The 25 Greatest Rock Bands Of All-Time, Ranked

Lists like this are always just one man's opinion. Several of them are jokes, in my opinion. But that's because my taste in music differs from the guy's who put this list together. Where are Gino Vanelli and his band, where is Boz Skags and his band, SRV, etc. If the criteria for getting on the list is innovation, half the groups on his list dont even qualifu.

I think it makes sense. Rock and roll is a boomer thing.
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.

Only people born in the 50’s really understand.

You guys do understand how these lists work right? They don’t give a flying fig which bands were the 25 best. What they do want us for everyone to be talking about their list and how they disagree do more people will click on the link to see it (and the ads). I’d much rather make our own list…

Most of them have that rebel without a clue look.
Notable exceptions: Beach Boys, Hendrix, Beatles, coincidentally that may be the best 3
By my count, there is one woman and one person of color, so diversity has been served.

The Beach Boys are sacred. They are unparalleled not just in the world of music, but in the world of sound.
Don't no one say bad about the Beach Boys. If you do . . .
Success is measured by your discipline and inner peace. – Mike Ditka

Not only do I dislike the Beachboys, I am also at a total loss as to why anybody likes them.
Furthermore, Liam Neeson agrees with me.
I was only joking

Yeah but we're arguing here, not there, so we're winning and they don't get the engagement.

Same. It's contrived, shallow nonsense.
Please love yourself.

Good artists borrow, great artists steal.

Everyone loves the Beach Boys, I have seen them in concert many times. Members of the band have included Glen Campbell and the Captain & Tennille. I have seen them share a stage with the Boston Symphony and with Chicago.
Except, of course, President Ronald Reagan’s Secretary of the Interior James G. Watt.
The Beach Boys had marked Independence Day at the National Mall in Washington, D.C., in 1980, 1981 and 1982, performing to large audiences each time, and it had been expected that a fourth appearance would take place. Watt, however, had other ideas – without naming the band directly, he announced that no more rock acts would take part on July 4, saying they attracted “the wrong element.” “We’re not going to encourage drug abuse and alcoholism, as was done in the past,” he said.

I would agree.

OMG, YES!
Never understood the attraction.
Years ago, I saw Michael Feinstein do a big band version of "Moondance," and it was quite good.
Good song, questionable artist.
