Where is Limp Bizkit? They are for sure #1 ------------------ "You look a team that's been to the mountaintop like the Houston Rockets, I'm going to put pressure on myself to be the best possible player that I can be. With the pieces they already have in place and myself, we can do some amazing things next season." Maurice Taylor
what about Poison or Europe, and since when do bands that have a flute in them (jethro Tull) count torwards hard rock. Where's Midnight Oil??? ------------------ www.NOPostCount.com
Sonic Youth should be way higher. ------------------ When you make an assumption, you make an ass out of yourself and umption. visit www.swirve.com
Queen is hard rock? Neil Young is hard rock? At least 1/2 of the bands in that list aren't even close to being hard rockers. Mango ------------------ Test Your NBA Trade Ideas 1.

Limp who? Where the heck is Accept? Krokus? Micheal Schenker? Dio? Tesla? ------------------ In order to be a success in life, you need 2 things: 1. Don't tell everything you know.
What about Alvin Lee and Ten Years After? Montrose? Traffic? Trapeze? Foghat? Animals? If they can include the Stones, then Humble Pie belongs as a hard rock band.

And don't forget Robin Trower ------------------ In order to be a success in life, you need 2 things: 1. Don't tell everything you know.
Blue Cheer Canned Heat Uriah Heap Jeff Beck The Grateful Dead belong before Heart does. Is Carlos on the list? Mango ------------------ Test Your NBA Trade Ideas 1.

Being that Rage is one of the greatest political bands of all time they should be higher. ------------------ MOO Bush and Gore make me want to Ralph votenader.com
If Nirvana, Guns N' Roses, and Kiss belong in the top ten, given the other bands on that list, hard rock or not, then I must have wandered into the freaking twilight zone. Nirvana at #6, and Deep Purple can't crack the top twenty. Is that Henry Rollins I see in front of Janis Joplin? What are Slayer and Anthrax doing in the fifties while Metallica comes in at #5? Megadeth at #69? Have I missed a good Metallica album since '88? Twisted Sister nine ahead of Queensryche? I remember the eighties, but that's not how I remember 'em. Yeah, Motley Crue belongs well ahead of the Yardbirds. That's a quality list. They even threw Spinal Tap in there. Does anyone own a Spinal Tap album? Do you listen to it? And there are eleven bands behind Lita Ford that just don't belong there. Tell me they drew these names out of a hat. Why bother with Beck, Santana, and Vaughn when you've got Lita Ford?
As long as Zep is number 1, that's all I care about. ------------------ stop posting my damn signature
Bums & Posers at #9 is a joke. What a weird list. ------------------ I am the b*stard son of LHutz. Huh? Right!
Guns and Roses (way too high), Twisted Sister (this has to be a joke), Faith No More, Quiet Riot, Meatloaf, and Pat Benatar should not even be on this list. Rush at number 28 is just plain WRONG!!!! They should be top 10 easy! I cannot acknowledge this list due to a lack of credibility! ------------------ There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."

May as well add Duran Duran and STYX. What about Journey? They all sucked, add them! This is a terrible list. Good Lord! Lita Ford?????????? ------------------ There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."
Lita Ford rocked in her day. She (and a few others like Joan Jett) made it cool for chicks to get into hard rock. But Heart??!!!??!? Please. I think some people are forgetting that "Hard Rock" does not necessarily mean "Heavy Metal." While metal is certainly hard rock, the opposite does not apply. I have some issues with the order of the bands, but for the most part, the list is more of less complete. Personally, I HATE Pearl Jam. I think they suck suck suck, but as much as I hate them, I recognize their impact. And hell yes Quiet Riot belongs there. ------------------ Hey, I've got a new signature! 302
I am full aware that metal is not the same as hard rock. I am as big a music buff as anyone. But my opinion of Quiet Riot is simply this...they were a joke of a band, as was Twisted Sister. If you can count the number of quality songs on two fingers, then they do not deserve to be on a list of best all time rock bands. Just my opinion! ------------------ There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness." [This message has been edited by HOOP-T (edited November 03, 2000).]
::grumble:: While Quiet Riot may not have had a bazillion songs that everyone knows, everyone does know a couple: Metal Health (Bang Your Head) is a freakin' rock and roll anthem if there ever was one. c*m On Feel The Noize is another one. Find me someone with any amount of rock and roll knowledge who hasn't heard these two songs. In QRs case, these two songs alone are enough to warrant them being ont the list, IMO. In the early '80s they were up there with Twisted Sister and We're Not Gonna Take It and I Wanna Rock. TS was one of the bands that really kicked off the Glam Rock/Hair Band movement. You think Journey sucked? Wow. Oh well, to each, his own. ------------------ Hey, I've got a new signature! 302
