Queen and Led Zeppelin will always be my favorite bands. Their music is unmatched (IN MY OPINION)

[paulchen_pntr]

Scorpions, Linkin Park, Greenday, Deep Purple, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Iron Maiden, Dire Straits, Lynyrd Skynyrd

[andrewpappas]

While I am surprised bands like Metallica and AC/DC just barely made the Top 10, I’m just baffled as to why Rush, Van Halen, ZZ Top, Foo Fighters or the Jimi Hendrix Experience aren’t even on here. A second list definitely needs to be made considering all the bands that had made the chopping block…

[donmichaelcorleone]

Even though Led Zeppelin are by far the 'Greatest Rock Band' of all time and maybe the only band to contend for the top spot besides The Beatles, I can't disregard the impact and influence of The Beatles, even though classifying them as a rock band wouldn't be appropriate.I prefer The Beatles as the 'Greatest Band' of all time and Led Zeppelin as the 'Greatest Rock Band' of all time.
Also, hard disagree with Queen being ahead of Pink Floyd🤦‍♂️👎🏼

Listing the 20 greatest rock bands is a tough task, but any list will be subjective. Other great bands that could have made this list include Journey, Van Halen, Kiss, Bon Jovi, Def Leppard, Toto and Rush among many others. It's a little surprising you didn't mention how Led Zeppelin ended after the death of John Bonham.

[qhwah]

Putting AC/DC at 11 is the most criminal thing to ever happen

[romaaugustus]

Deep purple should definitely be on this list.

[patrickbateman]

As an Australian, I need to mention them. INXS. Sure, they may not be a pure rock band like their fellow Australians, AC/DC, but they perfectly combined the 70s sound of Australian pub rock with the 80s sound of new wave.

[potatomatop]

I get why Cream isn't on the list cuz they only played for 2 years. Cream is beyond God-like.
