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.”
“Journey is Horrible. Whoever voted for that should listen to REAL music! Hasn’t anyone ever heard of the Beatles, Pink Floyd or the Who? You know, small town bands that did nothing for rock. Oh yeah, now I remember they CREATED ROCK!”

X Japan
“Their music extends from metal to classic, from hard fast beat to beautiful peaceful instrumental.
The music is not only beautiful as a music, but also alive. Check out Art of Life if you don’t believe. You will be driven to insanity by this song.
The energy they put into every music is powerful and beyond limit.
If they weren’t disbanded for 10 years, they’d probably have held the record of rock, metal band in the world.
”
“X Japan..
The most beautiful metal song I ever heard”
“X Japan is the most influential band in Japan. and yes, they changed the music of Japan’s music industry. There wont be Japanese Rock (JRock) we know today if it wasn’t because of X Japan existence.
This band has it all! Metal, Rock, Ballad, and even orchestral music. Their masterpiece, Art of Life, is nearly 30-minutes long and it’s a-must-to-listen to whoever call themselves music lovers!
They disband in 1997, but they reunited in 2007 and they’re ready to rock the world!”
