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.

2)
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.”
“Each one was the master at their craft. Jon Bonham was one of the best drummers ever, Jimmy Page was one of the best guitarists ever, Robert Plant the best singer, John Paul Jones the best bassist and made Led Zeppelin’s greatness and improv possible.”

Queen
“the name rocks their style rocks, their way of making albums and doing tours rocks, and all that’s not even mentioning their music which is the most awesome out there, you can’t even argue that Queen is the best, Led Zeppelin and Van Halen are 2 and 3.”
“Queen, Just Amazing. They wrote classic and virtoso hits from early 1970s - the 1980s and early 1990s which included different styles of music though always in the essence of Rock. However they wrote so many classic hits, their early albums are some of the greatest of alltime including Queen, Sheer Heart Attack, A Night at the Opera but Queen II to me is the most musically brillaint albums of the past 40 years. Prg Rock ect their just majestic”
“Queen is the best band ever...
I don’t understand why 30 seconds to mars is so high. Metallica, The Beatles and Led Zeppelin are on the right place”

“you have to be extremely open-minded to listen to this band and truly appreciate them and Thank God I am. Hands down mind blowing. Their lyrics are like nothing I’ve ever heard. They started with a solid foundation and sadly lost one of their members but they know they’re too talented to give up. If they don’t continue for themselves they’ll for sure do it for jimmy, they know if they don’t he would he pissed”
“why in the hell is this #11. it should be #1! Avenged has the best. Syn, M. , Zacky, Johnny, and RIP The Rev. their songs are all different, they’re not like metallica whose drags on and on and on and they sound exactly the same.”
“Avenged Sevenfold has the best instrumentalists. Synister Gates is my favorte guitarist and they also have different songs and they all have great tunes. Not even 30 Seconds to Mars can beat them.”
