To hear that Def Leppard came in at 47...behind bands like The White Stripes, Paramore, REM and Parilament...is mind bending. They sold more albums than those bands combined.
A lot of latin rock bands are starting to get pushed by media outlets and rock journalists who don't feel that the definition of "rock band" in the U.S. is diversified enough.
I’ve seen Aerosmith three times one time Guns N’ Roses blew them off the stage. Another time they were two hours late the third. They were pretty good. Maybe they’re taking that into account.
No Deep Purple. No Rush. No Iron Maiden. No Journey. No Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers. No Boston. No ZZ Top. Yet there's Paramore and No Doubt and a few more WTH choices. IMO, Van Halen should be Top Five or Six.
Found the article and decided to click on contributor bios. At least half of them hipsters had no business contributing to a list of greatest rock bands of all-time. Saw plenty of Olivia Rodrigo shout-outs though.
Eddie you’re older than me, your parents did not listen to the Eagles, and if they did,they did it like my parents. Maybe knowing Hotel California and thinking they were “hip”!
Glaring omissions to add to Eddie's.. Rush, ZZ Top, Skynyrd, Kansas. Alice in Chains, Judas Priest, Maiden, Jimi Hendrix Experience, Jefferson Airplane, The Cars, and countless more.😮 Don't include Rock as your category as you defame the name of Rock..🖕 I'm surprised they even included Thin Lizzy..
