Im very sad not to see Megadeth on any of your list.
Metallica SUCK ASS in comparison
At least megadeth stay true to the fans and are not whining bitches
Dave Mustaine Was the best thing to ever happen to metallica. Thank God he got out before they turned into a bunch of mainstream pussys.

1. Led Zeppelin (no doubt in my mind they were the most talented group that there has ever been)
2. Oasis (if you only no wonderwall and champagne supernova please look into them more their songs are addicting, and Noel Gallangher is talented)
3. Allman Brothers

5. Rolling Stones (absolute classics)
6. Lynyrd Skynyrd
7. CCR
8. The Who
9. Jimi Hendrix
10. Pink Floyd

HaHa

1. The who: hence the name, and they are all gods.

2. The Beach boys: a little wierd but they are sounds of pure gold.

3. Ozzy Osbourne: GOD, come on you nearly die loads of times and still rocking

4. Guns n Roses: this gets harder as we go down but this had to be in the top five as any band who stays together under axl has to be of some spirtual status!

5. Metallica: what gods only taliica could pull of a whole album of covers and everyone like it. I heard Robson and jerome tried it :0

6. Queen: with all the musical quality, and i hate to say it bohemian rhapsody they pull off music as its own genre to a tee.

7. Iron maiden: theses guys just rock and at their fragile old ages still rocking out on stage pure genius.

8. The distillers: these guys rule i would`ve liked to put them up higher in the table, but they dont go that extra mile to make me come in my pants like the rest of the music does.

9. bad religion: they are the oldest most sensible punk band i know and they dont just moan about war they take other things in the world and shove them up its own ass.

10. reel big fish: i mean come they are the only ska band thats made it since madness.

so there it is, im so sorry i have to put an elevnth i know its nat an ad board but i really like these guys
11. Blackish-white: check them out www.blackish-white.com

1. Led Zepplin- not only had a great sound, but were also very original.

2. Jimmy Hendrix Experience- One of the most original guitarists in the history of music, an inspiration to millions of people. Also, he is considered a one hit wonder, how that happened, i do not know. Also, his solo in "all along the Watchtower" is incredible.

3. Carlos Santana- A great guitarist, one of the top five in my book. Also, sounds very similar to Hendrix, and may even be better than Hendrix. He also popularized latin rock with "Oye Como Va". Truly a great band.

4. Lynyrd Skynyrd- Another original band. More of a country style, yet they still had the ability to rock. If you have never heard Freebird, go do it right now. It is one of the greatest guitar solos of all time.

5. Van Halen- Eddie Van Halen, another of the greatest guitarists of all time. The solo in "Eruption" is a great solo and Van Halen also was able to make great covers of some mediocre songs (dancing in the street anyone?).

6. Rush- A very underrated band in my opinion. They were not only masters of the electric piano, but had a great sound too. Starting as a Zepplin tribute band, they were able to develop a great sound. Also, Neal Peart, the greatest drummer of all time laid down the beat, how could you go wrong with that?

7. Eric Clapton (and all bands associated: Cream/Yardbirds/Blind Faith/Solo Career/Derek and the Dominoes)- Eric Clapton, a truly great guitarist, all these bands were fairly successful and showed that Clapton could be versatile and play many different types of music.

8. Ozzy Osbourne (Black Sabbath)- Black Sabbath, while most other bands at this time (60s/70s) were playing songs about drugs or peace or general hippie stuff, they singing about very dark things. A very original band and also very heavy. Ozzy was also great solo. Crazy Train houses a geat guitar solo and his album "BLizzard of Oz" was great and he showed with "Mama Im Comin Home" that he could make great lyrics and wasn`t just a hard, senseless guy who bit off chicken heads. <-- seriously what`s up with that?

9. Guns `n` Roses- Possibly the best bands of the late 70s/ early 80s. GnR had a geat sound and was one of the few hard rock bands at that time to win a grammy (and in true hard rock style showing up drunk to accept it). Also could play more than just hard rock. "Civil War" was one of the best songs of the 80s. The only problem is, Axel was a HUGE part of GnR. Velvet Revolver just doesn`t cut it with me.

10. Rolling Stones- They were just purely classic. They made great music and cmon 40 hit songs? Who else can claim that? Keith Richards was also a wonderful guitarist.

And just to name some other greats -

11. Boston- Great sound, great lyrics, great harmonies
12. The Who - first rock opera ever
13. Tom Petty
14. Queen
15. Aerosmith - Damn how did they not make the top 10???
16. Blue Oyster Cult - First true heavy metal band (also a great SNL skit on them)
17. Metallica
18. Nirvana
19. Red Hot Chili Peppers
20. U2

Also there a many others, i mean how could you leave out AC/DC? Im jsut suprised that rush didn`t appear on more lists, if you haven`t listened to them, they are a great band, and to that guy who said Thw Who has great rythm, i agree completely, but Rush`s rythms and drumbeats blow Thw Who out of the water. There are soooo many more bands that i would like to put up there, i think i might create a new post, top 50 favorite hard rock bands
