Honestly I don’t know all of them Ik muse but idk if they should be included and ik the stranglers but the only song I have heard from them is golden brown (great song btw) so idk
If most of these comments are that upset about a band they like being so low make your own list since it's just a opinion piece I'm just happy to see my 3 favorite bands mentioned at all
Depeche Mode is really underrated here and in most rock forum due to their eletronic influences...they are too much influential, should be at least in top15.
@@sanadcanmahmoud No he was saying my bands sucked but on his recent comments he made a list of his top ten albums and they were all metal. Yeah I’m not saying Coldplay’s metal💀 He deleted the original comment to so I see how you’re missing the context.
I’m a fan of King Crimson. But they are a bit of an acquired taste. Women don’t like them when they hear them… they are deep prog. Most American rock fans don’t know their stuff.
@@a.josland6155 Great listen, very enjoyable to listen to but in terms of creativity they’re no way near some of the progressive rock bands on this list
@@Alekskauff easy: the only way in which i would be happy with floyd in #3, is putting genesis and kc one and two or viceversa. And yes of course would be minimum #4. And supertramp between 5 and 8.
1. Rush 2. Neil Young 3. Chilliwack 4. Bryan Adams 5. The Guess Who 6. The Tragically Hip 7. April Wine 8. Loverboy 9. Streetheart 10. Fludd 11-50: Who gives a shit?
@@MrPatton-y1j And all three of them are uniquely good. With most other bands, they have one good concept, and then re-flavour that same thing. Radiohead did it thrice from scratch. No one else gets close.
Dire Straits should be way higher. Most people only know them for 2 or 3 songs, but if you listen to their discography they really didnt write a single bad song. Thats pretty rare for even the greatest of bands like Pink Floyd.
❤MUSE is so underrated. Matt Bellamy's vocal powers are out of this world. That's quite injustice. Sunburn♡, Bliss, Starlight, Hysteria, Supremacy.. are only few examples to good songs. Muse is unique and it's still an active band.❤ (You should watch some voice analysis. In Micro Cuts he really goes to high pitch sound)
To be honest it's pathetic Muse isn't included on this list. They are known to be one of the best live bands out there, and Knights of Cydonia basically has a legendary status in the rock community by now.
Very good list. Being a prog rock fan I would have liked to see in your list "Yes" and "Alan Parsons Project". Aside from that maybe "Coldplay" should have been there. All in all, I like your list, particularly that you included some of my favorites that other lists do not include like "Supertramp" and "Duran Duran".
Think Def Lep, Depeche Mode and Priest too low on list. Uriah Heep should be there somewhere. Many bands these 4 can replace positions. So happy I can see a list without Metallica....
def leppard at 48 is actually crazy. they’re the greatest band from the 80s and have had one of the greatest careers and almost the best longevity of any band of all time and you got them this low. they’re only top 10 in sales, hits and have 2 albums reach platinum (a feat only 4 other bands achieved!!) yeah i don’t think im gonna sub lmao. the beatles is the only band who is placed right
I'll go further; Radiohead today is more relevant and influential than Queen, Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd. You'll see heads explode, but Alternative has been Rock's most important genre for over 30 years, and Radiohead is one of those responsible for that.
Obviously, we gave the world the best music, but what strikes me here is that our bands have so many interesting characters. Ginger Baker, Jarvis Cocker, Keith Moon, the Davies brothers, Marc Bolan, Johnny Rotten, Lemmy etc
No, in fact Morrissey is one of the singers with the most entries in the UK charts, having more than 50 songs that reached the top 40. In addition to 5 number 1 albums. Even the 3 Smiths albums that were not number 1, were Number 2, a bit of bad luck, but still a very high position. And even more so taking into account that none of their albums dropped from the top 2. Beyond that, The Smiths is one of the most important bands in the last 40 years, the new generations LOVE the Smiths, Tiktok is full of videos , edits and fan accounts of The Smiths, people under 15 LOVE the Smiths, since their music is timeless. They have 8 songs that have more than 200 million streams on Spotify, which few bands from the 80s have, one of the songs is close to 600 million, and they have more than 6 million followers on Spotify.
Moody blues, procol harum, atomic rooster, taste, camel, renaissance, stone the crows, Colosseum, graham bond organisation, soft machine, the nice, incredible string band, steleye span, pentangle, curved air, gentle giant, van der graaf generator, caravan, black cat bones, free, the clouds, walrus, family.....and more... Andromeda, hard stuff, bullet, black widow, keef hartley band, Ainsley Dunbar retalation, ginger baker airforce, the Gun, Baker Gurviz Army...from Chechen Republic with love
If it's only to do with music, to each their own. But, if this compilation involves a wider range of issues : iconic, trendy, the influence, impact on the world, society, innovation ecc, definitely Beatles deserve to rank at nr 1. They are History!
You added groups like The Verve, Blur and Duran Duran, while omitting The Charlatans (UK), The Inspiral Carpets and The Gorillaz. The Charlatans are still active!
They marked an era, and had a certain influence on some bands of the time. But to be honest, they weren't very interesting in terms of music, composition, lyrics, creativity, or anything. That's why they only lasted 4 years and then the kids who used to listen to them simply grew up and stopped listening to them.
I love how the only placement everyone agrees on is the Beatles
Its the only one that works.
Led Zeppelin tops the Beatles, both are amazing, but Zeppelin is the greates band of all
@mateusgottschallesa3298 led zeppelin were amazing and their albums could go toe to toe with the beatles but the beatles just had more

