Outcome

Of course, listing all the best American rock bands that have existed and still exist today is a difficult task that requires more than one day.

The direction of rock is one of the most popular in music world It lives in the hearts of millions of people.

The emergence of this genre opened up countless masterpieces that are alive to this day.

They touched the strings of the soul, played on the nerves, on emotions, on feelings. They sang with anguish about the eternal - about immortal love, about friendship, about finding yourself, your place in the world, about the fact that in the end you never need to give up, but the show .. The show must go on!

But what is the best rock band of all time? And is it that easy to find out? Music magazines and other media have repeatedly compiled their lists of the 10 best rock bands of all time. They included a limited number of performers. So they later expanded to become the top 100 rock bands of all time. But sometimes it seems that this is not enough.

Why is it so interesting?

Rock music is an amazing layer of audio art. So many words have already been said about what freedom it generates in the soul of the listener, what a storm of emotions you can experience when listening to a hit. In addition, rock musicians themselves are quite interesting personalities - their biographies are full of myths and legends, they are full of retellings about the ups and downs of geniuses. Alice Cooper, for example, himself wondered how the rockers leading a rather wild life could compose something so heartfelt? Scandals associated with them - do not list. And representatives of especially heavy genres, in principle, scare some people either with their appearance or antics.

Are there good ratings?

The question of who is better, of course, is always put squarely, but it is at this moment that it is, I must say, quite acute. History has more than one or two bands that deserve the title of "the best rock band of all time." By what criteria to choose? It is not known how much effort was spent on this, but at one time Rolling Stone compiled several such lists. Having achieved wide distribution and fame, the magazine is the first to come to mind when talking about all sorts of large-scale music ratings. Let's start with him.

According to Rolling Stone

The famous music magazine loves to delight fans with all sorts of ratings. On his account, not only the list of the best rock bands of all time, but also the best rock guitarists (by the way, he was also headed by the 500 most best songs, made up Rolling Stone and the list best films about rock bands. And, of course, the magazine annually publishes a list of the best, in its opinion, albums. More global ratings (some of which are listed above) are usually assigned to some significant date, anniversary, jubilee. They can contain from 10 to 500 positions.

So, the best rock band of all time according to the magazine is the incomparable The Beatles. And who's to say that these geniuses of rock music do not deserve a high title? What is true is true - the magazine compiled a list not only of rock bands, but also of performers in principle, which, by the way, is also significant - since music of this particular style turned out to be in the first place. The British had a huge impact on the development of rock and forever remained the pioneers of the genre.

By the way, when choosing the best among progressive rock bands, Rolling Stone especially noted Rush, a trio from Canada, and John Astville, in his opinion, became the best bass player (voting was conducted among magazine readers). You can list the rest of the leading positions in the ratings of this magazine endlessly - many of these lists have been released there.

According to Hit Parader magazine

Compiling a list of the top 100 rock bands, hardrock and heavy metal magazine Hit Parader declared KISS the best rock band of all time. Glam rockers, apparently, quite impressed the editors with their talent, and at the same time with their memorable appearance.

The top three also included Van Halen and Guns`n`Roses, second and third respectively.

Led Zeppelin and Queen are fourth and fifth. AC/DC and Metallica can be seen in seventh and eighth - surprisingly they were overtaken in sixth place by Slipknot.

The list abounds as already become legendary bands, and well-known modern ones - for example, Evanescense, whose soloist Amy Lee cannot but be remembered for her magnificent vocals, took the 52nd place.

What is surprising?

Evanescense in the eyes of Hit Parader turned out to be so good that they overtook them by one position. controversial decision- both are quite talented and have a huge number of fans, and John's much earlier fame, as we see, did not help him gain an advantage over Amy.

In turn, she took 10th place thanks to the multifaceted creative nature of the vocalist. The musician is known not only as a colorful member of the group of the same name, but also as an amazing watercolor artist. Merlin's amusing achievements were appreciated by Hit Parader, allowing Manson to get ahead of Ozzy Osbourne by many positions and deep purple. Apparently, the glam performed by Marilyn Manson impressed the magazine more than the scandalous episodes with Ozzy's participation and his heartfelt ballads. However, the fact that the latter was on the solo list does him a great honor.

According to Classic Rock

Classic Rock approached the issue more creatively than its predecessors, and in 2009 published a list of the best vocalists in rock bands. The rating includes fifty lines, which housed the best of the best. The leader in it is the legendary Freddie Mercury, allowing Queen to call the title of "the best rock band of all time" rightfully theirs.

Opinion Classic Rock

By the way, Classic Rock named Angus Young (AC \ DC) the best rock band guitarist.

The best drummer was named from Led Zeppelin.

According to VH1

The music channel VH1 could not pass by such a huge layer of talents, opportunities and masterpieces, and therefore immediately presented its rating to the readers and fans. The title of "best rock band of all time" went to Led Zeppelin.

The list starts off pretty old school, with Black Sabbath in second place, Jimy Hendrix in third, and AC/DC, Metallica and Nirvana in the next three positions.

How fair are the ratings?

Of course, every fan will stand up for their favorite artist. Nobody argues with this.

It is easy to see that some of the groups in a different order always end up at the top of the lists. They are called " best rock-groups of all time". Among them, Beatles, Queen, AC / DC, Led Zeppelin, Metallica are guaranteed to be present. But speaking of old school, which has been pleasing with music for a very long time, and, most likely, will delight with long-released albums for the same amount of time (considering that some of the "oldies" are still in great shape, and just recently released a couple more hits), it's worth mentioning the classic rock ballads Scorpions and the unfairly relegated Bon Jovi ratings. Ramones, Pink Floyd and red hot Chilli peppers.

And The Doors and Steppenwolf released hits that are heard even by the regulars of pop radio stations and not fans of hardrock at all.

