Very hard to pick your top 10 favorite bands of all time ... in no particular order for me is Genesis (early with Gabriel and Hackett), Jethro Tull, PFM, Banco, the Kinks, the Who, Van der Graaf Generator, Pink Floyd, Camel and Todd Rundgren (with and without Utopia). My 11 - 15 bands are currently King Crimson, Steely Dan, Supertramp, Dead Can Dance and Goblin.

Here’s my top 10…3 to 10 subject to change at a moments notice :) 1. The Rolling Stones (these guys have been my favorite since I was about 12, don’t think they can ever be unseated) 2. The Grateful Dead (my favorite American band, by far) 3. The Who (Pete Townshend is as good of a songwriter as anyone, ever) 4. Genesis (mostly the Gabriel Era, but I like a lot of the Phil lead stuff also…and a great, great live band all around) 5. Led Zeppelin (Can easily come in higher in my ranking, depends on the day….Jimmy Page my favorite hard rock guitar player of all time) 6. Yes (Saw them live the most of any band - along with maybe the Dead in all their various configurations - not a real big fan of their later albums but love, love, love the classics…including Drama !) 7. Black Sabbath (My favorite “heavy band”, but mostly the Ozzy period) 8. The Allman Brothers (2nd favorite American band, definitely my favorite Southern Rock band of all time) 9. The Beatles (I was always a little wary of them - due to them being almost unanimously chosen as the # 1 British Invasion Band to the Stones # 2 - so I came a little late to the party with them…but, hey: Can’t deny their enormous influence and staggering talent, so they really have to be on any classic rock music lovers top 10) 10. Jethro Tull (These guys moved way up in my ranking: Listened to them a lot when I was younger, forgot about them for a while but rediscovered their greatness very recently….Martin Barre is perhaps the most underrated guitarist in classic rock, and Ian Anderson is a phenomenal and prolific songwriter) Honorable mentions: Pink Floyd, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Mountain, ELP, Kiss….

Supreme musicianship.) 5)Rush (The screaming seventies material was perfection... the later material not as good but still great.) 6)Black Sabbath (the 1st two albums were a great 1 2 punch of doom metal) 7)Deep Purple (Amazing musicianship and one of the greatest Rock lead vocalist's in Ian Gillan.) 8)The Doors (Another great example of a band playing Rock and Blues with their own unique style.) 9) Jimi Hendrix (Incredible amount of output in such a small span of time) 10) Creedance Clearwater Revival (Another great Band with that unique sound.)

Doing this as *artists "and" bands* with their most essential era in parenthesis, if 'needed': 1. DAVID BOWIE 2. BLACK SABBATH ('70-'83) 3. AC/DC ('74-'83) 4. BEATLES 5. KISS ('73-'83) 6. LED ZEPPELIN 7. ROLLING STONES ('65-'81) 8. PINK FLOYD ('67-'79) 9. THE CURE ('78-'92) 10. FRANK ZAPPA Hard to make this list. And there are a good 40 others that come to mind. But doing this quickly....and because I already do this kind of thing with an old friend of mine, I was able to rattle off this essential 10 kind of easily. I so wanted to get The WHO, 70s ZZ TOP, 70s Aerosmith, 70s Queen, MKII Deep Purple, Steely Dan ('72-'77) Budgie, Kansas, 70s Elton John, Jeff Beck, JP '76-'84, B.O.C., Thin Lizzy, 70s ELO, 70s UFO, James Brown, Kate Bush, The Kinks and Yes in there, but I didn't want to cheat with any "ties" and I'm good with my list. *Bowie, Black Sabbath and AC/DC* are cemented Top 3. While, #4 The Beatles (& #7 Stones) have been omnipresent since I was born (always in the ether, and for good reason) and man, I'm just as passionate and in love with "70s" KISS now as I was when I got my first Kiss Army Pack in 1976 🔥 In general, I think any in your Top 10 need to be an *artist who really changed and overwhelmed your life* Like, there was me before this artist, then me after. And if you're a musician, how much did they influence and inspire you So there are many many...many others of strong consideration, but hey, I only get 10 here, and that's my Top 10 up there. ROCK ON, Marc ⚡

Hey, thanks very much! Appreciate you taking the time for the compliment. I always have been a bit eclectic about my love of rock 'n roll, and my playing in general as well. I do think eclecticism is a good thing with music. Keeps you a little more enthusiastic & unpredictable with an open mind. Allows you to be even more spontaneous and ready for anything, whether in listening/appreciation or in playing/writing. Again, it was difficult to do just 10, when there are so many, but when it comes right down to it, these are the ones who most overwhelmed, influenced, inspired and changed my life.

Doors - dangerous and led me John Lee Hooker 4. Janes Addiction - simply cleansed my 80’s hair band trap forever. 5. Dinosaur Jr - loudest shows ever. 6. Fu Manchu - Brant Bjork era drums post-Kyuss break up are so heavy and California cool that it took me back to early Sabbath catalog 7. Allman Brothers Band - sweetest dual leads that lead me to all dual guitar attacks - maiden, thin lizzy, 8. John Lee Hooker - true spirit of blues in rock. His 60s catalog is so brooding and deep 9. Rush - got back into vinyl two years ago. Read Martins books in the order I acquired their albums on vinyl. Just a special trip for me as a Canadian and relating to their immigrant experience and Neils travel books. Just love this band more than I ever did as a kid. 10. Miles Davis - from Tony Williams era on thru 75. Live or Studio. Mind. Blown. 11. Zappa - once I figured out Davis. Zappa from Hot Rats onward is genius.

I share the love for many of your choices! My list: 1. Iron Maiden: Unthreatened nr 1. Aside from their 90s albums, which I don't like that much, I consider them to have a flawless discography. 2. Judas Priest: Unthreatened nr 2. They have a handful of albums that aren't that strong (Nostradamus is NOT one of them!), but their importance to me is hard to deny and most of their albums are great! 3. Black Sabbath: They have always been a top 5 band for me, but the Tony Martin albums have helped them to take the 3rd place. 4. Rush: Rush have risen a lot for me in recent times. It's my go to if I'm need of some sophisticated, thoughtful music. 5. Dream Theater: The only band that have been able to threaten Maiden for the first place. I've calmed down to them in recent times though. Still adore them! 6. Genesis: Probably my favorite band if you only take the peak period into consideration. The 80s albums (Abacab onwards) lower them on the list. 7. Opeth: I'm hit or miss on their progressive rock albums, but their mid-period is unparalleled IMO. 8. AC/DC: Pure nostalgia. They have been a constant in my life and I always go to them if I'm in need of something fun and uplifting. 9. Pink Floyd: There is something magical about their peak period that few bands can match IMO. I can see them rise on the list, but Ummagumma and the post-Waters albums hold them back. 10. Metallica: Pure nostalgia. I can see them leave the list sooner or later, but the importance of their first 4 albums holds them on the list for me. I'm still young though, and I'm only in the initial phase of my musical journey. There are a lot of bands that I can see appear on the list with time. Some of these bands are Jethro Tull, Megadeth, Deep Purple, King Crimson, Thin Lizzy, Motörhead and Uriah Heep.

@@Renegade8652 thanks, yes it is awesome considering I haven’t been charged up about a music group since the 90’s!! And having something fun and “light” to explore while injured and dealing with rehab and sleepless nights is very helpful! To answer your question, I’m the same as you-the 70’s are by the far the best with the Dio albums coming in a distant 2’d. listenable and rocking but can’t hold a candle to the best 4 of the first albums. I’m stunned I can find music this good again at my age! Many thanks to Pete and Martin. I’m guessing you haven’t seen them live with Ozzy, have you?
