This is the one poll to rule them all, the culminate point in all of forumfall history. What is the greatest Rock Band of ALL TIME.

Remember everyone, this is ROCK BANDS, not heavy metal or metal.

Off the top of my head, important bands you missed:

The Who
Lynyrd Skynyrd
Foreigner
Van Halen

Among many others. Doesn't matter though, you have led zeppelin and that's all this poll needs.

I voted Led Zeppelin, only because like a retard you forgot about...

BLACK SABBATH, the greatest and most influential rock band in history.

You fail.

And Queen, or did you leave them out because you are an intolerant homophobic pig!

The Band?

LOL

They retired before you were probably even born OP and I'll bet you don't even know one tune they play.

And Queen

Holy shit, I didn't even notice. This is a failure thread. Someone with an ounce of knowledge about the subject should have made it instead.

So, bands that were missed and definitely deserved a spot:

Van Halen
Queen
Guns N' Roses
The Who
Lynyrd Skynyrd
The Rolling Stones
Aerosmith

NOTE: To those saying Black Sabbath, they are technically metal. So yeah, they aren't allowed on the poll.

Poll wasnt big enough guys, I had to put in ones that I thought were top 15, I personnally cannot believe i missed Guns N' Roses cause im a huge fan, pre slash getting pissed at Rose
I SERIOUSLY can't believe i forgot about The Who.
And I saw the rolling stones live too man, Cant believe i forgot them either.

Too bad theres only 15 options.

The Clash were very popular at their time too. Maybe not one of the best of all time, but were a great band, as well as the Police, the Cars, and the Ramones.

Can't think of any others at the moment.

My personal top 5:

AC/DC
Led Zeppelin
The Who
Pink Floyd
Boston

No RUSH either. This poll sucks. I vote Led Zeppelin. Kudos for having Boston on there though.

Classic Rock, not Prog Rock
R.U.S.H Is my favourite band of all time, but it is not classic rock. Sorry.

out of those choices ac/dc.

Whitesnake though is the best rock band imo.

Classic insinuates age more than style. Those bands weren't called classic rock back then. RUSH is a classic rock band. Their style is progressive.

Pearl Jam isn't even classic rock, it's grunge. Doesn't belong on the list imo.

I absolutely refuse to vote in a poll without these bands included.

With that said I voted for AC/DC, your poll is fail.

Nirvana is also grunge you fucktard. Does anyone know their music genres here or does everyone just fucking pretend to like this sort of music?

Tough choice: AC/DC, ZZ top, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin and GNR.
But i grew up on Deep Purple so I voted for them

Also: why the fuck isn't Queen on the list?

Seriously, what's with all the circle jerking to classic rock... Not a single band on that list was prominent post-80's except Pearl Jam. This is not to say that none of those bands mentioned are good, but seriously, ZZ Top! They're hardly the apex of music. Plus, where the fuck is mah Velvet Underground! There is more to the 60's and 70's than hard rock and progressive.

-No Punk
-No Metal (It's still a sub-genre of rock, I see no reason to exclude it.)
-No Bands from any country other than English speaking countries, so you forgot the Krautrock-era (Can, Neu!, Faust, and to an extent Kraftwerk.) and other prominent scenes.
-No Bowie or Queen...:( that makes me a sad panda...
-No relatively modern bands. I wouldn't mind if this thread was Classic Rock Bands The Best of The Best.

Classic Rock, not Prog Rock
R.U.S.H Is my favourite band of all time, but it is not classic rock. Sorry.

By that token of knowledge, wouldn't Pink Floyd and Jethro Tull be out if we went by the definitions of Prog. Rock at the time.

Seriously, this thread is coming off as fucking god awful knowledge of music.

But in reality, I voted The Beatles, but I would much rather voted Sonic Youth any day.

Jethro Tull >> everything else in poll.

Cept maybe the beatles. They're a close second.
