Can't Forget the Stones at 67, I don't see why every thinks nirvana is so good, Cobain ruined music in my opinion, Sure he had a few decent songs, But he is the one who is responsible for these shitty emo bands, and Nu Metal Shit, U hate the guy with a fucking passion for this, Plus he Broke up GN'R. GRohl is the onyl talented member of that Band in my opinion.

I missed that!

Yeah, by all means...put the Stones between Joan Jett and Husker Du. :rolleyes:

[Jérôme Frenchise]

Err... Mpfff ha! ha! ha! ha! ha!
The sucking Sex Pistols and Ramones are there, and generously ranked at that, but the STOOGES are nowhere to be found...

WHAT THE FUCK?!?!

[Dave's Bitch]

FUGAZI are fuckin' incredible. Not your party style rock at all, but incredible band in every way.

Have you never heard "Waiting Room" or "Repeater"?

[academic punk]

Well, neither the Stones or the Who are hard rock in the first place. They're ROCK, plain and solid. In fact, those two bands wrote the textbook of what "Rock" is. Then again, even KISS to me are "Rock" rather than "Hard Rock". And bands like The Ramones and The Clash are punk, and that's a different set of rules and parameters from "Hard Rock" too. (This is why these lists are always useless to me.)

That being said, how AC/DC beat CVH is beyond me.

[superdave]

Van Halen should be number 3, behind Hendrix and Zeppelin...

What about Sabbath?, Without them there would be no Heavcy Metal, They deserve number 3.

[superdave]

Have never gotten into Sabbath, probably because I really don't care for Ozzy

[FORD]

Stones at #67???

What the fuck is up with that blasphemy? :mad:

I'm the same way with Ozzy. His voice just annoys me.

Everyone can argue that most of these bands belong in different categories. It looks to me like there wasn't anyone left out though.

[Golden AWe]

1. Led Zeppelin
2. Van Halen
3. Black Sabbath
4. Queen
5. The Who
6. Rolling Stones
7. AC/DC
8. Aerosmith
9. Kiss
10. GNR

That would be my top 10 on hard rock...

[Wawazat]

Jethro Tull 61.

They really burn down the house don´t they, tell me more.

i like ozzy's voice,what about it annoys you?

[Dave's Bitch]

ach where is Ronnie j?

[Llama]

And where is Skid Row on that list?????

[Mr Badguy]

Does it matter, really?

I have never sat and organized all the bands I like into a big list.

If I ever did, it would probably change every day.

You either like it or you don`t.

The compilers of this chart probably don`t know shit about Heavy Metal.

Anyone who did would never have had Quiet Riot in there.

[Soul Reaper]

i tend not to listen to lists after rollling stone's guitarists list

[Coyote]

If it's a list made within certain perimeters, by a hand-select team, I ain't interested.

(And most of these "definitive" lists fall into that category...)

They changed their name to Soul Brains a couple of years ago. Of course their old stuff is still under Bad Brains, but I thought I'd bring up the name change in case you wanted some newer stuff.

[bastardog]

That list is shit........Spinal Tab was a movie and made the list.
But Dio that is as real metal as Sabbath isn't even in the list.

For the guy that doesn't like Sabbath because of Ozzy's voice........Man try the albums with Dio (Mob Rules, Dehumanizer) and tell us what you think.

Also I agree with the explanation by DavidLeeNatra about the place of VH in the list

[Matt White]

Hmmmm...my list would change often too......

1.) LED ZEPPELIN

2.) CLASSIC VAN HALEN

3.) BLACK SABBATH

4.) AC/DC

5.) METALLICA

6.) G'N'R

7.) ROLLING STONES

8.) BLACK CROWES

5.Kiss / Duran Duran
4.David Bowie

The Who aren't hard rock? They're the fathers of hard rock, IMO. Won't Get Fooled Again, Baba O'Riley, I Can See For Miles, I Can't Explain, Heaven And Hell, etc. are great examples of early hard rock. Musically, the Who had that heavy, power chord kind of style that became typical of hard rock. They were doing it about as early as anybody else, and they pioneered a lot of things that became hard rock trademarks (volume, lighting, etc).

I thought the Who had always been seen as a hard rock band.
