Note: At this point, if you put a band as your number 1 pick, it will make the list.
 
Does it have to be a band as the title suggests? Is it OK to vote for artists like Elvis, Van Morrison?

Great idea though danoff, at least now we don't have to piss and moan about how the list sucks, since we're the ones making it.
 
===================================================
I have scored up to here
(this is mostly for my own reference later, I'll do this every time I update)
 
  1. Pink Floyd
  2. The Doors
  3. Who / The Who
  4. Led Zeppelin
  5. Guns 'N Roses
  6. Jimi Hendrix (he deserves a high spot primarily for his influence on rock)
  7. Deep Purple
  8. Black Sabbath
  9. Judas Priest
  10. The Eagles
  11. Dream Theater
  12. Soundgarden
  13. Tool
  14. Rush
  15. Mars Volta
  16. Pearl Jam
  17. Alice in Chains
  18. Joe Satriani
  19. Dredg (haven't been along for long, but they have an unforgettable sound)
  20. Red Hot Chili Peppers

I believe that Public Enemy deserves something like the #10 spot, but they don't fit this topic since they're old school hip-hop.

I had a lot of trouble with the top 10. Pink floyd is my personal #1 band/musician of all time so that was easy. Picking bands after that however, wasn't.

slackbladder that is a cool picture of Pink Floyd, what did you think of them getting back together again? I thought it was great! Roger Waters sounded a little ruff, but it was great. I hated it when they were singing there last song and those stupid a$$ VJ's from MTV jumped in and started talking about the purpose of the show. :banghead:
I wish they would have sang that song from the album called Meddle, called Fearless. I think it is one of the greatest songs ever put on record.