What about modern?

It can be seen that some of the music magazines, when compiling their ratings, leaned in favor of rock, already time-tested, and some were happy to include new projects, somewhere even noting their advantage over the "good old". Even now, some of them delight with high-quality music and dare to give hope that they will remain in the hearts of fans for a long time, and, perhaps, become legends just like their predecessors. After all, right, fans, which include up to three generations, cannot but admire idols.

Who knows, maybe in fifty years 30 Seconds To Mars, My Chemical Romance will still be appreciated, green day, The Pretty Reckless, The Rasmus, Linkin Park. Some of them have already celebrated their 15th anniversary, others have ceased to exist, and still others are completely green, they are no more than five years old. All of them are associated with the rock idols of the new time, new trends, new ideas and solutions. Perhaps they are worth mentioning, if only because they have to compete with the legends.

Dozens appear every year musical groups who preach rock. Many of them, having achieved popularity, gather an army of thousands of fans at concerts and sell their discs in enviable numbers. True, only a few of these teams become truly legendary. We bring to your attention our top. It's called The Greatest Rock Bands of All Time.

Nirvana

Among the best rock bands of the XX-XXI centuries, the musicians from Nirvana deservedly deserved the right to be in this top. The team appeared in the late 80s in Seattle. And wide popularity came to him in 1991. That is, when a landmark album called “Smells Like Teen Spirit” appeared on the shelves of music stores. Thanks to him, the group managed to change the face of music itself, creating a completely new musical style. It's about about grunge. Thus, Nirvana became not just another formation that preaches rock, but a real symbol of the generation, and the leader of the group, Kurt Cobain, became its voice. In 1994, Cobain committed suicide and the group went out of business. But Nirvana albums are still very popular. In total, the group recorded three studio releases. All of them sold in huge numbers.

Queen

One of the best rock formations of all time is the British band Queen. It appeared in the late 60s. The group never followed musical trends and certain stylistic standards. finest hour for "Queen" was the appearance of the record "A Night at the Opera". It was released in 1975, after which the team received a truly cult status. In subsequent years, the group boldly continued to experiment, creating controversial compositions and albums. One of the most iconic releases at that time was "The Works", "Innuendo", etc. In general, the group's creative baggage includes 16 studio releases.

Black Sabbath

The Birmingham band Black Sabbath is rightfully in the rank of outstanding rock bands that are not subject to time. After all, it was this formation that, at least, became the founder of such a style as “heavy metal” and, thereby, had big influence on further development all rock music. Black Sabbath was formed in the late 60s. Ten of the band's releases were in the top ten of British chats. By 2000, the total circulation of the band's records had already approached 70 million. In 2011, the band decided to reunite with the original line-up and two years later recorded a new album, "13", having conducted a large-scale world tour.

The Pink Floyd team is not only one of the best rock bands of all time, but also one of the most influential in the entire history of world music. The formation was created in the mid-60s in the capital of Great Britain. Quite bold musical experiments, philosophical texts and grandiose shows. Over time, the team became the real embodiment of all psychedelia in music. The epochal record of the group is "The Dark Side Of The Moon", dated 1973. For fifteen years it was in the top 200 of the best releases in the United States. Pink Floyd has released 15 studio albums with over 300 million copies sold.

In 1971, after the death of Jim Morrison, the team actually ceased to exist. In all, The Doors have released nine studio releases. At the moment, their total circulation is 100 million pieces. The band's discs are still in enviable demand, and therefore the fact that The Doors appeared in the top of the best rock bands of all time is, in our opinion, self-evident and more than justified.

This British quartet, which appeared in the late 60s, brought together four unique musicians with colossal creative potential. In almost one decade of existence, the group has released ten studio records (circulation - more than 300 million copies). And all of them, without exception, had a platinum status. And the composition "Stairway to Heaven" is now considered one of the most popular in the whole world. A well-deserved fifth place in the top of the best rock-oriented bands of all time seems to be more than deserved.

deep purple

The Deep Purple quintet still exists and for its fans is not only a real "living legend", but also the best and most influential rock band, whose compositions are already considered "imperishable". Shark pen and music experts highly appreciate the contribution of the group to the development of hard rock and progressive music. Deep Purple was formed in 1968 in England. The members of the "classic" composition of this formation are rightfully recognized as virtuoso instrumentalists. The band's musical background includes the magnificent "live" album "Made in Japan" and the legendary rock anthem "Smoke on The Water".

The American-British band "The Jimi Hendrix Experience" appeared in the mid-60s. The soul of this musical formation was Jimi Hendrix. It was he who managed to create a whole direction in rock. Both on stage and in the studio, he constantly experimented with his favorite instrument. There has never been anything like it in rock music. Therefore, he is rightfully considered the "God of the guitar", and his team - " best rock band for all time." And although the band, before the death of Hendrix, managed to release only three studio records, all of them eventually became "classics", which are still sold in huge numbers.

The Rolling Stones appeared in the capital of Foggy Albion at the very beginning of 1962. Until now, it is considered the best and greatest "fatal" formation, which is not subject to time. In terms of the number of fans and popularity, the Rolling Stones can only compete with The Beatles. The team has released more than two dozen studio records. Of these, at one time eight releases in a row were recognized as No. 1 worldwide. The group became a world star when they released a single called "Satisfaction". He stayed at the top of the US charts for four whole weeks.

The legendary Liverpool quartet "The Beatles" existed for almost only one decade. But during this time, the names of the participants, in fact, have become household names. The music of The Beatles became truly incredible phenomenon throughout the history of world music. Their albums still diverge in enviable circulation. Therefore, this group can rightly be considered not only the best-selling, but also the best rock band. Moreover, not only of all times, but also of peoples.