wings shoulda been higher than arctic monkeys
Def leppard shoulda been higher
Arctic Monkeys are easily better.
Coz Arctic Monkeys are objectively better.
@@BGwxlf Def leppard is way higher than Arctic Monkey. No match in terms of international popularity and impact.
The cure only being on 22 is crazy and I would switch Zeppelin and Pink Floyd. Pretty good list though.
Agreed
Agree with pink and zep but I honestly think the cure is a lil overrated
led is greatest
Bro
w king crimson placement. super underrated usually, honestly i think there discography is almost as good as pink floyd’s
Definitely, king crimson is my 2nd favorite band
Almost.
I agree.
Even ELO, ELP and Supertramp are better than them
Better than Pink Floyd, IMHO.
I don't agree, they are much better than Pink Floyd.
In terms of the British, The Kinks are the most British band.
I think they. were so interesting and cool! But just the songs like Penny Lane and many other by the Beatles were and are perfectly British!
And motörhead is the least
Either the Kinks or Iron Maiden
Nope. Jethro Tull is more British than any of them.
Only because they got banned from America
Thx so much for putting Badfinger, I love them, since ur opinions prob changed about 100 best bands if u want could u plz make one of those again
Great list, Dire straits should be within the top 20 in my opinion
Should be in the top five, one of my most favourites of all time.
Where are URIAH HEEP?
Where are THE STRANGLERS?
Where are MUSE?
Where are STATUS QUO?
Where are TALK TALK?
Where are UB-40?
Where are RAINBOW?
Where are MADNESS?
Where are WHITESNAKE?
(Some of them, on my channel!!!😉)
Never heard of them lol
Yeah should have been status quo instead of pulp tbh
Exactly. Status Quo should be top 30
I agree with you that Talk Talk are a glaring omission here.
Honestly I don’t know all of them Ik muse but idk if they should be included and ik the stranglers but the only song I have heard from them is golden brown (great song btw) so idk

I cannot overstate how glad I am that you included Priest, Maiden, and Sabbath
Why wouldn’t he? Sabbath is awesome
@@Daryl_Phillips_ Maiden even more so
Like no one was expecting...
I thank him for putting Badfinger they are my fifth favorite band ever after 4 zep, 3 stones, 2 Beatles, 1 doors, and no one really knows who they are
As if no one knows about them or what? Literally 3 of the best known music acts in popular music ever😭
Pink floyd is my favourite band, but i agree that The beatles are the greatest.
Don't think I saw Nazereth. Underrated.
We are animals
Quite a few missing here. Coldplay, Muse, Gorillaz, Portishead, Slowdive, Massive Attack, and many more deserve to be on this list.

way better albums and singles than both those two tho
ooohhh, look at me now, feeling the motion
If anything elo should be in top 10
I think elo are underrated, so its good seeing them high 😊😊
I have tickets to see ELO on their farewell tour, really great band, but I agree with where they are placed
Dire Straits should be top 15 at least. Also where is Status Quo?
I still can't believe he put oasis ahead of dire straits
Missing The Jam, plus I don't think Pulp qualifies as rock, Jarvis Cocker himself stated they're a pop band
Deep Purple was more important than King Crimson.

I wouldn’t say alt rock is the most important for 30 years but I can see the band being the most influential right now compared to them.
XTC, Madness, Small Faces, The Move, Sweet, Procol Harum, Humble Pie, Mott The Hoople....just a few missing from the list.
It's unbelievable how such a small territory has more good bands than the rest of the world when it comes to rock music

I was sure dire straits were from the US for some reason , W list tho
I agree with the top 5, but everything else could definitely be rearranged
SWITCH positions with STONES & DEEP PRUPLE.
