The title for the thread should be My favorite Rock Bands instead. Because the top best ten list is not going to be a one-size-fits-all kind of solution. A quick list of my favorite top bands of all time would be (1)Beatles (2)U2 (3)Pink Floyd (4)Led Zeppelin (5)Nirvana (6)Queen (7)AC/DC (8)Rolling Stones (9)REM (10) (One of the honorable mentions from below) Honorable mention: Eagles Chicago Beach Boys Jimi Hendrix Experience One of many Eric Clapton's bands;Derek and Dominos, Cream, Yardbirds etc E-street Band Radiohead Metallica GNR and a few others I won't break my head to try to recall.
