Post subject:  VH-1 100 G. Hard Rock

What do you think of this list?

This not my personal top 100 list. If I completely disregard what I think about a band and go with mainstream appeal and the merits of them achieving what they sought, I Agree with:

Led Zeppelin
Black Sabbath
Jimi Hendrix
AC/DC
Metallica
Van Halen
The Who
KISS
Aerosmith
Queen
Pink Floyd
Cream
Ramones
Ozzy Osbourne
Alice Cooper
Pearl Jam
Deep Purple
Judas Priest
Iron Maiden
Cheap Trick
Motörhead
Rush
Mötley Crüe
Def Leppard
Alice in Chains
Frank Zappa
Yardbirds
Stone Temple Pilots
Pantera
Scorpions
The Smashing Pumpkins
Slayer
Thin Lizzy
Korn
Blue Öyster Cult
White Zombie
Heart
Anthrax
Bad Company
New York Dolls
Jethro Tull
Boston
The Rolling Stones
Megadeth
Lynyrd Skynyrd
Twisted Sister
Ratt
Queensrÿche
UFO
Whitesnake
Foreigner
Tool
Rainbow
The Misfits
The Black Crowes
Yes
Primus
Quiet Riot


What bands do you think meet that criteria? Dio is missing and they actually play his stuff on the radio all the time. Though I generally don't care for them Creed were basically on top for about 5 years there, much longer than some of these they listed.

Another list where some committee of people in suits think that their collective opinion actually matters. These "100 greatest _______ of all time" lists are beyond pointless, and are always stupidly predictable. So Led Zeppelin's #1, huh? I never would've guessed.

Yes, every single person on the board knows that, but within the confines of popular mainstream hard rock and heavy metal, I thought It would be fun to actual belittle and make their list look stupid on their own terms.

I removed the contrived Pop bands from the list I posted or the one hit wonders that no one knows who the hell they are. Nirvana and Soundgarden don't cut it in my book. They were never part of heavy metal or hard rock culture whatsoever. The aforementioned much despised Creed actually comes closer to metal's roots than Soundgarden does.

These are the bands that I think fit (bolded are my top picks even though half aren't 'hard rock').

In my opinion VH-1 considers all metal to be a subgenre of Hard Rock because they think like a radio station, not like fans do. Just like I consider all Punk to be Pop music, because I am not a fan and it fits within the confines of my ends and needs.

There are tons of good bands on that list actually. Whether they qualify as hard rock obviously is a different matter.

Joe Lynn Turner is fucking amazing. Bonnet is just as good, but in a more "Eddie Money" sort of way.

And people that don't like Alcatrazz's Dangerous games are fucking clueless. If you listen to any Graham Bonnet project for shredding guitar, you've already lost.

I'm fine with them handling hard rock. When they try and cover what they think is " metal " it's just downright embarrassing.

I'ts not a bad list for a hard rock one.

There's actually more metal in there than I would've expected.

Though there's no Guns N Roses who are probably one of the better hard rock bands (well they're my favourite one).

Why remove Nirvana and Soundgarden - they were good hard rock bands too.

A lot of Metallers actually lump Soundgarden into metal due to the fact that they at times sounded closer to Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath than a lot of other bands.

Now if this was a Metal list it would suck.
