ABBA is better than all of them, and the beach boys were better than the beatles

Put down the crack pipe and walk away...

Those five bands are great! I could disagree, but why bother?

All 5 deserving imo. I could swap Kiss with any of them though.

In a just world, The Kinks would be there, they made a lot of great records in the 70s that didn’t get noticed here in the States, like Muswell Hillbillies.

The ONLY metric by which you can judge is No. 1 hits.

That’s it.

Other than that, its just personal taste.

Better than the Beatles!

I did “My Pal Foot-Foot” at karaoke a few weeks ago, and the reaction was exactly what I had hoped for.

“Where did you find THAT?!?!?!?”

LOL

“Van Halen, GnR, both changed rock”

I was fortunate enough to see Van Halen on their very first tour.....they “warmed up” for Black Sabbath of all bands.

Never was much of a Sabbath fan, my buddies and I were there to witness what we heard on Van Halen 1....Eddie’s guitar work.

When Ozzie came on we left.....you could LITTERALY see Rock and Roll as you said being changed right before our eyes.

Eddie Van Halen revolutionized the rock guitar, and rock was changed forever.

I would rank the Rolling Stones Number #1.

The Beatles are my second favorite band, but, I am not sure they qualify as a Rock Band.

Eagles began as a SoCal Country-Rock...but Poco was much, MUCH better.

Eagles changed to a tight bar band (like CCR) playing the same music while lacking in creativity or expanding their repertoire.

Eagles is one of the most overhyped bands in history...

It was killing Ringo not to play live/tour.

A list that does not contain Spinal Tap is invalid.

Who knew?

Beach Boys were a vocal group that utilized the Wrecking Crew to play the instruments in the studio.

Doors and LittleFeat (LG’s version only) should definitely be in the top 10 and ahead of the BeachBoys.
