There can be no such thing as 'greatest rock band ever'. It's too opinionated, and as you can see from recent top 40 lists most people's opinions are dictated by fashion and the media. And you can't judge a band by record/CD sales now there's illegal downloading. I'm sure The Beatles would’ve sold far less records if they were the biggest thing today

Rock? Who the fuck listens to rock?

Rancid = Best band ever

What, no votes for Celine Dion and Micheal Bolton ?

ducks and runs

I suggest the following if you look at the root influences of post-blues modern rock. For example Aerosmith, Kiss, Van Halen et al follow on from Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin but there is no band which surpasses Led Zeppelin which was the original.

Pop = The Beatles

Rock = Led Zeppelin / Cream

Heavy Rock = Black Sabbath

Progressive Rock = Pink Floyd / Yes / Emerson Lake and Palmer

Acid Rock = Jefferson Airplane

Guitar = Jimi Hendrix / Joe Satriani

Punk = The Sex Pistols

Grunge = Pearl Jam

Far out! Didn't think anyone else had heard of them. Was the second LP I bought (after Billion Dollar Babies) was called 'Don't be fooled by the name' and yes I still have it. Brian Johnson is listed on the back as 'Vocals'. Brilliant version of 'House of the rising sun'

If you're as old as I am and like most things that runs on petrol, you'll agree with my list:

Queen
CCR
Foreigner
Pink Floyd
Kiss
Deep Purple
...and so on, you get the drift. Whatever order you arrange them, doesn't matter!

Not a big fan of KISS,but the man behind them - Bob Ezrin,is also involved in many of my most favorite rock performers.With Ezrin Alice Cooper's music became more commercial and the theatrics years ahead of anyone else.He produced,played and sang on Lou Reed's Berlin album,probably one of the scariest and emotive of Reed's work.He also produced the most theatrical and personal of Pink Floyd albums too - The Wall.A man behind the scenes,but as producer it's almost like his artists changed....

The order of my fav songs go like:

1) Shook me all night long
2) Thunderstruck
3) Dirty Deeds
4) Highway to Hell

Hard to put them in any order, but I would pick the following;

The Who
Pink Floyd
Deep Purple

In the "Progressive Rock" area I would include
Yes
ELP (Emerson Lake & Palmer)
The Crazy World Of Arthur Brown
The Pretty Things
