Written By: smokejumper on 10/11/07 at 3:19 pm

I want to avoid doing one of those 1-10 opinionpolls as I may miss out out on hearing of a truly greatband that I hadnt heard of, so I shall leave this open to subjective opinion .
If possible give links to information of suggessted bands. Thanks

No disrespect to Air Supply, but I don't think they're really rock and roll. 

You might want to start with classic acts such as (In no particular order):
Led Zeppelin
Black Sabbath
The Who
The Rolling Stones
The Doors
The Police
The Cars

my personal picks are more hair band:  8)

Motley Crue
Poison
Bon Jovi
Skid Row
Van Halen (the David Lee Roth period songs are best, IMO, but the Sammy Hagar tunes are good too)

I prefer the Sammy Hagar years. Not a big fan of Sammy since Montrose, but at least he brought extra talent into the band.  All David Lee Roth knew how to do was jump around.

Yeah he jumped around a bunch but he WAS sexy.  By the time they got to Hagar they mellowed a bit, were all bloated from alcohol and had to resort to spelling out the sex appeal via "For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge".

The best thing is to give a listen to anything and everything and make up your own mind.

    I'll tell you which band comes the closest to being the greatest rock band of ALL time, I'm totally serious.  Forget everything you've read before...

  AC/DC.  Everything before Brian Johnson is the best of the best.  They have not recorded a bad song.  They're, like, freakin' rock gods or something.  It's weird how a band can be so effin' awesome.  They're not human.  I still have trouble believing it.  It's definately a miracle.  Nobody kicks your ass like AC/DC does.  Jesus loves us...

  Listen to "High Voltage" and tell me I'm wrong...

  Not only that, but if Bon were still alive today, he'd steal your girlfriend...

I guess it really all depends on what type of sound you are looking for in a band.

For starters, I would go with:

Cheap Trick........ http://www.cheaptrick.com/

The Replacements........http://www.colormeimpressed.com/

The Kinks......http://kinks.it.rit.edu/

Thin Lizzy......http://www.thinlizzylive.com/

I went with some of the forgotten great bands, so it might be more interesting to discover all of the hidden music that these artists created that has been overlooked.
