Feeder anyone? No one else like them?

 

[Cale]

Never heard of 'em.

 

[a6m5]

I think they are British, damnnear an unknown in the States. I think one of their songs were featured in Gran Turismo....

 

[Smallhorses]

I'm not really a fan of heavier rock, and definitely not metal, so my picks definitely have an Alternative / Indie slant to them.

1. They Might Be Giants
2. The Charlatans (UK, if you must distinguish.)
3. Pink Floyd
4. The Stone Roses
5. Jimi Hendrix
6. Feeder
7. The Who

Does no-one ever bother reading the first post of a thread before diving in with their contributions?

Not in any particular order :

So my list is (in no particular order):

No order.

This is the request in post #1:

Ok, we're going to try to get the VH1 poll right. List your top 20 rock bands of all time in order from 1-20.

 

[Cap'n Jack]

Here's my top 20. Until the last 2-3 years of my life I was a bit of a snob for anything which wasn't punk rock, which explains the punk bias in my list. I'm actually very surprised to see a lack of love for The Clash.

1. The Clash
2. Bob Dylan
3. Bad Religion
4. Dead Kennedys
5. Bright Eyes
6. The Stooges
7. The Libertines
8. Sublime
9. Queens of the Stone Age
10. Operation Ivy
11. Rage Against the Machine
12. David Bowie
13. Sex Pistols
14. The Strokes
15. The Velvet Underground
16. Bad Brains
17. Millencolin
18. Rancid
19. Blur
20. Franz Ferdinand

 

[Ardius]

1. Iron Maiden
2. Rush
3. The Beatles
4. Queen
5. The Who
6. Van Halen
7. Judas Priest
8. Beach Boys
9. Thin Lizzy
10. The Stone Roses
11. Jimi Hendrix Experience
12. Jethro Tull
13. Deep Purple
14. Black Sabbath
15. Led Zeppelin
16. Pink Floyd
17. Bolt Thrower
18. Emperor
19. Jane's Addiction
20. Blue Oyster Cult

Basically just a list of bands I like really, added some variety near the end with Bolt Thrower (death metal) and Emperor (black metal).
Mostly hard rock focused, as a member of the Maiden fanclub, its kind of my duty to put them number 1 .
I'm a little shocked The Beach Boys are not on the list but the Beatles are....

 

[astrosdude91]

Very few people seem to have U2 on their list. Why no love for U2?

 

[Ardius]

Because its the top 100, not the top million .

 

[Adamgp]

I got some free time so I might as well make a list. As you can probably tell by the list, I prefer mostly older stuff. To me, music for the most part died around 1990 when (IMO) it became less about the music and more about the singers/bands images.

I tried to put these in order:

1. Roy Orbison
2. The Four Seasons
3. Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band
4. The Beatles
5. The Beach Boys
6. REO Speedwagon
7. U2
8. R.E.M.
9. Journey
10. Foriegner
11. Meat Loaf
12. The Eagles
13. Elvis
14. Paul McCartney
15. Badfinger
16. Buddy Holly and the Crickets
17. Rolling Stones
18. Bruce Springsteen
19. Creedence Clearwater Revival
20. Linda Rondstadt

Yup, they're British, and they've had many songs in Gran Turismo games.
