streetvulture 09.11.09	how the fuck do you compare Yes and The Rolling Stones? doesn't make any sense at all.
Bfhurricane 09.11.09	Good list. I don't know if the Stones deserve No. 1, but they're definitely up there. Zeppelin's Physical Graffiti is my favorite classic rock album. Great call on CCR. My friends and I had their greatest hits playing during some poker last weekend.
Nagrarok 09.11.09	This list has a serious need of Deep Purple.
JKennedy87 09.11.09	Streetvulture THANK YOU! I was asking this guy the same thing, they shouldn't even be said in the same breath. Gyro thanks for your input, I know they are pop lol, I was saying some people are retarded and call them the greatest rock n roll band of all time when they aren't. BF CCR's greatest hits is amazing, you really forget how many good songs they had until you pop in the GH album. Nagra Deep Purple has one really good song, the rest of their catalog is average at best.
Streetvulture 09.11.09	i mean that theyre incomparable because theyre such different bands not because one is so obviously better than the other btw
Gyromania 09.11.09	lol, thanks for clarifying.
JKennedy87 09.11.09	and the fact the Stones destroy Yes
Streetvulture 09.11.09	wasnt really aimed at you but no problem anytime
Streetvulture 09.11.09	stones cant destroy yes just like football cant destroy icecream
Yotimi 09.11.09	Football totally destroys ice cream.
samr4563 09.11.09	Bruce Springsteen higher than Jimi Hendrix and The Who? Really? Bruce Springsteen on the list is enough, but come on...
JKennedy87 09.11.09	lol I know overall the Who and Hendrix are probably better but I love the Boss lol
Streetvulture 09.11.09	"Football totally destroys ice cream." so true fuck icecream bro
JKennedy87 09.11.09	hey I like ice cream, and its always good. football is only good when your team is winning lol, like if your a Lions fan you fucking hate football lol. But I will still say Football destroys Ice cream. also if you dont think Springsteen should be on it go listen to his live cd 1975-1985 and tell me he doesnt deserve to be high on the list.
Streetvulture 09.11.09	i was talking about real football but yeh
MyNameIsJed 09.11.09	The Who still deserves to be a lot higher. Quadrophenia is an amazing album.
