The AVRev Top 100 bands of All Time list was compiled in 2006 by a panel of judges using several criteria, including US Sales, songs and songwiriting, technical ability, innovation, live performance, consistency vs longevity, and random play (how likely it was for a judge to listen to a band’s song if they were to come up on an iPod).
Here’s the top 10:
01. Led Zeppelin
02. The Beatles
03. Pink Floyd
04. The Jimi Hendrix Experience
05. Van Halen
06. Queen
07. The Eagles
08. Metallica
09. U2
10. Bob Marley and the Wailers
…
I’ve never heard anything by Zeppelin, Hendrix or Van Halen. Maybe it’s time that I do.

im surprised dylan isn’t on that list though… or jeff buckley. besides just one album, jeff tends to make it quite often on the top 10 lists.

Heh, my dad only really listened to The Beatles, Creedence Clearwater Revial, The Eagles and Lobo when I was growing up.
Got me a copy of Blonde On Blonde, so will have a listen soon.
Never too late to be exposed to the greats
