Greatest Bands/Artists Of All-Time........

[Freddie55]

The greatest ever artists for me simply because they have provided me with the most hours of listening pleasure throughout my life so far.

Pink Floyd
Bruce Springsteen
Led Zeppelin
David Bowie
Jethro Tull
Black Sabbath
Alice Cooper
Neil Young
Elton John
Creedence Clearwater Revival
Steppenwolf
The Guess Who

I'm glad David Bowie was finally said. He really inspired a whole genre of music. A weird merger of Pop and Rock that Fleetwood Mac didn't quite achieve. Heroes is truly one of the best albums in an album sense.
Also, he's not on my list but I feel the need to give an honorable mention to Eric Clapton, a virtuoso of the bend.

Anyway, my list in a loose order.

1: Pink Floyd
2: The Brian Jonestown Massacre
3: The Beatles (Only their later stuff)
4: Chopin and Schumann
5: John Frusciante
6: David Bowie
7: Led Zeppelin
8: King Crimson
9: Radio Head
10: The Velvet Underground

Just wanted to say something about John Frusciante. Everyone would know him as the former guitarist of The Red Hot Chili Peppers, but his solo stuff is amazing. His second album, Smile From The Streets You Hold (which is no longer for sale ) (Luckily, I have an old copy ) is a bit hard to really like at first, probably because of the ridiculous drug inspiration. Most people would connect with Shadows Collide with People orThe Empyrean better. He really is a master guitarist, the Eric Clapton of this time. It's like mixing Slash, David Gilmour and Jimmy Page.

His lyrics are pretty terrible though.
