Pete's Top 30 Favorite Bands of All Time!

[@seaoftranquilityprog]

Just curious about the thumbs down here, and trying to understand why people would give a thumbs down on a video where someone lists his favorite bands of all time? Because I didn't name YOUR favorite band? Last I checked, this show was requested by many, for me to go over my favorites, so I find it hard to comprehend why people would give a thumbs down to an honest, fun discussion of personal favorites....whatever.

You can’t neglect the impact of the releases from your youth even though you don’t play them a lot these days.... today Ive moved into genres like southern and folk rock and even light country stuff.

@@TheMentalblockrock My opinion is very similar. Led Zeppelin was phenomenal all the way through in my opinion. Rush's best work, Hemispheres for example, beats Led Zeppelins best in my opinion. A big portion of their catalog doesn't fit with my taste though, making them second behind Zeppelin

[@TheMentalblockrock]

@@GandalfGreyhame For me Rush's best album has to be "Farewell to Kings" and I agree that probably tops any individual Led Zeppelin album. If Rush had split in 1981 leaving us just the legendary first eight albums...

[@TheMentalblockrock]

@@GandalfGreyhame The big issue for me and Rush is that they didn;t split at or near their peak and from Signals and throughout the rest of the 80's keyboards dominated their sound. This would have been fine in Genesis, Yes or Pink Floyd. The issue is that Geddy is an amazing bass player and singer and a merely passable keyboards player. So they spent four albums basing their songwriting on the weakest instrument in the band. By the Time of "Hold Your Fire". Alex was sidelined for the sake of Geddy's second rate keyboard playing. I stopped buying new Rush albums for this reason.

So proud of you for putting Gentle Giant in there - and so high on the list! Kudos also for Budgie, early Scorpions, King Crimson, Yes, early Genesis, UFO, Uriah Heep. Of course we're gonna have different tastes, but as for your top two I am right there with you. I was 9 years old when Black Night hit the UK charts and I absolutely loved it. It was the first proper hard rock I had ever heard, and I went mad for it. I even ran up my parent's bill calling the '16' hotline to listen to it over and over on the telephone if you can believe that. Of course I was eventually bought the single to add to my pretty impressive collection of 45s. Then a few months later I heard Paranoid at a local youth club disco and that was it. A little later - I think I was 11 years old - I visited a home for 'wayward youth' in Tenterden, Kent, with my American psychiatrist godfather and I was wandering around the grounds while he was in a meeting when I walked past a group of older boys of 16, 17, 18 years old lounging on the lawn and listening to Deep Purple In Rock on a massive sound system - the speakers outside on the grass. I think they were probably smoking hash too - rolled in joints with tobacco and cardboard roaches was the way back then. Anyway, one of them yelled at me - me in my short pants - "Hey Kid, wanna hear some REAL music, well listen to this!" And so I went over to them and said "Deep Purple? Yeah, they're OK, but I prefer Black Sabbath!" and walked off. I was a funny little kid, although maybe they didn't think so.
