Zdena Gabaľová yeah i think what it is is that rhythm sections are often more hired gun types so they often play in many bands but arent key players. though you could argue a modern example like Zach Hill from Hella, transitioning into playing with Marnie Stern, Wavves and then founding Death Grips. its more about core members/songwriters and i dont think Cameron really counts since he never really defined the bands he was a part of. i didnt know about The Prodigy thing though!! thats fucking sick!

All off Maynard's bands are successful I watched this whole thing thinking they were going to show him smh

[@1968yearofmetal]

Where the f is Corey Taylor?

[@ECMalcolm]

Nah, he can stay.

[@alexmarenco2399]

I think they dont consider him because Stone Sour isnt that famous. I mean the only huge mainstream project he has ever been in is pretty much Slipknot.

[@mattbailey8197]

Alex Marenco SS is pretty popular but it's still bullshit that he's not on the list like come on WatchMojo

[@nonameavailable12]

What I think makes Corey more impressive is the timeline. Two completely independent bands, not one that got famous from a solo act or a super group, that had success simultaneously to the point that Corey was the lead singer competing against himself for a Grammy in 2003. Having 8 nominations in a 7 year span.

[@bigstacksbruce6040]

a better question, WHERE IN THE HELL IS MAYNARD JAMES KEENAN

[@GWh135]

I mean, Corey Taylor?

DAMON ALBARN!!!

[@stevenpapuchis9677]

Wow, an internet top 10 list that I can absolutely agree on. Being a huge Uber Blackmore fan I was surprised to see him on the list, maybe an honorable mention would have been more suspected. But after thinking about it, his eclectic style demonstrating hard rock, neo classical metal, speed metal, blues, commercial rock and folk, then bringing up to the levels that he did, I can see why he is on that list..agreed also on Clapton being #1, Dio Groll, Paige and McCartney on the list too. Very well done!

[@drkirbkennethkirby7634]

No Maynard James Keenan? Arguably enjoyed more success than half of this list....

[@katielancaster6376]

Who would argue that. Maynard is a freaking GENIUS!!!!

[@TranHoangMinh289]

Is he good? Yes. Enjoyed more success than half of the list? No.

[@silverness320]

he is still enjoying success. Tool and Perfect Circle are STILL TOURING, with a nice following. Had multiple hit songs with both bands....I believe that's what makes it count. Plus he was the lead singer (like Chris Cornell or one of those)

[@CareyMorris]

You didn't even mention Puscifer. How???

[@DaniCalifornia_x]

I came to see if someone mentioned Maynard and I am glad to see this. Def one of the best front men and one of my personal favorite singers.

[@invaderjae]

Mike Patton is in Faith No More, Mr. Bungle, Tomahawk, Lovage, Peeping Tom, and Fantomas. As well as doing video game music. I know he's not as well known. But he's one of the best singers of the last 30+ years.

[@slanch7824]

Maynard Keenan???

[@TheAfterHoursLV]

Slanch - The only (living) band I like as much as Queens of the Stone Age is Tool. That being said...I think as far as songwriting, Maynard is the best...ever. However, the list does say “musicians”.

[@michaelnorman6905]

It said Musicians And singers

[@TheAfterHoursLV]

Michael Norman - reading the title of the video, and the way in which the video is introduced state ‘musicians’.

[@necesitopasta3461]

Matt Cameron belongs on this list for sure. He was drumming for Pearl Jam and Soundgarden simultaneously in the 2010's.

[@mikewagner8458]

Maynard James Keenan. TOOL, A Perfect Circle, Puscifer. I haven't even heard of most of those honorable mentions.

[@nedd.8479]

1: Eric Clapton (Yardbirds, Cream, Blind Faith, Derek And The Dominoes, etcetera) 2: Dave Grohl (Nirvana, Foo Fighters, Queens Of The Stone Age, etcetera) 3: Jimmy Page (Yardbirds, Led Zeppelin) 4: Greg Lake (King Crimson, Emerson Lake And Palmer) 5: Steve Winwood (Traffic, Blind Faith)

[@aaronkristofer18]

Don't forget page with Black Crowes!

[@petebuckle6120]

Paul Rodgers is the best.

[@MrVickesson]

Don't forget that Steve Winwood was part of The Spencer Davis Group :)

[@Keyc94]

Dunno what dave Grohl is doing there. In Nirvana he was just a drummer. kurt could use anyone it would have no difference for the music. Because Grohl did no creative parts for the band. All work was Kurts that is why they had issues after his dead to claim copyrights....The list is full of names but only a few deserved to mention there.

[@David-pb2zn]

Axl rose fam

[@oldbittercraig3513]

Josh Homme was in Kyuss as well. Not saying he deserves a bump into the top 10, ffs look where Paul is placed, but Kyuss was certainly an important and influential band within their genre, perhaps more so than any of his subsequent projects.

[@keylinm6112]

How is McCartney only #7?!?

[@Smintjes]

Paul Weller: the Jam and the Style Council. And after that solo!
