The 25 Greatest Rock Bands Of All-Time, Ranked

It's been "20 years since Nirvana came on the scene...", umm it has been 31 years. Good editing!
Also, Jimi Hendrix is... "a band"? Nope.
Apparently you have to be male, pale, have a depressed look, and horrible hair. And ugly. But... chicks dig the guitar!

That happened at first for me, just try again or refresh....it eventually shows the list. Weird. Also, like GK said, there is no number 24.

They used to. That's why garage bands were such a thing. Music was what was popular then. Now kids, what, try to be YouTube or TikTok famous?

Off the top of my head I would add Crosby stills Nash although they had different iterations.
Also maybe dire straits.
The band.

I don't think Jimi Hendrix and SRV really count as bands.
Okay, then Double Trouble/Triple Threat and the Jimi Hendrix Experience, I don't care. The point is Joe Strummer got his name because he couldn't play worth a shit.

Unlike the musical phenomenon that was Johnny Ramone?
The point isn't whether you can play or not. Not that I think The Ramones should be on the list.
If you're going to put a punk band on the list, ditch the Clash and Ramones, and put on the ultimate example, The Sex Pistols.

I'll ask because somebody has to. How do you click past Credence??? I can't find anything to move the thing.
@catseye3 I had to use another browser to do that.

U2 and the E-Street Band didn't make the list?

@bachophile
I agree with Dire Straits over a number of these. The Band is at presentable #9. -

U2's popular, but that's about it. The Edge ain't no Gilmour.

It's about "bands". They put on a massively great show, and have a massive string of hits, and play very tightly together. There's a reason that they are "popular" and have been for 40 years.

Grateful Dead and Fleetwood Mac didn’t make it
I don't care too much for either of them, but I agree with you that they should be up there, along with the Eagles.

Way to perpetuate your demographic stereotype there, IT.
Just joshin'. Yeah, they should be on there, considering what the list parameters appear to be. -
I must admit, I don't really like watching old codgers playing rock and roll, even if the band is really good. There's something vaguely discomfiting about it.
And yes, my use of the word 'discomfiting' marks me out as one of them.
I was only joking

I think it makes sense. Rock and roll is a boomer thing. Sadly, it's not really something that's continuing. Not in the mainstream, anyway.

I'm 57, right on the edge of boomerdom, and the majority of those bands were either before my time, or considered a bit lame, at least when I was growing up.

Yeah because Kesha and Drake are just so much cooler than Led Zep or Deep Purple. Give me "Hotline Bling" over "Immigrant Song" any day!

Are they the same as Lil Baby and Drake? Cuz just yesterday I heard a thing called "Yes Indeed" which I just loved.

There's no mention of Eric Clapton at all in that list.
Cream should go in at 24.
