For once - you and I absolutely, agree beyond a shadow of a doubt :bl: . Just don't ask for a best song...

But I would like to pose a toast, The Great Gig in the Sky, from DSOTM album, live on the Pulse Tour

The Who #1....Quadrophenia.......Best Album Ever

Gotta give the Beatles a nod.......the amount of great music they put out in only 6 years is amazing and the way they transfomed in that amount of time is unbelievable.

The Top 10 bands of all time...(In no Particular order) IMHO

The Who
The Beatles
Led Zeppelin
Pink Floyd
The Kinks
Grand Funk Railroad
Rush
Cream
The Yardbirds
Jethro Tull


This, of course, is open to debate

Rock and Rock has to be sloppy, blues based, booze, drugs and sex fueled IMHO.
Floyd? I mean did they even get laid as rock stars or where thety sitting around in the hotel getting depressed?

Mid 60's to mid 70s Rolling Stones is the best rock band ever.

I love floyd, but love the stones equally...
Because of what you have above, I always rank the stones above the Beatles, and I like the Beatles...

Get yer ya-ya's out took me from stones listener to fan in 45min!

They would have made my list if they stopped right after that.......Some Girls was probably there last good album....everything after that was crap.....we're talking 25+ years of crap

Everytime I hear Emotional Rescue I get that vomit taste in the back of my throat. :yak:

Sympathy for the Devil and Gimme Shelter are awesome tunes

Sticky Fingers and Get yer Ya-Yas out are awesome albums...but they need to pay the price for 25 years of crap :hee:

I disagree, I refound Voodoo Lounge recently, and think it got a bad rap and actually has some pretty good rock songs on it

seriously Brian, they are a serious consideration for my number 1. talk about a band that NEVER changed and followed the latest fad. True to their adolescent roots.
And they bring up another key quality to a great rock band. You cant take yourself seriously.

For pure rock and roll it would be hard to argue Jim... plenty of good youtube AC/DC

And thats why I would have to consider U2 and Pearl Jam up there isn the tops...for just that reason

I love all the bands you guys have listed here so far but I got to weigh for the band I have seen the most. The Grateful Dead! I've seen 29 times not including Rat Dog Review, Jerry Garcia Band, and Bob Weir solo shows. Stoned, sober, or somewhere in between they always treated me good. God I miss those days.

I have found myself listening to Shine on You Crazy Diamond numerous times lately. I could listen to Gilmore every day pretty much. I think of Floyd a class unto their own.

Best rock band vote goes to Zeppelin though.
