Best Rock Group?

[A Foolish Mortal]

What is the best rock group you've ever heard? If you could, could you name a few songs to go along with the group?? I"m trying to fill up my iTunes playlist.

My favorite group is the Who. You haven't heard music if you haven't heard Baba O'Riley or Behind Blue Eyes. Great songs.

My close second would be Queen!

Only Rock, huh?

def lepard- love bites, foolin', rock of ages

led zeppelin- kashmir, black dog, whole lotta love

journey- lovin', touchin' squeezing- faithfully

U2- bullet the blue sky, beautiful day, vertigo, love is blindness, one


the last two may be questionable as to how "rock" ish they are, but I like 'em!

Have fun! It makes me laugh to think how much money and time I spent making mix tapes when I was in high school in the 80's...why didn't we have ipods???

I love a lot of bands, but my favorite all around rock band is Def Leppard! They are the total package for me. Second runner up would be Cheap Trick.

Oooooo, I love Cheap Trick! The "at budokan" CD is wonderful!!! Mmmmmm, Robin Zander!!

[Speedy1998]

Aerosmith!!!

[RedSoxFan]

I can't pick just one rock band. My favs: Def Leppard; Bon Jovi; Foreigner; Firehouse; Warrant; Poison; Boston; Aerosmith just to name a few.

Aerosmith!!!

Couldn't have said it any better.

Although I'm a huge Aerosmith fan, I have to honor Led Zeppelin as my favorite rock group. The Who is a close second as well. "Behind Blue Eyes" is hard to beat.

And we can't forget the Beatles. And the Stones. And Pink Floyd. Grateful Dead. The Doors. You've got a wide variety for your iTunes playlist!

As for individual songs:
"Going to California" is my favorite Zeppelin song. "Black Dog" and "Whole Lotta Love" aren't far behind. And "Stairway to Heaven" is a masterpiece, of course.
For Aerosmith, I really like "Livin' on the Edge" and "Jaded".

Rock on!

They're not the most "rock" band out there, but I love Barenaked Ladies! I couldn't choose a favorite song of theirs. As far as true rock goes, I'd say Aerosmith tops my list with "Love in an Elevator" and "Walk this Way" being my most favorite songs of theirs. I also love The Who ("Baba O Riley" is awesome). U2 is one of the best. I'm a Mellencamp and Springsteen fan. Foo Fighters and Stone Temple Pilots are great. I like Collective Soul and Big Head Todd and the Monsters. The Dave Matthews Band is excellent! As far as modern rock goes, I'm a big Maroon 5 and O.A.R. fan. I also like Green Day. So, as you can see, I'm not really much of a rock fan . But, to answer the question, Barenaked Ladies are my favorite rock/alternative band. And Aerosmith is my favorite true, classic rock band.

I used to really like Led Zepplin but, for me, their music has not aged well. It seems too ponderous to me now.

[kakn7294]

My fav is a local Pittsburgh band - the Clarks. If I have to pick someone everybody knows, it's AC/DC and Aerosmith.

I totally agree ... notice I left them off my list? I cringe every time I hear a Zep song nowadays.

Because, #1 I agree that they haven't aged well, and #2 because they are all so played out. For decades you couldn't turn on the radio without hearing Stairway to Heaven, or Black Dog, or Rock and Roll, or Goin' to California, or Over the Hills and Far Away, or Kashimir, or ...

Well ... you get the idea!

[BluewaterBrad]

Van Halen, Boston, Aerosmith, Molly Hatchett!!
