Wow Vaquero, Aerosmith and AC/DC came to mind for me too. And neither of them are really in my personal top 10 list, but I like them. But to argue for best rock band, I have to branch out from my personal top 10 and get something with some universal appeal. ELO? Queen? Ugh. Rolling Stones I can see.
Who?

So the Who's on first?
Yes.
It's not nearly as funny when I have to finish these jokes myself. :chuckle:

My favorite bands of all time are Iron Maiden, Pink Floyd, and Metallica. I'm not sure why, other than they just rock.

Tho I've always found Emerson, Lake, & Palmer the clear better choice, I've went back and gotten The Yes Album and Close to the Edge recently. CTTE is, clearly, one of the best prog-rock works of all-time IMO. A true work of art.
Can you believe this? In March of 71 my good bud and I went downtown here in Indy and for $6 we had a 3-band lineup to die for at the Tyndal Armory. 1st up? Black Sabbath...they cancelled (who cares, they always seemed to do that at the time and even back then, I liked the heavy sound, but hated that whiney singer...go figure)
So, we opened with YES, right as The Yes Album was released and they opened with Yours Is No Discrase, great set...and the headliners?
Jethro Tull, right as Aqualung was being released so they played alot of Stand Up/Benefit as well...one of THE best shows I've ever seen. Ian Anderson's performance was worth, at least, 10x the price of admission even then.
My $0.02
Tried to send you Iron Maiden rep, but have to spread it around first.
They'd be in my top 5 favorites. (the old stuff mostly)I like Metallica a lot too, Pink Floyd comes off too dark for me, I do like some songs tho.

My gosh, you youngsters! IMHO total heavy metal horse-poo! I've heard that the great bassist, Les Claypool, auditioned for Metalica only to be jettisioned because he was TOO good.
Iron Maiden/Judas Priest/Black Sabbath???? better than Floyd/Zep/Who, etc...as rock goes, are you all collectively braindead?

Talkin' about metal specifically in that post - these are the best metal bands of all time.
I place Zep/Floyd/Who in a different category, though they did influence metal. Pink Floyd and the Who are probably my favorite bands of all time.
