Top 10 All-Time (blues, doors, career, solo, quote)

That list is good. I'd take out Bob Dylan and put Metallica there. I'd put G'n'R at number 10. I would bump Jimi up alittle higher possibly number 3 becuase he did influence alot of music from bands such as the Beatles and likely Led Zeppelin. Led Zeppelin is the all time greatest rock band. Number 9? Pink Floyd. Can't forget Floyd ( Best selling album of all time ) Shows you how many stonners are out there.

... i dont know how much influence jimi hendrix had on the beatles. i mean his first album dropped in 1967... and the beatles broke up in 1970. they by that time were developed musicians who were doing the influencing on others. besides that, i just dont see how jimis psychedelic blues rock influenced any of the beatles music. not to say they didnt appreciate his music.

floyd doesnt have the best selling album of all time either, the eagles do (worldwide i believe michael jackson does with "thriller"). they really are more of a psychedelic band anyhow; bob marley, bob dylan, and the beatles were more avid promoters of marijuana.

edit - ps led zeppelin = always overatted

Well ok mabey you're right about the Beatles. They did go to see him play and were fans like everyone else. But ok, the Beatles are the Beatles. John Lennon is my favorite lyricist/songwriter. (btw)

Led Zeppelin I don't think is overatted. Look at the band. Awsome guitarist ( Arguable one of the best ever ) Awsome Drummer. Awsome basist. So so singer but he fits with the band. When I listened to them for the first time when I was like 12, I automaticly liked every song off of Led Zeppelin II. I haven't found an album where I liked every song like that ever. (with exception to Nirvana's Nevermind) I know it's a personal opinion and all, and I've kind of O.D.ed on Zeppelin, but they have to be the best rock band of all time. Super group.

If you're talking purely about technical skill, then there are many, many bands ahead of Zeppelin.

I don't see how single handedly popularising a significant genre of music dosen't make you great.

I'd have to say Bob Marley would fit into the "Great" category.

yo guys read my post. i said 'its NOT that he wasnt great' (double negative, meaning he was great). look at my avatar... i went to the last 2 marley fest in austin, im a big fan. were talking about a top 10 list though... and i do think there are 10 musicians who were greater. i think i posted 8 of my 10 earlier on this thread.

Frances · 07-26-2007, 08:28 PM

I didn't read your post, I was just saying he's a music "great".
Now that you bring that up, (Even though you did before and I just didn't read it) No, he's not in my top ten either.

Sticking with the era you've chosen, I'd throw in Cream and the Doors to round out the top ten. Since I was never that impressed overall with Clapton's solo career, I'd ditch him and throw in the Moody Blues.

Yay, a Moody Blues fan. =)
