Classic Rock: Name Your 10 Favorite Bands

Dear god…tell me this is sarcasm.

Well, one of those isn’t technically even a band, it’s just me being narcissistic.

If it makes you happy you can call it sarcasm. It makes me happy, so I do call it sarcasm.

You’ve got to admit that Shakira is an okay singer, though, especially for the genre of music she’s in.

Boston
Kansas
The Who
Rush
Pink Floyd
Collective Soul
Finger 11
Live
Led Zeppelin
Eric clapton

In no particular order:

Whitesnake
Meatloaf
Queen
Guns ‘n’ Roses
Fear Factory
Bryan Adams
REM
U2

Type O Negative

I like shakira, shes hot, she can dance fucking good, and she sings good. I like some of her songs, but i dont think i would ever dowload her or buy a cd or nothing.

If I could download Shakira, I would.

I’m just going to name my top 10.

1.) Nada Surf
2.) Duran Duran
3.) Bad Religion
4.) Deep Blue Something
5.) Flogging Molly
6.) Kansas
7.) Styx

10.) The Cult

This would work better as a hit list.

…oh wait…those aren’t even real bands. But wouldn’t that be cool if they were? I bet you wouldn’t notice the difference.

I don’t want to die.

Why do you want me to die?

Yeah, but what’s the point in shooting an already dead Paris Hilton? Wait, nevermind.

Yeah, haven’t you heard the totally true conspiracy theory that an imposter decided to take her place? The actual Paris wouldn’t be up to this stuff. The actual Paris, in fact, gave away all of her money to charity!

:slight_smile:

Ummm…whatever floats you boat I suppose.
I’d rather listen to the music than faff around with the names.


RUSH
AC DC
QUEEN
THE WHO
STATUS QUO
URIAH HEEP
DEEP PURPLE
JIMI HENDRIX
LED ZEPPELIN
ROLLING STONES

I would say, that my top 10 are the bands that influenced me as a teen in the 80s… the more hippy trippy side of rock, which went well with my burgeoning Art studies and growing sense-of-self. I don’t seem to have liked 70s rock, as I went from the 60s vibe straight into the 80s feels.

I’m on a much different wavelength.

Bread: the inventors of “soft rock” (which to me is astounding - to invent a genre). I’d recommend their album “bread: retrospective”

Other than that (a band who invented a whole entire genre by themselves! (Not derivative)) I’m a 1 hit wonder type of person.

Edit: I thought a little more about this. My favorite Beatles album is “rubber soul”

One enormous band that was left out of all of your lists is the BeeGees!

Before their disco ascension, they’d been making hits for 20 years! The beegees were so overplayed, that radio stations would advertise themselves as a beegee free zone! The beegees thought about this and decided they no longer had a brand name, so they devoted themselves to writing songs for only other artists … and though you might hate them, you’ll certainly love these other songs written by them.

Wham
Stryper
Boy George
Poison
Starship
Air Supply
Ratt
Oingo Boingo
White Snake
Warrant
