Greatest Rock Band Of All Time
Rock and roll is a genre of music that emerged as a defined musical style in the American South in the 1950s, and quickly spread to the rest of the country, and the world. It later evolved into the various different sub-genres of what is now called simply "rock". As a result, "rock and roll" now has two distinct meanings: either traditional rock and roll in the 1950s style, or later rock and even pop music which may be very far from traditional rock and roll.
This list is a collection of the top ten rock bands of all time. This includes bands that can be categorized as rock and roll, hard rock, southern rock, country, pop and just about any other genre that has evolved from 50's rock and roll.

Led Zeppelin
“Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Paul Jones, and the late John Bonham....Led Zeppelin; four individuals from differing backgrounds with diverse personalities and creativity came together composing, producing, and performing music without limits.
They are legendary and formed the backbone of what "hard rock" is defined as today. Jimmy Page was and still is the heart and soul of Led Zeppelin. They deserve their rightful place as the number one rock band of all time.”
“I wonder if the people who voted the other bands have ever heard Led Zep. You listen to them and then you listen to the rest and there’s light years difference. Jimmy Page is God, man.”
“The feeling the emotion... NOTHING BEATS THEM. The wail of plant shatters mountains. Rhythm of John Paul Jones gives ears orgasms. Pages guitar creates calming seas or crashing waves. John Bonham can create quakes in the most organized way!”
