[AngusMcTavish]

Is it okay if I give descriptions as well?

1. VAN HALEN--As long as the music still kicks a$$, who cares who's singing?

2. ALPHAVILLE--German pop band from the '80s, still around today, led by the chilling voice of Marian Gold. One of their first singles, "Forever Young," was heard in the "Napoleon Dynamite" school dance scene.

3. QUEEN--You can't beat Freddie Mercury, but I'm glad they got a decent singer in Paul Rodgers.

4. LOWEN & NAVARRO--Wrote "We Belong" for Pat Benatar in '84, recorded it themselves in '90. Pumping out as much as they can now, since Eric Lowen has ALS (Lou Gehrig's). The Navarro is Dan, not Dave.

5. JUDAS PRIEST--Lots of great classic metal material, and the best reunion story for any band!

6. W. A. S. P.--Still around today, but they haven't been the same since "Crimson Idol."

7. JIM STEINMAN--Songwriter for Meat Loaf, Bonnie Tyler, Celine Dion...his writing style is just unique!

8. AC/DC--Come on, it's AC-frickin'-DC!!

9. PRESIDENTS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA--Fun stuff! Must be easily amused in order to enjoy 'em.

10. BILLY TALENT--Canadian punk group whose "Red Flag" I first heard in a PS2 hockey game!

I don't really have a top 10. I appericate all kinds of music. And i also have more than a top 10 favorite.

[RideTheLightning]

It's hard to say...But I'm going with:

1 ) Metallica (80's) and Death Magnetic-All those albums were AMAZING. They put thought, feeling, and talent into each of those albums.
2 ) Slayer-...F*ckin' Slayer!
3 ) All of the bands Dio was in-He's an amazing vocalist!
4 ) Megadeth-Dave Mustaine all the way, awesome band.
5 ) Necrophagist-Best drummer ever, one of the best bassists ever, and one of the best guitarists ever.
6 ) Pantera-R.I.P. Dimebag...
7) Yngwie Malmsteen-One of the best guitarists, maybe THE best.
8 ) Led Zeppelin-Dude...it's Zeppelin.
9 ) RATM-Rap rock at its best
10 ) Annihilator-Really cool thrash metal band.

[PicklesNumber1]

I notice alot of "classic rock" on these lists.

As i have said before, music now is nothing more than an exercise in capitalism.

With thee older bands (60's and early 90's) music was an art. No pressure to make "the next hit album" .

Dont get me wrong, bands today dont suck. If they could write what they want, when they want, im sure the music scene would be good again. But producers and the like are driven by pure greed.

Support local artists and Indie Labels.
